I'm not sure anymore if we're talking about software/apps or ad-on devices  ;D

Anyhow, +1 for the Windows tablet, I purchased a Surface 3 and have a Surface Pro 3 on the way for the wife, those will replace my MacBook Pro's.

Do you like the surface pro 3? I was thinking about getting one... I like the new burgundy one and the one that flips to tablet style .

Work provided me with a Surface Pro 4. I love the convenience of it and so far it's functioned great. I'm not the typical use case though as I primarily use it to remote into my office tower. I'm only now trying to branch out and use it more as it was originally designed.

That said, I think any of the two-in-one type lightweight tablets would be just as handy since it's just a jump system for me.

Mine is a Surface 3, the 10.3" version with the intel Atom processor. So far I'm really liking it, it's a full version of Windows 10 so you don't have to rely on an app store to add apps. Admittedly I do not have much on my machine but so far it's been very fast and I love how it instantly switches from PC to Tablet mode. My wife's Surface Pro 3 should be arriving within a day or two, it has the intel i5, 4GB RAM, and 256SSD, and a 12.3" display. Reviews were very good, but the one downside is that the Type Cover is an extra cost and they're not cheap. Most people have said that if you're getting a Surface the Surface keyboard is a must have.

I agree. I almost exclusively use it with the keyboard.

I haven't quite decided yet if it's better to just fold the keyboard back or detach it and reattach it backward so the keys are facing inward against the back of the unit.

I typically just leave the keys facing out. The keyboard disables when it's folded all the way back so I just leave it as is.

For those who remember, I bought the Samsung Slate 7. It has served me really well while on the go, but I think the time has come for a Surface pro.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

The furthest I'm going any time soon is to the pub.

Bon voyage, Alfonz!

Have fun, Alfonz.

I'm listening to an old Annie Nightingale show.
