I owned a Surface Pro. Surface form factor is not fun. It’s impossible to pop it open quickly to write down a thought or squeeze in work in a moving vehicle without some body contortions. It’s ironically less portable for hacking than a laptop because you need more stable surface area to actually use the keyboard and display at the same time! It’s a perilous balancing act to use it on an economy tray table - and forget using it on a bumpy bus without a table.
I would only recommend if you will spend >70% of your time using the computer as a touchscreen tablet, or it’s otherwise critical for your use case.
- jacknews 5y agoAs above, I think a screen cover with hinges, so it can lock open like a laptop, and perhaps magnets or velcro to stop your keyboard sliding around on the 'cover' part, would solve all of this. For quick todos or notes, the on-screen keyboard.
