I'm packing for travel to the east coast right now and I recently got a Microsoft Surface. As I've set it up, I've realized it's a supercharged tablet. My old Samsung tablet isn't making the trip and probably won't make any more, ever.
I got the tablet so I could work on and learn Creative Cloud apps while I fly. I usually get the middle seat and my laptop is a 17" monstrosity, so there's no way I can use it. Plus, its battery lasts about 80 minutes, assuming I'm not editing videos. The tablet will let me work and learn as I fly instead of playing idiotic brick breaker games on my phone for 5-6 hours.
I've installed Adobe Creative Cloud, Spotify with downloaded playlists, Audible with downloaded books to hear, Kindle with books to read. Once I pair it with my Sony headphones, I'm not sure what else I need. As long as the battery holds out, it should be able to do everything, just like the desktop machine where I'm typing right now.
I'll post a review once I see how it works.
Lots of these portable power banks for re charging, assuming they allow it on the plane.

Thanks, amigo!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in hearing about it. I do about the same things on my tablet as my phone. The one thing I really need my tablet for is Game Changer that I keep score for the High School baseball team. I don't believe there is a Windows versionu for that.
ReplyDeleteMy Mac is 10 years old, and getting long in tooth. And even though the a 5 year old MacOS is still superior to anything Windows, I've had enough of giving way too much money to Apple. I am sick of their treatment of their customers. Probably do to their fan boys continuous "thank you sir, may I have another".
Could a Surface be an only computer for a mostly casual user.
Oh, and can the Linux subsystem be loaded on it?
