Microsoft Surface Pro 4 12.3-Inch Tablet
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-S...0ZWBXVT7CWJBRJ
Thinking of getting this since its on offer for black Friday but wondering how much of an upgrade it will be from my Samsung galaxy pro note 12.2? If there is anyone out there who has this then I'd appreciate in your opinion of it. |

The Surface Pro is completely different to an Android tablet. It's a Windows PC in tablet form, and that has plus and minus points. You can run any software you would on a PC, but you will have to do PC maintenance tasks such as antivirus and cleaning up files.

I prefer a tablet. Mine seems to struggle though with web pages especially DS. Not exactly a cheap tablet either so not sure why. I've even reset it but it's still the same. With the Microsoft pro being basically a PC. I was hoping it would be better.

Personally I went for the i5 version. So far it's easily handled everything thrown at it, including Adobe CS etc.

There's a new model, with the Surface style kickstand and keyboard, out with the twelve inch model currently £270. Less RAM and storage than the SP4, but then it is half the price and you can easily add a micro SD card to increase the storage. |

I have a Pro 4 although mine is i7 based. Its a cracking machine. The Intel Core M3-6Y30 stands up pretty well to the i5 and at £400 its a bargain for sure.
This is a Microsoft machine and I have no doubt W10 will run like a dream on it. |

I've only seen it for 550. Not sure how long it'll stay at that price. Not really in a position to buy it at the moment but maybe closer to Christmas I might be. I just fancy a change from android but no point if its there's difference in performance with my galaxy note pro 12.2.
