One its cheaper for the 13" 128gb $999 model. Two it's a full on laptop versus a tablet. Three it's running OSX not shitty windows 8.

It has a better keyboard. Runs OS X.
But, if you can stomach Windows, the SP3 is much better because of the screen resolution alone.

This thread will be a shite show.
Just choose the OS you're most comfortable with.

I will give you one reason:
"TRACKPAD"
Windows Trackpads:
MacBook Trackpads: Magic, smooth a butter, reliable, repeatable, whatever else you want to use describe it...
The Trackpad on the Surface Pro 3 is even worse than regular Windows latpops because of its small size and plastic construction. I hope they really fix the trackpad on the Surface Pro 4 to the point where you can use it without an external mouse 100% of the time, much like you can a MacBook today.

There is no comparison...Surface all the way.

All depends on the OS you are comfortable with

I need to replace my current laptop badly...love my ipads but can't see myself ditching windows...will probably end up with another Lenovo.

For perspective:
I use two cell phones daily for business (one for domestic and one for international). I prefer my iPhone 6+ over my HTC One M8 both for easy intuitive UI and for size.
I also have a Mac Air and a SP2.. And an SP3. I use all 3 at various times/reasons less so for SP2 now that I have SP3. For business use, SP3 is far superior for my needs. It's easier to use and offers more of "what I need".
I'm not a "fan boy". I respect other people's opinions until they prove to be idiots. From my perspective, Mac doesn't compare to SP3... Especially if you travel a lot for business. And yet, I prefer iPhone over Android. Go figure.

That's like trying to convince you that the sky is Green.

As someone who has both, (air for personal and SP for work) it really depends on how you intend to use it. I personally like the air better. One thing that would deter me from spending my own personal money on the SP3 is the buyback value down the line. With the Air, in two years I can still get around half of what I paid for it on the market, which helps with upgrades. The value of the SP is more than disappointing. Just my 2 cents.

The bottom line is - Windows sucks. Period. I have worked and played with both operating systems for 20+ years - not even close.
The Air's display sucks though. Just get a 13" MBP - very light and looks amazing - it's what I carry with me everywhere I go.
One last thing, Gaming is for my iPhone and my PS3/4. Computer gaming is so 90s. I actually work on my computer.
