The price may seem rather high compared to say a Ipad, but its hard to compare ( see below) As for storage, it can have MORE than a Ipad if you go to each manufactures site --Ipad =128GB & Surface 3 = 512GB Ipads start at 16GB and max out at 128GB, Surface start at 64GB and max out at 512GB 6022 So having more storage and a larger Screen ( Surface) will of course cost more. Just tried to compare actual prices, BUT on the Apple site and several other resellers I cant find anywhere that allows you to select 64 or 128GB, in NZ currency and the Surface doesn't go as low as the iPad. :xmouth: |

| 1387939 | 2014-11-10 20:32:00 | I like the Idea of a windows tablet after trying to get android to play nice with my shared network files. Yeah you can do it but a windows tablet would just work. The price totally puts me off though, I have a normal laptop I use instead. I have decided a laptop is still better anyway. It does look like a good device though and I'm sure I'd like it if it wasn't so expensive. |

Yep swings and roundabouts :) the Surface has full size USB ports, so they can be handy, it can also be purchased with a cover that's a keyboard as well. ( The ipad has the same.) One of my customers brought a fancy blu-tooth keyboard that's capable of connecting to PC's, Android and iPads-- nice device - damn expensive though. |

Definitley recommended. I have surface pro 1, 2 and now 3 and for sure with the size difference, stand, battery and also the keyboard Microsoft have made leaps and bounds making a fantastic computer/tablet |
