Aligns with my experience, Surface 3 Pro replaced my MacBook Pro and iPad air last year and this year I've added a Sony Z3 compact 8" android tablet - which is not an "inexpensive android" device, but it is waterproof, ridiculously light and waterproof. Love it, no interest in going back. Not sure what I am going to do with iPhone 5S... Easy to leave Apple at this point, especially with the mess they made of iTunes.

- dade_ 11y agoI've been using many different tablets since they came out (iOS, Android, BB, Windows). I found that a large tablet is critical for productivity and I agree that 10" is the minimum, but it is also too small for me. I also found that thin 8" tablet is perfect for ereading, whether magazines, novels, Web browsing, videos. However with the very high resolution display, it is also handy for light productivity, I can use it to ssh or tunnel xwindow into my debian boxes, review Office documents, and learn Spanish with duo lingo. Ever fall asleep and drop a Surface on your face? Microsoft has all but abandoned the smaller than 10 inch tablet (no longer in the Microsoft stores) and I could find any high end windows tablets in that category. Of the metro/universal apps, the ones I need are not available and over the last few years many aren't being updated, lack features and are now disappearing from the Windows app and store. And with windows/Android, I can easily copy files between the devices and they both support Miracast (eg. Microsoft wireless display adapter). Long answer, hopefully useful.
