Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 has just entered the market; they are offering Apple’s Macbook Air owners up to $650 to trade their Apple laptop and make the switch to the Surface Pro 3. But, only for the consumers who purchase the device at a Microsoft store in the U.S. or Canada, and the offer is valid until July 31, 2014. Users wishing to qualify Macbooks will receive a discount on the new Surface Pro 3 tablet, which is advertised as a high-tech go-between that blends the lightweight portability of tablets with the high functioning desktop capabilities of a laptop.
Released officially June 21, the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is slightly thicker than the iPad Air in its 36 inch magnesium case. The ClearType display boasts high-resolution at 2160×1440, approx. 50 pixel lead on competitors. With 8 GB RAM, this tablet-top does meet the specs called for to accommodate all of the multitasking and versatility needs of a desktop user in a package that contends with Mac’s iPad and Macbook technologies.
Users who trade in Macbooks will receive up to $650 off a new Surface Pro 3, and Microsoft hopes that this offer will help the broad base of loyal Apple consumers to make the switch to the Microsoft brand.
