Does the surface offer anything over something like above?

Keyboard is anything but good and pen is not precise, also

build quality
hardware
specs

chink tablets and properly build ones are worlds apart. You dont want to deal with shit like chink wifi chips running over sdio interfaces

>The Galaxy tab A 9.7 Type-S Logitech cover still at $70
Fucking jews, the S2 version is $19

>>58698476
>build quality
>just werks (except for the pro 3, which had horrific battery life problems)
>specs
>docks well and good for office environment

It's that last one that really counts.

>>58698476
You can do things on them that no other tablet can do, so if people want to do those things they have no other choice

High price to make it seem special, make it look good to make it seem special, people will buy to feel special.

I actually want one, full laptop power in a tablet, that's what all this tech shrinking is best at
Convince me otherwise

The old keyboards are trash, the ones for the SP4 are fantastic, they even have a glass trackpad.

I'm giving mine to my little sister. It is nice but I'm sick of the sleep of death and other recurring issues.

Nah, just short haired jav star.

>>58698476
because they're actually pretty great for school.

Compact, definitely not flimsy and the keyboard is surprisingly well done.

The price really is too high though. No reason to get one other than the lowest two tiers. For anything more demanding than basic school crap and note taking you can get a normal desktop

>>58698476
Keyboard sucks. No HDMI. Oh, but you can draw on it!!!

theyre not overpriced, youre just poor
