Why do you want to purchase a Microsoft Surface Pro?

Surface Pro Right

As we go into the weekend, I have a very simple question to ask you guys and girls.

For those of you who plan to purchase a Microsoft Surface Pro later this month when it’s released, my question is why?

Not a joke and no insult intended.

I’m just curious about the different reasons people are interested in the Surface Pro. On this website, I have seen a tremendous amount of expressed interest about this upcoming device.

People seem to be waiting for the Pro because of it’s ability to run legacy apps, better screen size, stylus etc

I’m curious to know what you plan to use a Surface Pro for.

Would it replace your current laptop? Do you plan to use it as a Tablet? Maybe you plan to plug it in to a monitor and use that as your primary PC when you’re home.

Use the comments below and let us know.

Have a great weekend.

    I plan to go for a RAZER EDGE Pro Gaming system. My W8 tablet has to play games on STEAM. The RAZER EDGE would replace 3 systems, a 4 year old MSI GX630 gaming laptop, Dell mini 9 netbook enhanced to run Windows 7 and a Kindle Fire.

      This is not an issue for me. I can tether to my Nokia 920.

    • The_Norseman

      Most iPads as well as other tablets are now sold with just wireless. Tethering is the preferred method of connecting tablets these days because you don’t need to pay for a separate phone line.

    No, will stay with my netbook with Win 8.

  • Jack

    Yes, i’ll replace my current laptop after bought window 8 pro because it is a desktop/laptop in a tablet form! :D

  • Jack Shofner

    I don’t plan on buying or using the Surface Pro. I own an iPad which is better in my opinion.

    • Michael Paterson

      How do you know which is better if you’ve never used the Surface Pro?

    When I read that MS was going to make a Win8Pro tablet I sold my ViewSonic Win7 tablet before I lost a lot of money on it. I’ve been saving my money and will buy the Surface Pro as soon as I can. Hopefully the of the month.

    One thing I noticed absent from this thread is the use the Surface Pro will have for designers, engineers and architects. Take it into the field, snap a photo of the job and make notes on the photo with the pen. Being a real computer a CAD program can be installed also for using in the field. I can see a lot of use in engineering.
    Anything that can save you time can make you money.

    Definitely,
    I spend a great deal of time in metro development and testing. At the moment I spend time side loading to an RT for testing purposes. The Pro will give me an ideal, particularly poratble and mobile development platform.

    I want a tablet, but need a tablet pc. ipad is a great tablet, but I am looking for something that can windows because I own a ton of Windows software already. I don’t know yet if i will buy a Surface Pro, but I’m definitely going to check it out. I’ve been waiting for Surface Pro to make my final decision.

    I want one because it’s cool and because it would make a great present for my husband.

  • Steve L

    I can’t say it would replace anything, but it would be used side by side, or ‘on the go’ usage. I do like the new interface, haven’t had a chance to play with win8 much but I love learning new systems.

  • Chris J

    Not to be offensive but the Surface RT is semi-useless when compared to an Ipad. The Pro however is way more useful to me than an IPad. I am looking forward to its release.

    The larger HDD space, bigger display, legacy support. it utilizes a feature that windows 8 was made for, touch screens. The cool clickie keyboard. I think I can use it for all my laptop needs, of course I’d need a gaming rig somewhere too.

  • Yugi

    I want the Surface PRO because this is the tablet that can really replace the laptop. It works like a full PC.

  • Galvinised

    Because I work in IT and this would enable me to securely control the WINDOWS network, it would enable real remote desktoping and all the software I run on my desktop I could run onthis tablet. It is everything I want right now in a tablet yes it may cost a lot but you pay for what you get.

  • ankur arora

    because i consider it to be a best hybrid and i dont like yoga and others

    also i have got pissed off by limitations of ipad and android is too geeky

    and i can run the good pc games on it as well as temple run 2 via bluestack or youwave

    so all in one for me, let it be pc, a tablet or gaming device with great style and comfort

    storage does not hurt me much cuz we dont keep videos loaded on comp in this youtube world

    and pictures music and installed dont need that much space or do they

  • aseries

    We are retired and traveling a lot. I have a Kindle Fire, a Dell Mini-9 netbook I enhanced to run Windows 7 and an 4 year old MSI gaming laptop. I would like to replace the netbook and the laptop with something easier to haul around.
