    Yeah, but with the Mini Surface you'll get to clickity-clack your keyboard and dance around like an idiot. Instead of, you know, using the device.

    Oh yeah I forgot about the instant hip hop skills feature

If you need full Office compatibility on tablet, there is no other even remotely functional solution.


    If you need Office compatibility, why not just use a Macbook Air?  I have an iPad 3, iPhone 5, MacBook Air, and Mac Pro.  I probably spend 95% of my time on MBA and iPhone.  In fact, most the people I associate with need power point and Word and we all use MBA and iPhone.  When I go to meetings it is almost humorous how everyone pulls out a MBA and iPhone.  If I didn't need Word, I'd probably be using iPad.

    That can't be! The iPad is a complete failure because it doesn't have a memory card slot or a real filesystem. /s
    This is for real?

    Welcome. You'll notice things like /s, ¡, and "___" in posts. They represent sarcasm.


     


    We tend to do that a lot. image

    I had one, to slow though. I'm actually really happy with my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2 for work and my iPad for play.

    Windows 8 is actually an okay OS, still prefer Unix/OSX but very use able and quick.
