Does anyone on here have a Microsoft Surface?

i am considering buying one as my ipad 2 has given up and i want to move away from apple.
just would like to get some opinions. as i have read reviews online and saying how good it is but the space on the lower entry model is poor.
i would be using it for surfing the web and emails and maybe doing timesheets for work.

If you want to move away from apple but specifically want a tablet, the Surface is good option. However, if you're looking at anything past the i3, you're going to be paying top wack for it.

I would consider the new Dell XPS 2015 laptop, as it is in a similar price bracket as the Surface, but will undoubtedly be a better machine with far more functionality.

probably not what you want but I bought an all in one pc from pcspecialist. they do laptops , desktops , tablets and towers and all in ones . you put in the specs you want they quote you then build it for you . mine was delivered in 5 days . mine was a pretty high end pc and I saved hundreds from buying it this way. have had no problems with it at all

I have a Surface Pro 3 with an arc mouse that folds flat. It relaxed my Ipad. I was writing a novel and it is much easier to just continue on any machine. I also wanted to get away from Apple so have a Windows phone. Also ordered the Microsoft Band so they all work together. The only downside is there are considerably less Windows Apps. Great machine but pricy.
