speculation :
PCI-E SSD, fanless for some model, longer 'standby' hours and 50g or so lighter.

Wondering whether the exchange rate price adjustment will remain for SP4 Thinking that the SP3 might get a bump down as clearance to near pre-adjusted price and SP4 will be existing SP3 pricing. When the S3 first came out, the gap between S3 and SP3 was pretty narrow. Seems the S3 came out taking higher exchange rate into consideration while SP3 had not. Now SP3 seems unjustifiably high. $1569 for the i5/256GB is in the X1 Carbon price range and for a niche product trying to gain mind/market share, you'd think being price competitive would be advantageous. Surface Pro KB for $160 is priced so poorly.

I am thinking it will remain unless the loonies strengthens by the time the SP4 is released and priced.frugalcanuck wrote: ↑Wondering whether the exchange rate price adjustment will remain for SP4 Thinking that the SP3 might get a bump down as clearance to near pre-adjusted price and SP4 will be existing SP3 pricing.

size, weight mainly, probably power as well. speed is a non issue to me, but added bonus in this case.glassandmonocle wrote: ↑What is the advantage of this in the real world? Honest question. I don't think SATA III is bottlenecking most consumer SSDs.

Not proprietary, native PCIE at 4x data rate. My 2014 rMBP 13" came with a PCIE 2x SSD. I bought a 512 GB SSD off eBay that was taken from a new Mac Pro, and low and behold it worked at 4x just like in the Mac Pro. 950.6 MB/s write 917.8 MB/s read according to Blackmagic Disk Speed Check.glassandmonocle wrote: ↑How is the Macbook Pro SSD getting supra-normal consumer-level performance? Is it proprietary and specially programmed to work efficiently with the system?
In any case, to your point, touche.

I hope the newer Synaptic stylus is slightly better. I wish there were AAAA Eneloops but there aren't and the price on amazon.com are 1/2 of what they are on amazon.caKevC wrote: ↑I really want one. One Note + Stylus changed my life. I love having access to all my notes everywhere. Right now I'm using a Dell Venue tablet with a Synaptic digitizer and it's alright, but it eats AAAA (hard to find) like nothing. I tried the S3/SP3 in a Microsoft Store and the N-trig digitizer is a million times better! Now I want one so bad ... I think I'm gonna wait to see what the SP4 is like. I have an i7/16gb laptop for Solidworks/etc so this will be primarily a note-taking device, so I think I'll be okay with the S3 ...

Financials is correct but the drive is mislabeled as eMMC on the packaging when it was confirmed several times over at tabletpcreview that it has a 64 GB Sandisk X110.Financials wrote: ↑Intel® Core® M-5Y10a
