There is no discount available for the Core i3 entry level model. All the Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 models come preinstalled with Windows 10 OS.

Since Microsoft is running huge discounts on the Surface Pro 3, speculations are rife that the Surface Pro 4 will release in October this year, Paul Thurrott reported. As of this writing, there is no official confirmation on the existence of the Surface Pro 4. However, it is expected to release with high-end specs like Skylake chip and power-efficient battery.
