You may have heard the exciting news about the availability of Intel® Core™ i3 and i7 versions of Surface Pro 3 in the U.S. and Canada on Friday. Well, guess what? Microsoft really wants to help college students get their hands on a new Surface Pro 3 so that they can really go back to school with the best technology out there this school year!
Microsoft is offering $150.00 off the purchase or a Surface Pro 3 for college students between August 3 and September 6 to help them get the tablet that can replace a laptop for a great price. As the Surface Pro 3 retails for around $799, that’s a big help in making the purchase more affordable!
It’s the perfect classroom companion for any student: just click in one of the colorful Type Covers to turn out a term paper, or open a OneNote page with the click of the all-new Surface pen for hand-written notes or doodles!

It’s comparable to a Macbook Air!

Thanks for sharing this offer. My children’s school is a “bring your own device” web based school beginning in 6th grade and I am on the hunt for the best device for my oldest (entering 5th). I love my Surface and think she could really benefit from one too!
