I've been looking to get Surfaces for our salesmen and installers so they can be connected to our internal inventory/ordering/scheduling server, but the price has held me back a little. Wouldn't be much to buy our 4 salesmen a surface pro, but to buy them for all of our install trucks would be quite a bit more. $300 adds up pretty quickly. Saving that much means I get a top of the line Surface Pro for myself instead of a base Surface 3 like the rest of the plebes As for the keyboard thing, most of the ones I'd be buying wouldn't need a keyboard. The salesmen would need one, but the installers wouldn't need one.


Out of curiosity, why not Androids or iOS Minis?

Or the Venue Pro 8 (5000), also clocking in at $200 new with microsd expandability, full windows, standard (microUSB) charger, bluetooth...?

If 8" display is the holdup, I understand. If tablet-sized full Win8 is the goal, check it out. Of the 8" windows tablets, it's got the best reviews. There are others out there, but this is, as far as I am concerned from the reviews I've read, the top choice of cheap, 8" non-RT tablets.
