Any tips on best offers/best way to buy? I would usually just use Amazon but interested to hear if there is a better option.
Which Surface Pro 4 model did you have in mind? There are loads, at prices from about £700 to well over £2,000, depending on the processor and storage combination you choose. Currys seems to be running a deal at the moment to take 10% off the list price of most of their SP4s with a coupon code, which you can find when you visit the individual model pages. http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/micros...6-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-criteria.html That incidentally takes them down to the same price as Microsoft is offering students (if you can find one to activate the student discount) if you buy direct from them. https://www.microsoftstore.com/stor...94200?icid=Student-Cat-age_modG2_SP4_24112016 And are you 100% married to the idea of buying that particular product, or would a very light Ultrabook be an alternative? For instance, this one weighs just 910g http://www.johnlewis.com/asus-zenbo...-5-hd-screen-rose-gold/p3160544?sku=236731504
I purchased a new Surface Pro 4 about 2 months ago, it was around £800.00 + I got the fingerprint keyboard and cover its a great laptop to be honest. My sony vaio lasted well over 6 years but was totally fried by the time I got my new one.
