I was considering renting a minivan for the weekend for visiting guests, but they want like $175 a day. For a minivan. Insane.

@Minion-Queen I told my boss they're a hardware nightmare. But, the execs want something lighter than the M4800s we've been getting...

Ugh.... Well they are lighter I will give them that. I have one that I got for free and it just sits here.

@Minion-Queen It's no iPad Pro thats for sure.

@Minion-Queen send it my way
We went with HP Elite X2 with wireless docks. They work well.

I hate the dell charging stations and all of the administrators have them.

We use it for testing we have a client with so many issues with them we frequently test here to figure out the issue.

I just got back from Ireland, the small SUV (they had no mini vans) was $380 + 180 in VAT for two days... OMG!

Are they still? Paul Thurrott has been reporting that MS has resolved most if not all of the problems with the Surface pro 4 and the Surface Book.
The Surface Pro 3 currently is having a battery problem, not sure if it's the batteries themselves or a software issue, thought MS has been quoted as saying they think they can fix it in software.
-
When we evaluated the SP2, the brand new demo was DOA. I just don't trust it.

One problem about the Surface Pro is that they glued that damn thing like an iPad / Android tablet. iFixit got some reviews about this. Hard to replace or upgrade parts.
-
@Dashrender I'm not sure if they are/aren't gonna be checking them out for myself first hand but I'll post my experiences.

I'm sorry, was there a question there?
The Surface line, like most phones today, were not meant to be user serviceable. If that's a requirement, then you need to look else where. But for most people, they would never consider taking apart their huge easy to work on desktop computer, let alone a $900 Surface device.
-
@Dashrender No question, just a statement. Would love to buy them, but like you said, they are not serviceable at all. Would just have been nice if you could upgrade RAM or the SSD maybe without losing your warranty.

My wife's school is replacing some large percentage of the teacher's laptops with Surface Pro 4's in 2 weeks. I hope she brings it home and lets me play with it.
We have an Surface Pro 3 here in my office. It seems to get the job done where needed. The crappy thing is that I need a unit that can last 9+ hours on battery while being used at full or near full backlight while on wifi and running a super crappy written web app.
