[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 15598921, member: 45161"] I've been super happy with my Surface Pro 4 i7. I do heavy graphics work for a living and it's kept up flawlessly with that. At home and traveling I use it as a laptop, when I get to work I hook it up to a [URL='https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/accessories/surface-dock']Surface Dock[/URL] and use the free program [URL='https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35460']Mouse Without Borders[/URL] to control it with my desktop's keyboard and mouse and split screen on my main monitors. During meetings and on the sofa I use [URL='https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/products/adapters/wireless-display-adapter-2/p3q-00001']Microsoft's wireless display[/URL] on whatever monitor/tv is closest to extend my desktop. When I get off the track I wirelessly download lap data off my Mychron data logger for analysis. It's actually 33 seconds faster than the latest Macbooks at downloading that data and I can do so in tablet mode straight from the driver's seat (not enough room for the keyboard when I'm in the seat). Because it's an actual desktop the tablet functionality is actually worth a darn. I've yet to use a tablet that's not infuriating to simply surf the internet with. The only downside for you is that it's slightly smaller than 15". The upside is that it eliminates the need for two devices. [/QUOTE]
