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

[nesma aly]

I  have one and don’t particularly like it because for some reason my
headphone jack is weird
And by that I mean sometimes it’ll except my headphones and let me use my
screen reader with them, and sometimes it refuses to do so. I have a
surface pro, that’s what it’s called
If you want to use it on the bus and things like that, I would not
recommend this computer, and here’s the reason why I say that, because
essentially what it is, is a tablet connected with a magnet to a keyboard
so if you were to for example run over a speed bump, the computer falls,
there is a potential that the  keyboard and the tablet will come separated
from each other
Now if your next question is, if that’s the case, then how can I put it on
my lap? On the back of the tablet it has a thin little stand thingy
