I have an i7 SPro 3 with the detachable keyboard. Seems preferable to the fixed keyboard in the new Surface Laptop.
The Surface Laptop is $600+ more then my new ASUS laptop.
I have 256gb ssd drive and i5 and 8gb ram and can add 32gb total and I was also able to add a 1tb hard drive in the extra drive bay. I have a dvd drive too. 1920 x 1080 screen resolution and 15.5” screen. Comfortable viewing. 3 usb ports.
The Surface Laptop has a touch screen. Higher resolution 2256 x 1504 (odd) Program buttons would be too small to use comfortably. 1 usb port, no dvd drive.
I am willing to save $600+ dollars.
