        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.

          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.

            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.

              I have both a tablet and a Macbook Air, and I prefer the Macbook. Speed aside, using it for work is just faster. I get 10 hours of battery life and its almost the same size as a large tablet anyway.

                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!

                      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 etc

                        I couldn't live without a keyboard.

                        Just picked one of these up though.

                          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.

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