JahStories Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 wow it seems a good upgrade so! 12" inches would be really a good improvement if they keep a low weight. but i think since it has different screen size that it's going to be a big update, not like the surfacepro 2, that's almost identical to the first. if it going to have the same specs of the macbookpro it's going to be a really powerful pro tablet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floflood Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 If the talks are true about 12,9" the Face-3 will be a 13 incher. That's pretty cool, i thought it will be a mini only. Let's see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 @CaleidoScope it's surely gonna be better for painting purposes, but it keep me liking the surfacepro more, cause as you said is (thegermanwordyouused) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too!!! But the SF3 would be an even bigger...espressione che significa letteralmente “maiale che depone uova, dà la lana ed il latte”. ...says google... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munakib Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I will grab the 8gb Ram 256GB SSD, provided we can get OSX on this baby. CONFIRM THIS NOW Jah or else...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleidosCope Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 come to me baby... yeah, 8GB/256GB - i7 ...i am into it... and screensize with no eyestrain... i'm lovin' it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munakib Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Okay just preordered SP3 256gb with 8gb ram, I hope you all have been doing the same cause I need you to hack it up. technically, an image of an existing sp2 running hackintosh should run on the sp3 because the hardware is almost the same except for the screensize no?

JahStories Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 it's probably gonna be easy to install osx... i think that guys at touchbase could write a working driver for touch in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleidosCope Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 TouchBase...just some Euros more for this "cheap" beast. If all the other stuff is not so "sophisticated"... HD5000? Yeah.. intel Iris. ...just feeling like a "betatester"... the SF2 user maybe too... NOW they positioned the Windows-Belowscreen-Key there where it cant hurt... hopefully they integrate something to switch it off by demand. MS changed the touch-pad, while "you cant see it" now... You`ll "see it" on the SF3 - feeling is another approach... they missed so far. Lets wait for the SF4 ... ... its just another 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think this would be a good idea... dsdt and ssdt needs to be patched...it could work, but vanilla is not strawberry. But with backups, nothing too loose...

munakib Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 yah, already canceled the pre-order - the same internals for a lighter machine, not worth it for now..... SP4 in 6 months then boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
