Agree. I did a little Googling on Surface & Windows 10. Basically, there have been issues as one would expect with beta versions of W10, need for certain drivers, etc. But users of both the Surface Pro 3 & Surface posted articles on their experience and note that W10 is an improvement on 8.1 (perhaps the bar could be set higher than that ;-)
Thanks for all the feedback guys. Cheers Tony |

Any updates on use of Microsoft Surface?
My netbook has crashed and I am hoping to replace it with a Surface or other such type. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of options out there at different price points, if your not gaming or video editing with the device, you can go with a cheaper option. Im guessing you need a Windows device. How big of a screen do you want? |

No other comments about my Surface Pro 3 aside from the ones above from earlier this month. The screen is big, lots of power for RDSS. The smaller, newer Surface 3 (10 inch screen) will likely also work for you, but I think Buzz might be getting that so I'll let him chime in if so. I think a few other folks were looking at it as well, not sure. Ted

I have been "testing" the Surface and the Surface Pro 3. In addition, there is are a few HP models that are supposed to be Surface Pro challengers and I have expanded my look at those models as well. My only concern about the new Surface are some reviews I have read about it heating up and locking up. It uses a new Atom processor that is low voltage so it is fanless and ventless. I am always leery about new technology. Plus the Pro 3 is pretty amazing and keeps me coming back.
So I have not taken the plunge yet. Plan to do so very soon though. |

Thanks for your feedback. I have another computer for business, so this is primarily for using RDSS. I have been looking on line and it appears that the Dell Venue 11 4th Generation may fill the need at a price significantly lower than the Surface.

I picked up the Asus Vivotab 8 for $179 for the handful of times that i go to the track, i just wanted something portable that can run RDSS. It works great and i have no complaints, and RDSS runs great on it just like it does on my desktop, except much much smaller. Good luck with that. |

Hoof1,
Do you know if you can run the older Dos Sartin Programs on this Tablet? John |

You should be good to go with any tablet running Windows 8.X or higher. |

I just got this promotion from Microsoft today, unfortunately it is for Canadian residents only. $350 off the Surface Pro 3, today only.
