To you. I would get tons of utility out of a full-OS tablet. Just depends on your needs.neither, because they're dumb

EDIT: Basically everyone I know with a Surface Pro is a professional of some sort that travels a lot and needs a full OS. Like engineers, a ton of my engineering buddies have them.
Surface Pro dumb? Ok then. It's a great combination of tablet and laptop worlds.neither, because they're dumb

I would consider buying a razor edge pro but if you want it for work, the surface pro is your best bet. Because the keyboard of the razor edge looks like it weight a ton and the battery will last twice as long (3 hours compared to one and a half). Also, both will come with a heavy power supply but it's still half the weight of an ultra-book.masterdratThe Surface Pro battery doesn't last 1.5 hrs, where did u hear that?

[QUOTE="lostrib"]Surface Pro dumb? Ok then. It's a great combination of tablet and laptop worlds. why? pleanty of text editors on android tablets, pleanty of attachable keyboards on other tablets ..... which are alot cheaper, last alot longer, and have much better TABLET applications.neither, because they're dumb

There's only the Acer which was 50$ cheaper for the equivalent of the surface, I have yet to hear if the component are of the same quality. Edit: Acer not AsusIf you want a windows 8 tablet, there are better ones out there than the surface pro.

Edit: Acer not Asus Surface pro is useless because of the tiny battery life I don't get this, the Surface Pro lasts 4 hours with normal usage, what's wrong with that? Yes, there are other ones that last a bit longer but by no means is it useless.If you want a windows 8 tablet, there are better ones out there than the surface pro.

I have a Surface Pro, it's great as it's the first worthwhile tablet that can actually do tasks of a Laptop. That said if you're not bothered about the Tablet functionality, then just get a Laptop for half the price. Tixylixx
May I ask something about it? It hasn't released here yet in Australia.
Is it heavy? Is it noisy? Does it get hot?

In terms of tablets, it is EXTREMELY heavy. In terms of practical use as well, but I mean is it THAT heavy...No. I'm not sure if that makes sense. It has to be less than 5 pounds, but still, it can feel cumbersome. It has moderate temperatures, nothing too worrisome.
I still prefer a laptop over both of them.

During normal tasks it's quiet, cannot hear it and notice no heat. When playing games like Skyrim you hear it and it gets a little bit hot, however I have it on the table then anyways, I wouldn't play that style of game when holding it tablet style. I don't think it is heavy, people complain about weight but unless you're very very weak, you wont be getting a work out.I think I can talk about the Surface Pro, since I actually own one. For starters, yes, Windows 8 is unintuitive because it relies on swiping in from the edges - few other touchscreen operating systems do so. But, over the past few months, Microsoft has really improved their first party applications (Bing Finance, People, etc.) and I like the idea of a tablet OS being integrated with a desktop one.Â
And plus, the pen is badass, especially with OneNote.Â
Could you give insight on my previous questions too please? Is it heavy? Is it noisy? Does it get hot? I want to test it out but Australia hasn't gotten it yet...I think I can talk about the Surface Pro, since I actually own one.
