The problem I see is that you get pushed into the above the base config that starts at 1500 bucks. So price it out with the next step up from 128GB.
i have decided to buy the Microsoft Surface. it will be my first own computer. but i am confused about which model to choose.
> i 'll use it a lot. 14+ hours a day.
> mostly, i watch movies, play songs and online video games.
> i also play old, softcore PC games like PvZ, Age of Kings, Need for Speed Carbon etc.
> i 'll rarely use printer and scanner.
> i might also use CorelDRAW and Photoshop on the new computer. but it is optional. if the computer is not powerful enough, i'll compromise and won't install CorelDRAW on it.
so, here are a few things that i am looking for:
long battery life, fast performance (but not the fastest), affordable (price as low as possible), good quality (so that i don't have to replace it for at least 2 years or more), nearly 80GB of usable storage.
it MUST BE better than my bro's classic laptop which has Intel Core i3-3217U , 4 GB memory
Which Surface would fit my needs?
Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4
