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

[Tom Evans]

My thoughts on surface pro eight as I was looking at buying the same. My biggest concern and people complain about glare on the screen so I need to look and find maybe at Best Buy. I don’t like Microsoft yet having said that I need it to run everything I have and everything I looked at, the people are happy as all improvements have been made over the other models with a new and improved price. You can look on YouTube as many people do demonstrations and talk about what they have bought and compare it to other items. There was a great competitor of the Lenovo I don’t remember the model end it was more sturdy and lower price. Tom

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 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.
