I love my original SB and have been tempted over the years to get the performance base or the 2, but it serves my purpose pretty well. I'd love to have more power for development, and maybe better graphics for the road, but it isn't my primary development machine. I've also been hoping over time that they would upgrade the storage to faster parts, but that doesn't seem to be happening over 4 years in.
The 2 came out when I was between jobs so I thought it an unimportant luxury to upgrade to it, but now that I'm gainfully employed I've been looking at possible upgrades again.
Last month they had some really big sales on the SB2 and I was tempted again to upgrade, but it seemed like it was likely to be a pre-announcement sales promotion designed to clear out the inventory of an "old model".
Today they announced several surface devices, including some that won't ship until next year, but no update on a new SB. My crystal ball appears to be way out of whack.
What are people's thoughts on the possibility that there is still an SB3 coming, but they just didn't announce it at this particular event? Is that out of the question now?
