Do you have a surface? I never liked the look and feel of one, never bought one. Well, I do not like Apple overall, I absolutely love the larger iPad Pro.

The average person has never heard of Microsoft Surface.

If you get a Surface then get any extra warranty as they are glued together and even IfixIt could not glue earlier models back together properly.

Here are their how-to’s so maybe Microsoft have since made it easier:

I’ve never really understood the purpose of a tablet. From web equipped mobile phone to a laptop, I’ve just never seen the need for a transitionary product, atleast that is how I perceive them.

The Surface needs a weighted keyboard that locks to the tablet. The weight of the keyboard has to prevent the tablet from tipping over.

The Surface, while it can be used with the kickstand and keyboard on a flat surface such as a table, can't be used with they keyboard on your lap or a soft surface such as a bed.

Here is a factoid. A surface is supposed to operate better on Linux than on MS...

I’ve been out of the day-to-day desktop game for a few years, so maybe things have changed.

But, during and shortly after Covid, at a small hospital, we gave docs/employees the choice between a laptop and a Surface.

90% of the people who chose the Surface requested it be swapped out with a laptop within 3-6 months. Ended up with a stack of Surfaces in the hardware storage room. All were deployed with MS keyboards when they went out, so that wasn’t the issue. Left shortly after that and never found out if there was a common issue that caused people to change their mind.
