Microsoft is looking to profit from the back-to-school shopping season by introducing a temporary price drop on all versions of the Surface Pro 3.
The discount cuts the price of the cheapest Surface Pro 3 model from $799 to $649. The entry level model has an Intel i3 processor, 64 GB of storage and 4GB of RAM.
The $150 discount is also being implemented on the $999, $1,299 and $1,549 versions of the device. The $999 variant has Intel Core i5 processor, 128 GB of storage and 4GB of RAM. The $1,299 version has an Intel i5 processor, 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the $1,549 variant has an Intel Core i7 processor, 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
The price cut goes up for the most expensive model in the entire Surface Pro 3 line, which costs $1,949. With the deduction, the model's price tag is reduced to $1,754, which represents a cost saving of $195. The high-end device has an Intel Core i7 processor, 512GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
The price cuts will last until September 3, so you still have about a month to purchase a Surface Pro 3 if you're so inclined. However, keep in mind that the keyboard cover for the device costs around $130 so you'll probably end up spending at least $780 for your new laptop/tablet hybrid. While the added expense slightly cuts the attractiveness of the deal, the device is still cheaper than competing devices. The entry level 11-inch Macbook Air costs $899.

Love my surface pro 2!
Gates will make up for it big time from Common Core
Wife has a Surface 2 and loves it. It’s an incredibly functional laptop replacement. My next “mobile” device will be Surface Pro 3.
WARNING: Here’s why like my Surface 3.
I’ve had it for a month or so and I like it with a capital like. I bought the keyboard cover but get along without it very easily most of the time. For instance, I am handwriting this message at my normal handwriting rate. It has learned how I write and keeps up with me... crossouts, writeovers and all. Other than that, it’s a great windows 8 PC with an iPod-like alter ego.
I’m not unhappy about the price drop. To me, it’s worth what I paid.
Two of my colleagues have them and love them. I find a screen that size a little small for full HD, myself - without adjustment the default font is tiny - but it’s a nice tidy package and travels well. When the ultrabook finally dies I might just take the leap. BTT
They are pretty kool and beat tablets...but cost a lot. Surface pros have real processors in them, not these tinker toy snapdragon processors
That’s Surface Pro 3
Still too expensive. You can buy a real computer for less.
Picking up mine around Christmas. Can’t wait. No more carrying a laptop and an Ipad. Very much looking forward to it.
Dear MS. it is a good product but it is not worth that price with all the FAR FAR FAR less expensive “same as” products.
