I'm looking to buy a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and I want to know the difference between the i3 and i5 model as well as the processor difference. The price difference between the two is £200 so I don't really wanna buy the i5 version unless i need to in order to have a good experience with the Pro 3. Also I'm not a photo developer or anything I'm a student who will be using this as a tablet and mainly as a laptop for essays and write ups.
Difference between i3 and i5 processor?

Surface Pro 3 keyboard was annoying to me. No way I would use a 12" screen and thin no-feedback keyboard to write college papers.

For the reason you described, I wouldn't bother as you wouldn't notice a difference and I suggest you go for i3 purely for the price. The only time you will need i5 is if you are wanting to play graphic-demanding games. I5 is a better processor that i3 as it process fastest and cool down easily The difference is some features which is I doubt you will use and slightly higher clock. So Go for the i3.
