Surface Pro 3

^I found the same thing, where it is so versatile, I find myself unsure how to use it sometimes. Should I touch the screen? Use the track pad? Use the keyboard?

Slowly but surely I'm figuring out how I like to use it best.

Does anyone have any suggestions of some games that work well on it with the touch interface? I got "Papers, Please" which works great, but I'm looking for some more as this thing will be my airplane companion quite a bit.

Darkest Dungeon works great with the touch screen.

I thought that I would bump this as my industry is (already!!) coming out of the dark ages and I can have clients sign documents on a tablet instead of all of the paper. I am debating buying a SP3, but I guess the SP4 is due out soon. Couple questions for users already: A) Should I wait for the new one? I don't need this for anything really fancy, just some PDFs and signatures and a few trading programs which aren't going to be a lot to run. (B) If I did go with the SP3 how much of a difference will I see with the 8GB RAM as opposed to the 4GB? Is it something worth paying that couple hundred bucks for, or basically unnecessary?

I have no idea on question 2, as I've only used the 8GB.

On the question 1, though, while I never run into applications other than games that overly tax the processor on the SP3 (i5 version), battery life still isn't the greatest. As the SP4 is expected to have the newest Intel chip, if you can wait, I'd say wait.

I'm waiting for the SP4 myself for a work asset refresh. As good as the SP3 is, if I'm going to finally get a new rig, I'll tough it out for a bit to get the latest and greatest.

Agreed. I managed to hold off upgrading from the SP1 to the SP2, and jumped right to the SP3 as soon as it came out. Very glad I did.
