[Electronics-Talk] Seeking Advice from Someone who Owns or Uses a Microsoft Windows Surface Tablet.

[Humberto Avila]

Howdy Everybody. 

I hope you had an amazing weekend thus far. In my neck of the woods, it is currently raining very frequently which is very rare for this time of year for this region here in Washington State. :) 

Anyways, I would love to pick the brain of a blind person or people that is, or has been; currently using a Microsoft Surface Tablet. A friend who also is my local AT specialist for my local blindness VR agency recommended I try out a Windows surface tablet, for the kind of workflow and routines / lifestyle I currently have. 

I have never seen a Windows surface tablet, and yes, I'm a big tech guru, and an AT trainer myself, and that's something I eventually would like to have in my bucket list. But I've never come across an opportunity to use, explore or learn one. 

In researching all the specs and aspects of Surfaces on the Microsoft Web site but I was actually a bit overwhelmed with sooooo many choices they have, and customizations. I hear they have convertable tablets that work as both laptops and iPad-style device, I feel like I need to go hands-on and touch the many options physically though. 
If anyone has any experiences with these amazing gadgets I would really appreciate hearing what kind of model(s) and type(s) that you use. I'm mainly looking to use it for work related tasks, Zoom meetings, all aspects of work communications, and for using while travelling on Uber, paratransit, or buses, with my Braille display connected through Bluetooth. 

Thanks for such advice kindly in advanced, and looking forward to learning more. 

Best Regards, 

Humberto
