caleidosCope Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 @JahStories: same here... just thinking about to get a SF3 just for OSX and keep the SF1 for the Win8 part... but what is about the "milkbearing....". ...noooo... if i will buy a SF3, its gone be hacked. Up to now, i am really fine with my SF1 too. Not checked the "borders" yet, working-horse at its best. And the looks of the fellows, if you boot up OSX...next question "...is this fake?!" - NO. Its a hack OSX-WIN-Tablet - best of both worlds. Did you see (on the Surface-Facebook-channel) the congrats for 30 Years, iMac??? - An iMac with running Win8. We should congrat there, for the Surface running OSX. - ill do it.

rfic Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 hope sp3 will use some new wifi chip supported by osx BTW, some news comments the cpu for sp3 is old and intel will release a new cpu family end of the year...

zer0t Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What are the thoughts on OS X installation versus surface 2? This components look like they'd be pretty well supported by OS X. Core series CPUs, Intel graphics. I didn't see which wifi card it was using and whether or not it was n. Since I have no current surface, and really want a tablet, this may be a good choice. I was think 8 gb 256 mb box. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/297871-rumors-surface-pro-3/page/2/#findComment-2021467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 it's surely gonna need: a patched kernel, the gfx fix fantomas posted in the first page with the right X value a new driver from touchbase (to get pen & touch working) And we still need to know all the other devices.... we need to know every dev_id and prod_id to understand what could work or not.

zer0t Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 With the latest OS X hasn't this been included? The MacBook Air processor is a haswell. Actually hasn't haswell been supported since 10.8.5?

jape Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 According to http://www.anandtech.com/show/8037/microsoft-surface-pro-3-hands-on-display-performance-preview it's another Avastar, so no Wi-Fi. I think I'm skipping this iteration because of the lack of Wacom, which puts it on the likes of the Dell Venue Pro 11.

zer0t Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So you think the venue pro 11 is a better choice the surface 3? Specs on size are close and it weighs less. I'm less concerned about the pen but I'm curious if the touch will work.

I'm less concerned about the pen but I'm curious if the touch will work. For a cheaper price you will get something that is less powerful, has similar battery life, similar stylus technology, and replaceable batteries (which is a plus!). Some of the editions (the ones using a Ralink wireless card) will probably even be out-of-the-box OS X compatible.
