I replaced my laptop with Microsoft's Surface Pro tablet - here's my verdict after a month

The 12-inch version is exceedingly thin and light with a fast-charging battery, and the refreshed form factor looks more premium. The 256GB of storage is not enough for a device at this price point, and the cost adds up quickly, as the keyboard, mouse, and even the power adapter are sold separately. $899.99 at Walmart $899.99 at B&H Photo-Video more buyi
