I like mine because I can write on it. I do a lot of mathematics and it’s either dragging a pad of paper and pens or a whole computer that does a load of other stuff with me. So the computer wins.
Also it’s the only thing that works on plane tables properly without being too big, at a stupid angle or utterly impossible.
- goosedragons 2y agoThis is why I like my Surface, plus it will run R, full fat TeX and Emacs unlike the iPad. The iPad is a nice piece of kit but I was constantly running into walls.
- cjk2 2y agoI just run R and TeX on my Mac where I have a 27" screen. I hate using portable devices for actual productivity work. iPad time is thinking time...
- goosedragons 2y agoYou just plug the Surface into the 27" screen. ;)
- cjk2 2y agoI have a much heftier Mac than any surface :)
