Worth noting: the SP3 has an aspect ratio that looks more like an iPad than an SP2.

Boy, that's the opposite of what I was hoping for. The SP2 is great but is too large and heavy--sounds like this is thinner, but I'd bet it ends up heavier at the end of the day edit: That aspect ratio change is nice, though.

Guesses on price? Must be $1000+ unless it's something like 64GB SSD and 4GB RAM. However, I might go for a Surface 3 if it's got the same screen, RT, and is like $400.

New kickstand angle: Honestly I don't get the point of this; you could get basically the same effect by leaving it flat and angling your legs up a little.

This seems like a good product to ensure there's a lot of cheap used SP2s on the market soon.

Feeling that pang of regret at buying the SP2 8GB a month and a half ago now. The SP3 looks glorious.

I was on the WPCentral feed but the comments infuriated me and I was already way behind on the buffering so I decided to stop watching it. The SP3 looks nice but I have a feeling it will be out of my price range. If they come up with a Surface Mini, however...

Surface Mini would almost certainly be RT, unless they've finally given up the ghost on that stupid idea and stuck a bay trail processor in it.

Point taken  Interesting stuff going on with the pen -- click it to wake directly to OneNote; click again to sync to OneDrive; double-click while in camera mode to take a picture and send it directly to OneNote to be noted upon; double-tap stuff in browser to send THAT to OneNote. Pretty good device integration. (Also preorders start tomorrow, base price is $799 for i3 version)

So it's over, right? Maybe the lack of a Surface 3 means they're going to get rid of RT by the time the next iteration comes out.

Yeah, looks like RT is dead. All the rumors were that this was supposed to be a surface mini reveal, with maybe a refreshed pro on the side. Instead it was all surface pro 3.

Goddamnit, launch is June 20th. I'm going on a vacation June 18th - 22nd and was really hoping I could snag one of these before I left to use on the trip.

I'm guessing since Surface Mini was supposed to launch last year that they possibly decided to scrap it in order to not compete with OEMs. There are quite a few 8" bay trail tablets out there and SP3 certainly has OneNote stuff people would expected from the mini.

In a non SP3 related arena, something is odd with my SP2 mic. In both Hangouts and Skype, I'm being told I have an echo, like I'm in a concrete tunnel. I've mucked with the gain and mic volume settings to no avail. I have no case or screen protector. Are there some better drivers out there for it? This is frustrating coming from the Macbook Air, which was flawless.
