Guys and Gals,
I am looking to replace my dying iPad 3, after iOS 10 came out its been a slog to use...
I commute on train for 3+hrs a day (I know....) and tend to use the iPad for watching Amazon Prime Video or movie files, reading scientific papers (pdf mainly) or working on Word/Powerpoint documents. The latter two are more troublesome but as I have Office 365 is possible.
I am looking to replace it, the idea was initially to get a newer iPad, but instead of using it as a glorified casual gaming device and work I wondered if its time to go back to the days of a laptop. (Have a Dell XPS 15 thats a brick and not worth carrying).
What I thought was a clear choice would be the Surface Pro 4, 256GB i5 variant with a type cover. Currently doing an offer with free XBOX One S *which I dont want or need, can sell* but then saw the HP Spectre 360 in a store. Looked thin, light and possibly usable as a tablet (fold away keyboard) so really am at a loss as to which direction to go in.
Whilst money isnt too much of an issue, I am not in the position to get a Surface book, looks nice etc. So its either Surface Pro 4 (256GB/i5/8GB RAM), HP Spectre 360 (i5, 8GB RAM) or just a newer iPad Pro 9.7 128GB.
Any thoughts and suggestions as to direction would be gratefully received.
Thanks
