Surface pro 3 is exactly what Microsoft and the Windows Ecosystem needs: an innovative productive device which can compete with Apple products. PC makers like Lenovo, Acer and even Samsung seem not to have visions for new devices. Surface pro 3 is the first 2in1 device which is usable as tablet _and_ pc/laptop.
So killing the Surface is the badest thing Microsoft could do!
- bryanlarsen 12y agoThe Yoga 2 Pro is very usable as a tablet, in my experience. Not as good as a Surface, obviously, but it is very usable, and in return you get a much better laptop experience.
- Zaephyr 12y agoI work with a client that is using yogas. They are a great alternative to convertible (2-axis hinge) laptops and tablets (iPad & Android) - plus MacBook Airs. I've not worked with Surface, but think I would likely prefer the Yoga's laptop keyboard to the Surface's cover keyboard.
- doczoidberg 12y agoOf course it always depends on how you use it. If you mostly use it on your lap and type things into keyboard a more laptop device is better. My usage is in average per day: - 8 hours productive use on my desk with 3 monitors (form factor here is irrelevant, I just need a decent intel machine here) - 2-3 hours mostly consuming use on bed and sofa (no need for keyboard here) You could say that I just should use 2 devices but why should I when I can have it in one device? Another big point about the Surface Pro 3 vs other products is that you can use it for notes and drawings. There will always be compromises in 2in1 devices. For me the SP3 is the best 2in1 till now.
