[Trainer-Talk] Please recommendations

The Microsoft Surface Pro is phenomenal and with a phenomenal price that
most do not want to pay. Saying that, it is worth it. Do not get other
surface machines as they do not have an insert key (some no app key)and yes
you can bypass that with creating your own but it will not do all that the
insert or app key does--just like when you use the caps versus insert key
does not either and yes, there is a difference.
