I have a total luddite client, I think in his 70s who needs a new tablet and wants my recommendation.

I originally recommended the Surface 3 to him because he saw NFL announcers using it to draw on things and he wanted the ability to write notes on anything on the screen.

Unfortunately, while I looked into it and the surface SHOULD have been able to do this, by taking a screenshot with the pen, writing on the screenshot, and hitting the email button to send, it simply bugged out at the email step and this guy is not smart enough to save a file somewhere and then email that separately.

On top of that, the cellular internet connection will drop out, and the driver will need to be re-installed occasionally, making this a terrible choice for a technology crippled old guy.

So now I am looking at recommending he get a iPad pro and use remote desktop to do most of his work from his office windows machine, or taking another crack at the Surface by recommending the 2017 version.

Does anyone here have any recommendations either way? Has Microsoft worked out the issues with their Surface line, or should I expect it to have major issues like the S3 did?

if you want help:
>Assemble parts list

>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - If you need multithreading
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use, not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>VEGA
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 or Vega 56 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM, 3200 MHz is ideal

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor
