GreyFox7 : Its he, thanks, malberttoo : Yes Surface Pro 2, after i found out the cpu had changed to the 4300u(1.9ghz to 2.5ghz with 2.9ghz turbo) i gave up and bought a 2, no loss in performance. and it fits in all my ipad sleeves :D Thought i would update this so anyone else interested in a...

Hi All, I purchased a Surface Pro 2 i5 8Gb 256Gb $1367 - Lot number 1416 This resulted in having the 4300u processor and pretty much a Surface pro 3. Just missing res, screen size, stand, thermal and instant go, definitely not missing weight though :) but the unit is 260g lighter than the...

I just finished reading http://surfacegeeks.net/surface-pro-3-and-the-team-that-built-it.html seems like the surface team is trying to be active, Asus left all us EP121 users to put up with it. The bios update that killed our tablets with throttling was released 2012/10/30 and no attempt was...

Thanks, but are you recomending the SP2 or SP3? the main issue im trying to avoid is throttling.
