If you are a student or educator, Microsoft has a nice promotion running for you as you prepare for the upcoming school year. Right now through the Microsoft Store website you can get a Surface Pro 3 for as low as $650 US or £575 BPS. The discount is only available through the online store and proof of being in an education facility is required.
The student discounting represents $150 US off the regular price of the Surface 3, which usually start at $799 for the 64GB/4GB RAM/ i5 Intel Processor units.
The discount on the Surface Pro 3 appears to apply across the product lineup regardless of configuration. That means even if you
