Can't really compare that device to the Surface Pro. Pro is the fastest device of its kind.

Well, there's only so much room and they are choosing to push the older RT and the two newer models. It's not hard to find if you drill down once.
Went and checked out the local Best Buy. They had plenty in stock, but with a pricetag of $679. Apparently they will honor the $599 price from the website if you show it to them. Didn't pull the trigger yet, but thinking about it.
Also, the local MS store is showing the same $679 price for the 128GB model.

Not a fan out buying outdated technology. I'll wait till it drops to the $400 range if I really wanted one. Great tablet but I have no need for them, I hate carrying shit around in public.
How is this a better deal compared to the Surface RT with 64 GB that sold for $200 on BF?
How is it even comparable? It's a completely different type of device for a different type of user.
But not a clearance item, so no extra clearance discount right?
I didn't think there was that much of a difference between the 2 tablets. But in video card analogy, maybe it's more like a 7750 vs. 7950?
Its like a 7750 that can only play a few games from the last 2-3 years as long as they are running directX 11 vs a 7950 that can play any game ever created. And solid works, and autoCAD, and just about anything else that can be run on an i5+on chip GPU. So getting a $400 discount on that is a pretty good deal considering the 7750 was only a $250 discount on the biggest discount day of the year.
Anyone in the market who would not be buying this years newest and highest level laptop should really jump on this deal. I doubt they will drop another $100 over the course of this year. They will then be discontinued and old stock bought back by MSFT and re-purposed to a developing country or schools as a charity of some sort. Just a guess, but they will not have stocks of surface 1s sitting in back rooms at BB when Surface 3s are being released end of next year.

No it's more like comparing a 7950 to a turnip. They are not the same.

Not even close to being the same.
For $100 more I'd choose the Haswell based Tap 11.
It's much thinner, lighter, longer battery life (Haswell) includes keyboard

That model at that price point runs a Pentium CPU.
Correct, that coupon didn't work when I tried it tonight.
Yep. 2 cores w/no HT, probably about half the GPU power. Not really worth $100 bump, even if it includes a keyboard.
They (cowboom which is owned by BBY) have this for $466 used w/ coupon code NUEVA20

Huh, when i click the link here it does give me the page that looks like it was pulled. the link from slickdeals still works though.. I think [h] is messing up the link, try this.
