Microsoft is getting rid of what little it should have left in stock from the Surface Pro 4 after months of being discounted thanks to the debut of the new model, and its latest offer can be a great occasion for those who are looking for a high-end Windows tablet but they are trying not to spend more than one euro than necessary, because the last promotion leaves us in a pack with up to 500 euros discount.
Great deal for Surface Pro 4 on models with an Intel Core i5 processor
The bad news is that the starting price is high since the models on offer are not the cheapest, but those that already arrive with Intel Core i5 processor, in addition to the fact that the tablet is not sold alone, but it will be included in a pack with the keyboard cover. The good news is that most demanding users tend to ignore models with an Intel Core m3 processor, in any case, and that the keyboard is an accessory that the vast majority would think to buy anyway.
Taking all this into account, the opportunity to get hold of the version with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage capacity for only $900, it is certainly interesting, but it is probably even more interesting to get the version with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage capacity per $1000, since this jump in configuration is normally going to cost us much more than 100 euros. To all this we must add the 100 euro student discountBy the way, it does apply to this pack.
Is it worth investing more and getting the new model?
Of course, in this type of case the question that always arises is whether or not it may be worth buying an old model, although “old” when we talk about devices of this type, however, it is always a bit relative and depends the type of user we have. Although there are some other minor improvements, in any case, you have to know that the fundamental difference is that the latest Surface Pro It comes with seventh generation chips, and it is not only more powerful but also has more autonomy.
In any case, the price difference It is also important, and it must be appreciated that the extra investment we have to make is considerable: even if we settle for the basic model with Intel Core m3 and add the keyboard (which, we insist, is something that most will need), the purchase puts us in more than 1100 euros. If we also lean towards models with Intel Core i5, the total amount will go above 1300 euros.
Other even more affordable options
For those of whom 900 euros is still too high a figure, it must be said that we still have some cheaper options. For example, if we are one of those who for some reason we will not need a keyboard, we can go for the model with Intel Core m3 for the Surface Pro 4 that is being sold for $750 (800 euros if we want it in pencil). We can also buy the models with Intel Core i5 without a keyboard, but it compensates us because we would be paying more than with the pack.
And if we are open to considering other models, it is worth remembering that the first Matebook is on sale at Amazon, and you can get right now for 550 euros, but in this case we are talking about a sixth generation Intel Core m3 processor and we must bear in mind that not everyone adapts well to using their keyboard, so it cannot be ruled out that we need to get another one.
