Can I get a non-meme opinion on these tablet-laptop hybrids?

Great for portability, but limited in power. Generally pretty good battery life but you're better off with a 13" MBP if you need to do much more than edit documents and send emails. Don't cheap out on them, but don't go over the top because they can't do a lot. Wanted to get one for classes but too heavy of a workload between compiling so much shit and virtualisation

I bought a surface 3 for note taking in my classes. Absolutely love it. When it works. The pen drivers and OneNote are full of bugs that make it really hard to give it a good review. But when it works, it's amazing. I haven't attempted to do any "work" on it so I can't comment on that.

If you can call 4 hrs of heavy use good battery life.

They're basically an ultrabook in tablet form. Either way you look at it though the keyboard setup is inferior. It's fine on a table.

Why lie?

I can't even get more than 5 hours out of my surface before it dies just using chrome. Even the guy at the surface store admitted the shit dies quick.

Weird mines fine for at least 8 hours browsing but I can drop the brightness because I'm usually somewhere bright.

Sorry these things are a rip off. Pro4 is about the right price.

if I could travel back a year, i'd rather buy a surface for notetaking and more powerful piece for everything else..
instead i'm stuck with xps 13 (not complaining though, its near perfect for me, just lacking that "true" hybrid/2v1/... style) and old good papers and pencil
