Quite the deal IMHO. My kids were thrilled to finally have "real office" that they had begged for but never had. "OpenOffice is good enough and free)".

With online Word/Excel - you can even have "real office" on your Linux boxes The online versions are not nearly as full featured as the desktop versions, but I think they are much better than Google docs. Much much better.
Well I went today to the Micrsoft store and pre ordered it. Surface Pro 4, i5, 256 GB, 8 GB RAM. Ordered the bundle with Teal keyboard Office 365, Sleeve and 2 year protection. I don't usually buy the protection plans but with the bundle it was practically free and covers anything except being stolen. Even if I run over it with my car. LOL. I'm almost second guessing myself if I should opt for the 512 GB one.
