I am looking for a small tablet/computer that I can carry in a purse as I have no office and am always getting calls for work while I'm away from home. The main programs I use are Microsoft Office and Adobe Pro along with company email. I have been looking at the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 (256GB). Pros/Cons/Better options?

TIA

I was afraid the gaming board would tell me to GTFO if it wasn't about computer games.

Is that the correct board for this type of question?

Don't get anything smaller than a 13 inch screen.

Search for: 13" Ultrabook, you'll like anything you get.

My 15" samsung series9 laptop is the best computer I ever owned.

If you don't mind spending the money, surface pro 2 is really nice.

That's why I pick this username. It was supposed to be a play on words.

Company is buying so I'm not worried about budget, within reason. I don't want to go over 1500. I'm sort of on call during the day, but have an active non-work day schedule so it would be nice to have a small, lightweight option to carry around.

I recently got an 11 inch Lenovo Yoga 11s and like it. It's a Windows laptop where the keyboard folds all the way back so you can use it like a tablet. When I was comparing it in Best Buy I'd say it is bigger and heavier than the Surface Pro, but it's an actual laptop and seemed like it'd be a lot more comfortable to use.

They know their shite when it comes to computers.

Requests have been made to rename that board to a gaming/tech board
