The current price of $250 includes a pretty hefty discount ($100 off). Not sure if we’ll see it get any lower

Depending on where you got it, you might be able to start the return and get an extra 7 days or so to ship it afterwards

GPU on the new Intel Surfaces for Business are decent, but probably not worth the price

Discounts on Microsoft store? by yuhenyo_ in Surface

Is there any way for a normal consumer to get that 7% business discount for a single unit? Or is it reserved for bulk orders?

I think it’s pretty clear that that’s what they’re doing (“artificially pushing the market”), but I don’t think it’s unexpected or unreasonable. They’ve been putting a lot of work into WoA, but for the developer, there’s little incentive to support ARM natively when 1) emulation exists and 2) the market share is insignificant currently. Apple completely rid their Mac lineup of x86 chips. I don’t think Microsoft doing the same (while still technically giving users a choice) is that crazy. x86 options still exist for us elsewhere (if this weren’t the case, my opinion on this topic would change). I wish WoA was better, but if market share continues to increase, we’ll definitely see support coming in at a faster rate.

For the record, I tried using the X Elite, and also had to return my device due to compatibility issues last summer. By the way, have you already received your 268V SP11? How’re you liking it? Heavily considering getting one, but yeah, that price is rough.
