Hi all,
so, my MSI gaming laptop is dead, well I say dead, one of the fans grinds to a halt and then the whole thing goes into a mad hissy fit and shuts down.
I need to replace it as I use the laptop when i'm on the road for work and when I travel to the office.
I don't really use the gaming side of it especially as I have the desktop now. Overnight stays in hotels are also really rare for me now too so I don't generally play games other than on my phone.
I can't quite decide between a tablet and a laptop. Sadly my phone is apple, and my work is all done on office applications. So don't suppose I can marry the two easily.
I've thought about an older windows surface or perhaps just a basic laptop. But I really can't decide which route to take.
In the evenings, I would probably use it to watch youtube or forums etc, and I guess a tablet would be more useful on the occassions when I'm actually away as I can take it to dinner a lot easier than a laptop.
any suggestions? or just find a 2nd hand windows surface with type cover?
