I need a new computer for my office. I like the idea of having something like a surface pro that I can take with me on the road since I'm mobile a lot during the day.

I don't need anything special. Just normal work stuff.(email, storing documents,etc) Not storing a ton of pictures or movies.

I'd love your thoughts.

Sounds like Surface Pro 3 is your answer. Ultra portable, decent battery life, functions like tablet but also runs full-blown Windows 8.1. A little weak in hardware -- about the same as a Macbook Air (for the i5 128gb version), but with the advantage of a much better screen and tablet/notebook hybrid functionality.

There are cheaper options, though, that still offer the "ultrabook" experience.

Thanks. I was leaning towards a surface pro 3. Just checking if there was a better option out there.

Maybe look into a docking station or usb monitor for some desktop functionality

Wife has one, she's an attorney. LOVES it. Takes it to court, home, work, etc.
