Still haven’t found anything (less than $200)...

Anyone with an iPad mini 4?

This really isn’t under my $200 budget....but I just may have to carry a stylus around too.

Just make sure to get a version that is updatable. I bought a cheapy reman ipad mini for my daughter and it was old enough it wouldn't update IOS and several apps wouldn't load because IOS was not up to date.

What is the difference between the Microsoft Surface Pro and Microsoft Surface Go?

Cuneiform tablets are the most collectible.

Kinda narrowed down to a mini 4 or surface go....

Colleague just got the new iPad Pro. He is going to show me it tomorrow. That’ll probably send me over the edge...

Go is smaller and cheaper. Basically laptop vs chromebook.

I have a Surface Pro 4 and an iPad Pro. As a tablet, I much prefer the iPad.

I'd like the Surface Pro a lot more if it didn't run Windows but if you want that kind of thing, the Surface Pro runs full blown Windows 10, it's a laptop in a tablet's body.

So the conclusion....for now.


One of our project managers “retired” a month or so ago. All our project managers use surface pros for the most part. Well I was talking to our IT person about my interest in having a tablet of sorts for the field. He paused and then went over to a pile of electronic parts sitting on a table and pulled out the retired PM’s surface and said “just use this, it’s just collecting dust.”

I purchased a stylus...but expensed it.

It’s shows some wear from the previous user, but free is free!

Hoping this does the trick.

Oh and my colleagues IPad Pro is damn nice too!

They make gorilla glass screen protectors. Probably be a good investment.

And get a case. I linked one earlier in the thread.

This is what I have.

With one of those big fat pencils.

Excellent conclusion to the dilemma.
Definitely get a case for it, because if the glass cracks on that bad boy, you are screwed.
