So I have been thinking really hard about a new mobile device to get. I wanted to the ability to work with Microsoft Office (a necessity), so the android and iOS were out of the question. And no I don't like the work arounds with other apps. I needed the full versions of Excel and Word. Other software like Mathcad on my mobile device would be sweet. So after much trying at my local best buy and surfing the web for reviews I decided on the Surface Tablet Pro (currently typing on it). I have to say I am very impressed. However, the weight and dimensions of it throw me off. I was expecting it as every review mentioned its weight as a CON, but Im living it now. Aside from that one thing so far I just have to get familiar with Windows 8. And hopefully 8.1 helps. It is super fast!! The screen is Awesome! and really I mean Sweet Awesome. Im not a big fan of TV on my computers, but it is just so enjoyable to surf and catch some high end pics and videos on it.
Anyway, if you've read this far here is my biggest concern and I have 14 days to make peace. I ended up spending $1,005.00 in the end with the keyboard (type not touch). I realize that with that money I could afford a Mac Book Air, a little more and a Mac Book Pro. Writing on the surface tablet is really nice and I can see how it will come in handy once I begin my masters (fingers crossed), but really I didn't buy it for that reason. I was afraid of the AMD processor in the Fujitsu Q572 and for that reason alone I didn't go for it on New Egg for $672 shipped. The biggest thing for my mobile device is Office, and Web.
Any thoughts or tests you all think I should try. Its gonna be tough to let this baby go honestly. Oh, just FYI I subscribed to Office 365 and it is pretty cool stuff.
Thanks,
