Enjoy the ride!
Surface users/computer guru's,
I curently have a Acer Aspire V5 and a Asus laptop. Both are 8+ years old. The Acer is my travel and the Asus is my home device. I'm looking to replace both with a single device.
I'd like something I can travel with on my bike and on flights.
I want something that runs a Microsoft OS.
USB plug is necessary. (Garmin/Sena/GS-911 interface)
MS Office or something similar would be nice to have also.
My Mrs recently brought her work Surface Pro home and I was able to check it out. I like the look/feel/features of it. The pen was a nice feature. I also liked the keyboard fit and feel. That's why I'm leaning toward a Surface device.
I'll be using the device for general computing things (internet searches, storing music/photos/videos, GS-911/Garmin/Sena updater.) No heavy computing needs, at least not what I'd consider heavy. I want whatever I get to have sufficient RAM/memory to support my needs.
I think I want a version of the Microsoft Surface. I'd appreciate any advice on the big differences between the versions of the Surface. If there's a different device that you'd recommend, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your time and your help.
