For what it's worth, there's now a promo where you can trade an Air in for a new Surface.

The problem with deals like that is they can sell them for more used privately. I sold my wife's iPhone 4 for $400 a year ago. Its crazy what people pay for used apple kit. I could understand it if they were a higher quality superior product but they are made in the same factory's the samsung, Nokia, windows phones are made. My surface pro prob only worth $300 2 years old even though it blows the air away in features and what it does.

Aint as light weight or slim as the Surface pro. There's really no comparison between the two. The surface pro destroys the Air

WEIGHT:
Surface Pro 3 / 800g (+295g TypeCover=1095g)
Macbook Air 11 / 1.08kg

RES:
Surface Pro 3 / 2160*1440
Macbook Air 11 / 1366*768

THICKNESS:
Surface Pro 3 / 9.1mm (4.8mm TypeCover=13.9mm)
Macbook Air 11 / 17mm

BATTERY LIFE (OFFICAL):
Surface Pro 3 / 9H
Macbook Air 11 / 9H

More usable apps on the surface, and its also a tablet- AIR is not. It currently has no touch screen support- Its not usable as a tablet form- hey, can I sketch? Well, not without a mouse.

What if Im doing a walk through- can I take a pic and annotate it? Eh, again, doable, but think about the work flow process.

Will it last me though the day?

how easy is it to do a presentation? Can I flip the screen? Show clients? what if they want to flip back and forth? Now they have to use a mouse.

If I hadn't gotten the samsung note 10.1 as a gift, I most certainly would have gotten a surface.

Use both then come back and let us know if you agree.

Buy the Surface if you like Windows. The Mac OS is based on UNIX and syncs with other Apple products like your iPhone or or office computer.
If I take a photo of a job it automatically transfers to my office computer.
Emails and texts work the same way.

It does the same thing on windows with my apple devices. its a myth that you need an Apple system to do this. its called iCloud control panel if I remember correctly. Anything stored on the cloud is available on my windows system exactly how it is on OSX.

Again use both like a few of us have and come back and let us know what you think.
