I use a tablet 90% of the time for internet browsi g but my laptop is still needed. I did use a surface pro 3 for a while, it was very close but too big to be a tablet and too small to be a laptop. The touch screen wjth a stylus was awesome though.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

I have the cheapest Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which doesn?t have any cooling fans and uses an SSD disc. Quick, dead silent, with the magnetic click-on keyboard which also doubles as screen protector. On my desk, I hook it up with one cable to a docking station with dual monitors and bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
It really is the best solution for me. I can fold it up, remove one cable and be out the door in one minute. It is a full Windows computer, with all programs and functionality and my desktop looks exactly the same, with all programs installed, whether I am home or on the road. Can clearly recommend it!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep, I love my Surface.I have the cheapest Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which doesn?t have any cooling fans and uses an SSD disc.

At this point size doesn't matter. You can hook up anything to a monitor, bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and it's all the same.Herschel Savage

You can get tablets that run Windows, but it's a bit clunky, especially when running "desktop" apps. One example is that when I load google.com with a standard browser, the virtual keyboard blocks half of the screen, including the search entry field. I can't see what I'm typing.
I agree that for dev purposes there's no question you'd need something with a real keyboard, and probably a decent screen too!Comment

depends on what you want, its a Chinese clone and comes with clone issues
Some of the advantages are, 6gb ram, 256gb harddrive, 3 full sized usb3 ports, and its those fullsized usb port's that's always made me buy Chuwi tablets, plug any keyboard and mouse in, swap info between devise etcComment

I couldn't live without a keyboard.
Just picked one of these up though.

And a mount for it on my kitchen island / desk

Primarily what I will use it for is email and skype, working in MS Word and doing stuff in a browser like Chrome. I would also like to use it as an e-reader and maybe watch some movies or TV shows on it.depends on what you want, its a Chinese clone and comes with clone issues

It won't get used a lot, maybe 3 or 4 times a month for a few hours.Comment
