Yep - it's a disposable world we live in today - I'm typing on a 7 year old computer with Win 7, my cell phone is 2-1/2 years old, and my wife says some of my clothes are older than our marriage of 26 years (I do have a Unit jacket, from the 2917th ESC, that is 40 years old from when I was stationed in Italy).
Ironic that many of the folks that always have the latest and greatest technologies are also on the Dole....
I have a fast desktop machine, a nice 17” laptop and a Surface 3 Pro. While I had a Surface Pro 2 and liked it, the battery life was not really very good and it was a little thick for a tablet.
Well, the Surface 3 Pro is so nice that my wife got one too. We both love them. They have long life batteries, boot pretty quickly and run anything that our other machines can handle, although they are certainly not gaming machines.
These are small light and powerful. I don’t go anywhere without it, usually carrying it under my arm.
They are too expensive but sure are nice machines.
