Hi all, its been a while since I've asked a stupid question so.....

I'm fed up to the back teeth of my MacBook Pro (in fairness it's a 2011 model and its starting to shows its age somewhat).
The MacBook pro is basically used a photo storage device nowadays, its takes that long to do anything on the bloody thing.

So the quest for a replacement comes..... I was wandering around PC world (like you do) and saw a Surface pro with a slim keyboard attached (you know the ones)

Now as I can imagine the normal day to day usage would be similar to a tablet but how would you go about storing unknown amounts of photos, possibly some music somewhere down the line and the normal other crap that comes along. Would this work with an external drive? is that even possible?

TLDR - What's a surface pro good for? porn and internet? or the ability to step it up slightly and store 'shite'

Surface Pro is a laptop with the benefits of tablet capabilities

Very nice device and I use mine a lot

Only down side is that a decent speced one comes in at a fair whack and then to need to add the keyboard and dock as well

Windows 10 is a very good OS though and switches well between PC and tablet modes

As MJ said - wife has one from school for work instead of a laptop and I was sceptical at first, thinking it was just an iPad with a keyboard, but it's much more like an ultrathin laptop. It's not going to be a gaming box at all, but it's not meant to be. I really like them and think we should get them at work tbh.

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
