I have used a Surface Pro 1, 2 and now 3.  They might be fine things for
being a tablet - if only they had a decent tablet interface.

Win 8 is not that interface.

It is still a PC OS, heavily dependent on a keyboard (sold separately)
and mouse.  To do anything more than surf social media and read (not
respond to) emails, you will be craving an actual laptop. 

Give me a Samsung Galaxy Tab any day.
