The day the Surface 3 came out my truck was broken into. I lost my laptop, ipad, briefcase and everything wlse that was in the briefcase. I has been looking at the Surface (actually bought the 2 for my sales guys) and really liked the Surface 3 so the timing was as perfect as getting robbed can be. I got the Surface 3 with 8gb ram and 256 storage. I use it mostly as a laptop so far and am very pleased. My laptop was an i7 w 4gb ram and the surface has performed as well as the laptop so far though i havent run a huge spreadsheet on it yet. I also am learning to use OneNote. I am not comfortable enough to take notes in a meeting yet but am getting there.
All in all I love it. It is living up to my expectations, eliminated a device and greatly reduced weight. I will be glad when the dock is available for in my offices and at home.
