Could a Pro handle a 100mb+ workbook in Excel? I'd love to slim down my work computer but need to be able to crunch numbers.

As a work first and play second device, it would blow an iPad out of the water.

Yes...if you get the Surface Pro devices, they're full laptops in terms of specs

Easily.

You realize it's not an Apple product right?

I have the Surface Pro 2 as well.

My problem with it is the price. It tries to be both things but isn't as good

Do you own a Surface Pro 2 or 3? I don't believe that a MacBook Air is better.

Re: Price -- Surface Pro 3 is much cheaper than Macbook Air + iPad

I've had the Surface Pro 2 since November...best device I've ever owned.

I will check out that app. Any other recommended apps?

Jeremy

Apps I recommend for the surface or any windows 8 device

People harp on it. But they've never actually used one.

I didn't realize they were all SSDs. Very cool, but get pricey

Has anyone here switched from iPad to Surface?

I did

I did - that is part of why I love the Surface so much--the contrast is huge

What about the addictive apps everyone uses on tablets/phones today?

Just got back from 5 weeks in Europe using my Surface as my primary work machine

My work doesn't allow Win 8 to be used on their network yet

Windoze 8 is of the devil.

have you actually used windows 8?

molodyets

Unfortunately, yes. It sucks.

My 4 year old finds Windows 8 to be very easy

It's not AT ALL intuitive. It sucks. ME all over again.

My 10-Year-Old has a Windows Tablet

I've got a strong suspicion it's not IQ.

Meaning?

Have you used it on a touch surface

molodyets

7/24/14 9:09pm

A laptop. Hate it! On another unit

And there is your issue.

That makes as much sense as saying iOS sucks

Huh, OK.
