Which Surface Pro?

[Hard-Drive]

I'm looking to buy a Surface Pro. Reasons as follows:

-I only have a work PC, so all of my personal docs are on that. Work are fine with that but I want my own
-I had a Surface Pro 4 with a previous employer and loved it
-My iPad is ancient (pre-lightning connector) and is glacially slow
-I love the portability of the Surface Pro
-I already have a dock and pen kicking around

Which one should I buy? Use would be general home PC stuff, documents, internet, Sonos control etc. Perhaps also the odd game, flight sims or something, but I'm really not fussed about stellar gaming performance.

I want the magnetic keyboard style, and I'd like to be able to tether to my phone for 4g internet access if needed. I'm also happy to but refurbished, although I'm wary of buying "second hand" as such as I think it's just a bit risky.

Any thoughts on what to go for? Thanks in advance.

I can't help with most of your questions but I just received an email from Costco and the Surface Pro 6 with i7, 8Gb Ram and 256Gb SSD is a 'Special Buy' at £999.99.

A quick Google seems it is pretty good (comparative) value.

i5 and as much RAM as you can afford to help future proof it.

Take a look at svp.co.uk

They sell a lot of ex-demo kit, including Surfaces.

I've bought a couple times from them and been very happy with my purchases.

I remember them start out selling blank disks when cdwriters were a thing, ive ordered a fair bit from them with no issues.

Heads up.

If you want a Surface Pro 6, Microsoft has some special deals from 21/8 to 27/8 on the i5s. Think Currys might have similar deals.
