It’d also be nice if the stylus was built into the unit...

The battery lasts for days even with some solid use and is instant-on, no boot up or sleep unless you specifically put it to sleep. I upgraded from Windows 10 S to 10 Pro so it’s a full featured computer that is slightly larger than an iPad. There is a cellular modem for constant connection. The only downside for me right now is my IT Dept is having trouble installing Cisco VPN software properly. Something is awry because their software is not native for the Snapdragon architecture. That is a big deal right now, but I’m hopeful it gets fixed eventually. In 5 years most laptops will be like this one. |

I was looking at surface go too but the reviews made the processor sound almost unusable for anything beyond email and web browsing a few tabs open. I also wanted the keyboard to be somewhat useable and found the surface go to be just a bit too small.

I’m normally a Samsung fanboy but their tablets have failed me miserably.
I, too, am looking for something to surf with only. I have the house pc for anything I might need made.

Dude, get a Surface. They are all good. Get the Surface GO if you're just browsing the Internet. Get the Pro if you're doing more than that.

How does google drive effectively work on the go, if at all? Our district uses it so I really would need that to work smoothly.

The Surfaces are $$$$$ and honestly more than I need.
The Samsung Tab A has my interest at the moment and has a built in stylus. This isn’t meant to be my main machine...it’s just meant to allow me more flexibility and coordination in the field. Do any of the iPads have a built in stylus? I know those are $$$$ tho

The ONLY downsides I've seen with my surface are: 1. app availability in the Microsoft store. If you're into apps/gaming on your tablet an android or ios based tablet might be better for you. 2. Netflix and Amazon prime block downloading movies to a microsoft based system whether its a surface or any other brand microsoft based tablet or laptop. I find this very weird. Despite those issues, at $399, (or $600 once you add a keyboard and stylus) I may go look at the surface GO as a personal tablet for myself. |
