Microsoft 12.3" Surface Pro 4 Tablet

I was very hesitant to buy this. I have read a lot of reviews stating horrific issues with the Surface Pro 4. I have also been a long time apple fan and have become very accustomed to the apple methodology. For those of you worried about the bad reviews of glitches, I can report that I have had 0 issues with mine since purchasing. For those of you who are hesitant to switch from Apple to Windows, I would say it's worth it with a few caveats. First, I purchased this because I am an amateur photographer and like to do my edits wherever I am (I don't like having to sit in my office and work on my desktop). This device is incredibly portable and the touch screen is incredible for performing edits. I was torn between this, an iPad Pro, or a MacBook. After using the stylus on a photo edit, I found it along with touch interface to be a huge sell for me which the Surface performs perfectly. My only complaint is that it is VERY reflective and difficult to see in daylight. However, if you're buying this as a pure Laptop, to be honest, there are probably better deals out there for less money that aren't detachable. To be honest, if Apple made a detachable I probably would have bought it. OSX is just what I'm familiar with. However, I will say that Windows 10 is INCREDIBLE compared to the windows 7 machines I've used. The tiles are awesome (especially in tablet mode), and the start menu is vastly improved. However, this is a Windows machine, so it is glitchy compared to OSX. I'm not trying to make an "Apple is better than WIndows" statement here, just saying that my OSX desktop is far more stable. However, this is still a great machine with a great OS even with the occasional hiccup. Last, I would say that the marketing for this device is a little "off" in my opinion. This is not a "tablet" that can replace your laptop. Its a laptop that functions pretty well as a tablet. In tablet mode this does most things my iPad could and then some (Like still run full desktop apps, which is amazing). However, there are things a tablet does that this cannot. For instance, iPad's (and similar) can start playing music and then turn off while still playing music. There are ways to do this on a Surface as well, but its not as easy as just clicking the power button. If you're looking for a device that is an exact replacement for a tablet in all ways while still running desktop software, this isn't it (and frankly I'm not sure there is a solution to that currently). If, like me, you wanted to take your desktop software on the go and be able to use touch interface while also being able to utilize it as a tablet in a pinch, you'll be very happy with a Surface Pro 4. Since purchasing this I've gotten rid of my iPad all together (I was a HUGE iPad user at home). My only regret is losing the interconnectivity that Apple does so well with handoff. However, if you're an android user and have Pushbullet you wont miss a thing. Regardless of the occasional hiccup, this is a great machine and I would highly recommend it!
