Optimum waiting time to get the best Surface Pro: 2 weeks (June 26)

[Spaniard]

Surface Pro is still my favourite tablet pc, Haswell ones have better battery life but I really don't need that so much. I'm starting to see 2nd hand cheaper Surface Pros, so this is my plan to reduce the risks: I'll wait 2 weeks until Microsoft's BUILD and...

a) Haswell Surface Pro presentation ---> buy it
b) No Haswell Surface Pro presentation ---> no Haswell Surface Pro soon, so buy 2nd hand cheaper Surface Pro

What makes you think a Haswell Surface Pro presentation will lead to it being available "soon"?

If past performance is anything to go buy it'll be available "in the coming months" which equates to 6-9 months in Microsoft time.

I had second thoughts about picking up the Surface Pro when it finally got here 2 weeks ago, but in the end, I didn't want to wait another month just to have a brand new device with no release date to wait on. It's too frustrating.

You're right, Microsoft time isn't Apple time. Here's Haswell MacBook Air, available worldwide now:
MacBook Air - Buy MacBook Air Notebook Computers - Apple Store - Apple Store (U.S.)

Probably I'll go b)

Yeah, I wouldn't expect a Surface Pro v2 anytime this year. Maybe 2014 Q1.

my guess that rt now the emphasis on the 26th will be on the smaller version of the pro or RT 7-8 inch and it will tie into the Xbox.
