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

[Mama Otter]

I have a Surface pro as well. I used it for travelling as I own a small 
business and need to work while I'm away on vacation. However like 
others have said I definitely recommend putting it on a desk if you are 
going to use the attached keyboard. I don't have the problems with the 
headphone jack that others have noted. I purchased my surface a little 
over 2 years ago and it still works great.
