I'm very keen on a Surface 3.
My requirements are:
- Portability
- Decent battery
- Web, Google Docs, WordPress et al
- Photo editing
I've been considering a Chromebook which would be half the price but the Surface 3 has better build quality and more flexibility as it will be able to run Windows apps and I think there would come a day where I'd be saying "Oh, I wish I could just install X" with a Chromebook.
I'm a bit concerned at people saying the Chrome browser is no good on Surface products and I'm interested how people find using a touch screen device with a keyboard.
$1000 (because there isn't a point without the keyboard cover) isn't cheap but I really can't stand spinning hard drives and if it meets my requirements the Surface 3 could be the go.
I think that comparisons to the iPad are wrong, I think the real competitor is the Chromebook.
Thoughts?
