Had one issued for work. Absolutely hated working on it. Though that was probably more a mismatch with work requirement (heavy excel use + teams = deathly slow)

Had one issued for work. Absolutely hated working on it. Though that was probably more a mismatch with work requirement (heavy excel use + teams = deathly slow). A lighter OS plus lighter use could be fine.
- rtpg 2y agoIt's unfortunate because I found that the Surface Pro "expensive" models are gerat, but the lower end really can't handle much of any workflow (dreaded latency spikes) and it leads to loads of people just having a middling impression of a product that theoretically could capture a lot of the high end Windows market IMO
- Havoc 2y agoYeah I liked the polish on them. I don’t recall which one it was. The mid range i5 I think. This was beginning of covid so IT just issued whatever they could get regardless of suitability. But yeah gigantic formula heavy excels kill even desktops let alone tablets. I had it swapped for a surface laptop. Forget what exactly but similar generation. That had active cooling which I suspect made the difference. Still slow but somewhat tolerable
