Microsoft Surface Pro Review

| Microsoft Surface Pro |
The bad: Even with it's small size it is kind of heavy and it doesn't have a built in cellular card. The battery life also isn't as great as most other tablets but that is understandable considering the computing power that it offers.
Verdict: If you think that a regular sized laptop isn't portable enough, and an iPad can't do the things that you need it to because of compatibility problems. The Microsoft Surface Pro is what you need to get!
Why did I buy the iPad Air?
I bought the Microsoft Surface Pro 128GB because I travel and go to a lot of meetings and carrying around a regular sized laptop just wasn't working for me. I got the Pro version because I use a lot of windows based programs and the RT version only allows you to use apps from the Microsoft store. I didn't get the iPad because a lot of the stuff that I do with work requires certain programs and the use of Internet Explorer.What I don't like about the iPad Air
It is Heavy! Despite being the size of a regular tablet it feels like it is double the weight. However it is sturdy, last week I was holding mine in my hand with some papers and I guess I wasn't holding it correctly and it fell face down on a concrete floor! I was sure that I was going to pick it up and have glass everywhere but all I had was a few scratches on the screen.
One of the most annoying things that I can't stand about it is that if you buy the Type Cover and plan on using it in your lap expect to get frustrated. The Type Cover is kind of flimsy so if you apply any pressure to it while it is in your lap you will end up either not getting any buttons pressed or a bunch of buttons pressed that you didn't want. This can be avoided by getting a laptop cooling pad or a laptop workstation or some other hard flat surface to put it on top of.
