    Can I go to jbhifi to do price match?

      No, they don’t do price match with coupons

    Should be i7!

    • Homr on 18/10/2022 - 15:09

      whats the difference in performance i5 vs i7?

      • corgicorgi on 18/10/2022 - 15:10

        Circa 10%

          I7 is a better option overall even though is 10% or almost negligible

              @zmcgr1: Because 7 is larger than 5 and marketing says that is gooder.

              • mrau on 18/10/2022 - 19:12

                @lunchbox99: Exactly. I find i5 devices I have better than i7, as they run cooler and have a longer battery life.

                • Chino Gambino on 18/10/2022 - 20:39

                  @mrau: Reminds me when Apple had i9 options for Macbooks, zero performance difference with i7 and i7 had practically no difference with i5 due to thermal throttling.

                  • fastnet on 18/10/2022 - 22:00

                    @Chino Gambino: This is not true. I've used both the i7 and i9 versions of the 16" MacBook Pro and the difference, although small is noticeable.

        5% ST and 7% MT. I was surprised that i7 doesn't have more cores/threads than i5 in this case, so it's purely marketing. Also surprised that 2.4/4.2ghz vs 3.0/4.8ghz clock difference yielded such little benchmark difference. Probably won't notice a difference on mobile workloads.

        The real choice is between 8gb vs 16gb of RAM, and you'll take whichever processor comes with your desired RAM.

    • thesmartone1125 on 18/10/2022 - 16:12

      i7 also throttles down due to more heat generated, and has slightly worse battery compared to the i5.
      Most people won't see any diff between an i5 or the i7, unless you need that 10% more CPU/ GPU performance.

      its not out yet

    without keyboard?

    • HolyCr4p on 18/10/2022 - 15:09

      Surface has no keyboard. You need to purchase it separately

  • Homr on 18/10/2022 - 15:09

    Not bundled with keyboard, no deal

    • drumrollplease on 18/10/2022 - 18:51

      …does it work with older versions ' keyboards hahah

  • Sleepycat3 on 18/10/2022 - 15:56

    Waiting until the keyboard bundle appears.
    Other than that, reasonable price. My Surface Pro 6 with keyboard bundle from 2019 was $1421, but that was a 256GB/8GB i5 model. So it comes pretty close once you add the keyboard and consider that this also comes with 16GB RAM which is good to have with Windows 10 & 11.

    Waiting for keyboard bundle

  • [Deactivated] on 18/10/2022 - 16:30

    Seems like an okay deal, the other branded laptop deals were $1,500 but had better specs I believe?Lenovo

    I spose $250 more is $250 more:/

    Don't forget, no microSD card slot.

    SSD is replacable though. A 1TB WD SN530 NVMe SSD is around 230 AUD.

  • bisaya on 18/10/2022 - 18:56

    How do these perform compared to a base14" MBP.
    I know OS are diff, just curious for general use + some light coding (learning)

    • TheBardsTale on 18/10/2022 - 19:18

      Those M chips that Apple have are much better

      • [Deactivated] on 18/10/2022 - 19:33

        How much better?

    • thesmartone1125 on 18/10/2022 - 20:06
      +2

      If I had to choose between the base MBP14" vs i7 SP8, I would go for the MBP14", my reasoning:

      1. Better screen, mini led 120hz pro motion.
      2. More ports.
      3. Better battery life.
      4. Plugged in vs battery, you'll get the same performance on the MBP14".
      5. Great speakers.
      6. Xcode if you're developing iOS apps and Xcode only runs on MacOS.
      7. Social status kek.

      Unless you really want a 2 in 1, and only have <$2k to spend, then the surface is a viable option. But if you can stretch the budget to a base model MBP14" ($2597) I'd say the MBP14" will age better than the SP8.

    • Trysaeder on 18/10/2022 - 20:35

      If it's just general use and coding then performance isn't really an issue for the CPUs in question.

      https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3830vs3793vs4104vs4922v…

      The 1135g7 is about the same as the 7700k, a 6 year old desktop CPU which is still snappy for your use cases.

      One's a tablet and the other is a laptop. If you want a pen then SP8. If you want strong processing power for stuff like video editing then MBP. Though base 14" MBP is $3k even on the edu store so it's a pretty different product. A more comparable product is the M1 Air for $1.5k on edu store.

  • zeomega on 18/10/2022 - 20:29

    The M chipset is faster with optimised applications. If you apple developed apps, it will give you a great user interface and much nicer experience than windows. However if u start using software that have not been optimised, it can get quite a bit slower vs windows.

  • RedCheeseGuy on 18/10/2022 - 20:46

    Is this the lowest for Surface pro 8 i7?

    Also, would surface pro 9 be cheaper on black friday so better wait for that.. How long before surface pro 9 reach these prices?

    • bindok on 18/10/2022 - 22:01

      Surface pro 9 was just released. Highly doutbful it will be on sale on Black Friday

      • Pentanol on 19/10/2022 - 18:07

        It's available for pre order and JB hi Fi, releasing Nov 8th

    Are the some price jacked or am I missing something?

    Microsoft® Surface Pro 8 i7/16GB/256GB Platinum(ebay.com.au) $1,631.15 / $1,619 (eBay Plus)
    Microsoft® Surface Pro 8 i7/16GB/512GB Graphite(ebay.com.au) $1,723
    Microsoft® Surface Pro 8 i7/16GB/1TB Platinum(ebay.com.au) $2,339

    For all these well over after code, max $300

    • Nargath on 21/11/2022 - 12:08

      Looks like the PLOCT17 code has expired.
      There's still an internal code on the listings direct from MS, but its only for $300.

      So either MS got the codes WAY wrong and were selling them for way cheaper, or we missed the better part of the deal :(
