Alternatively, he can just back up his data and reinstall the programs. I just don't see the SP4 going through a huge hardware revision.

Buy SP3. When SP4 comes out, make a disc image, sell the SP3 and put proceeds towards SP4 and buy it. Restore disc image. Upgrade OS. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Fair enough.

People were claiming performance was better. Value is subjective.

But everyone was saying the i5 SP3 > i7 SP3 when the i7 came out. Where art thou naysayers?

Ok I get it now. 3x the speed = 3 times the price / 8 times the space. Using my math, the price/performance ratio isn't quite there yet.

Mine did that after spilling some soda on it. Took a while to get back to normal.

How much faster are USB3 SSD's vs. USB3 traditional HD? Is it limited by USB3? I get about 100mbs with my USB3 Seagate 2TB drive. What jobs are you doing that require SSD speed?

This ad was about the Surface?? I wasn't paying attention. I also watched with the volume off. Multiple times. She's hot!

I use Photoshop, Premiere, and AfterFX mostly simultaneously. I would THINK that those require more CPU/RAM than the programs you listed. I usually have no problems.
