Rich-M Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Be careful before placing this order...I decided to check other sites and noticed Amazon at $199 with free shipping. However that one is the more common 1.3 Ghz cpu and this one is 1.86 which can make a considerable difference. Want another $15 off from Tiger Direct go here and activate a $15 one time coupon, the first option coupon on the page: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/tigerdirect.com?c=6104439 So the whole deal become $209 with shipping!

And now you know the method to my madness!!!! Long ago going to a client home and trying to decide whether the client problem was the internet or their pc I started bringing a laptop. The problem was way too much to carry. But it saves so much time. Quote

FPCH Admin AWS Posted August 17, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted August 17, 2014 I've been using a Surface tablet for a while. I am in the market to buy a Surface 3 to replace the original RT version I have. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted August 17, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah, that's what my husband has, the original RT. Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
Rich-M Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 The original one didn't have Ms Office on it. Both of you do realize this Lenovo is 1/3 the price of a Ms Surface tablet with the same things onboard? It is a Windows 8.1 tablet that comes with Ms Office 2013 on it. Quote
