These are just my thoughts, feel free to disagree with them and explain your own thoughts, or post your own list below:
Pros to an upgrade:
Pros to an upgrade:
- higher resolution
- thinner machine
- slight spec bump due to newer i5 (I have an original sp2)
- slightly better battery
- Apparently they're incredibly buggy (I don't want to be a beta tester like I was for the SP2)
- I have a power keyboard, would be awkward on a SP3, might not even be compatible
- They're much bigger than the SP2 (biggest downside for me)
- It would cost around $800 even after selling my 256GB SP2
- i5 to newer i5 is pretty horizontal, I need better specs for an upgrade
- I don't know. I would wait for the i7 version to justify the upgrade (so that I'm going from i5 to i7 instead of i5 to slightly newer i5). The massive amounts of bugs with the SP3 scare me, I went through hell getting my SP2 to work properly, and it still even has its flaws. The price really annoys me, an expensive upgrade. But the screen resolution and lighter machine do appeal to me...
