Original Surface Pro
I just picked up an original Microsoft Surface Pro and even with it's limitations I have been fairly impressed with it. So much so that I am now eyeing up the Surface Pro 3 as my next laptop computer. Of course, I'll wait until I find a good deal on that as well. The one I picked up has 64gb of storage and 4gb of RAM. It is an i5 so it is pretty snappy. My biggest issue with it is the screen size and the storage. I just upgraded it to Windows 8.1 and that gave me a bit back but I have 20GB's free with my basic load on it. I am running Office 2013 (Office 365 Load), Connectwise (this is our service management program, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Kindle, Plex, Readiy, Facebook Apps.
However, before I upgraded, I was all the way down to 8GB so that was a little worrysome, especially when I didn't have enough space to install the upgrade to 8.1.
It is snappy, runs well and I am beginning to really like the 8.1 interface. I have found a few programs that don't like the new operating system but for the most part I am running fine. I have signed up for the Windows 10 upgrade that should be availablle late July and this will give me a chance to work more with it as well.
