Microsoft has begun and an Intel Core m3 processor. It's priced at $799, compared to the standard model's $999 price, and is only available in the platinum color configuration. Windows Central reports: The Intel Core m3 spec is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB Storage. This is definitely not a high-end model of the Surface Laptop, but it's still a premium one, with the same Alcantara fabric and high-quality display found on other Surface Laptop SKUs. Microsoft offers an Intel Core m3 model of the Surface Pro priced at $799 also, however that SKU doesn't come bundled with a keyboard or pen. At least with the Surface Laptop, you're getting a keyboard and trackpad in the box, so perhaps the Intel Core m3 Laptop is going to be the better choice for many. If you're looking for a straight laptop by Microsoft, that is. Some other specs include a 2256 x 1504 resolution display, Intel HD graphics 615, 720p webcam with Windows Hello face-authentication, Omnisonic speakers with Dolby Audio Premium, one full-size USB 3.0 port, Mini DisplayPort, headphone jack and Surface Connect port. The device measures in a 12.13 inches x 8.79 inches x 0.57 inches and weighs 2.76 pounds. I did have a choice. I opted to upgrade as soon as it was available. If the TD Bank representative is not familiar with Banktivity, ask them to enable your account for “Direct Connect services for Quicken 2015 for Windows” – Banktivity and Quicken both use the same OFX protocol. I am also aware of the LTSB releases of Windows 10, and so can load one of those if I so chose, giving myself full control over which Windows 10 release I'm on. Beyond that I have researched Linux distributions which will work with my Surface Pro 4, and can switch away if I tire of Windows itself. The specs of your 2010 Mac Mini are probably about on par with my slightly older Core 2 Duo Vista/Dell Inspiron gaming rig. It just has a slig. Thing is, they aren't really getting insane battery life compared to alternatives. Most of the time your processor is at or near idle (especially in their intended use), at which point these are really not much more efficient than anything else. Then when you do need the power they have to ramp up further for a longer time period, while something faster will ramp up, get the work done then go back to idle. The end result is that while they look good on paper, they are not really that much better in real wor. Aren't m3's terrible CPUs? This looks like a complete ripoff when you can buy similarly spec'd laptops for less than 500. I'm guessing it's part of Microsoft's balancing act to not piss off the OEMs too much. They'll do 'boutique' high-end convertibles/laptops and oddities like the Surface Studio, if they start hitting the value segment hard it's all out war. I think they're just putting it out there for the fools that think a Microsoft PC running a Microsoft OS is somehow better, if they got most the tooling set up and get a good margin it's basically free profit. And they can maybe up-sell you on a Surface Pen, Surface Dock. For comparison, I purchased a 12' 'netbook' back in 2012 brand new for $300. Everything is very easily upgradable in it (1 screw opens the bottom door, allowing access to RAM, HDD, CPU). I pulled a pair of 4GB RAM sticks out of the dead laptop it was replacing, so it is running decently on 8GB now. It came with 320GB HDD, that I've considered replacing with a SSD. It also still has wired gigabit ethernet. It is only a dual-core Celeron CPU, but then again, looking at the M3? The performance isn't that very far off. So really, the only thing this new surface has over my now 6 year old netbook is USB3, a better screen, and DisplayPort instead of HDMI. That's it for more than 3x the cost. Oh also, my netbook was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for free, so none of the limitations of Windows 10 S. Base specs between a Celeron and a Core M3 are similar, but I am very confident that the Core M3 can toast a similarly spec'd Celeron.
