I'm talking about the Surface 3 I have. Not the Surface Pro 3.

 

You can get a Surface 3 with Windows 8.1 Pro already installed if you want.

I'm a bit confused, do you have the Pro or NON-pro with W8 Pro installed?

I dont care about the OS that it comes with as we have open license.

thx

According to my Surface 3, that's correct. WPA2 Enterprise with AES only.
Which if I remember correctly is because there was a serious flaw in the
TKIP implementation. At the time the fix/work around was to use AES as it
didn't have that flaw. I would question why they are still using TKIP.

 

So far my Surface 3 has performed flawlessly. I have the business model that
comes with Windows Pro 8.1, 4 GB RAM and the 128 GB SSD. I also have the
type keyboard and pen. It's been great for taking notes.

 

I only have two complaints so far. This is a personal preference. One, the
screen size. I like screen real estate. At home and work I can plug it into
a larger monitor. Two, sometimes I have to try touching a few times before
it works. Must be my large fingers.

 

I recommend the device for those that do not need the Surface Pro 3.

This is for one of our travelers so we're looking to save a bit $$ 
can anyone confirm if this is true?

>From MS Website;

I took the first unit back after two days because the display driver kept
crashing. The replacement unit usually worked, but every few days the touch
would stop working or the unit would lock up all together. The wifi driver
does not support WPA2 Enterprise with TKIP, so I simply cannot connect to my
work or school wifi. I returned the unit after the detachable keyboard
started freezing intermittently.
