Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 is the triple-threat of the computing world, tripling as a tablet, laptop and desktop replacement, and doing each rather well. Most things with the Surface are great, with a couple of minor quibbles: the kick-stand means Surface...
Bottom line Look, I think the short answer is no, but that's only because Surface doesn't suit my particular needs. If I didn't use my laptop as a laptop as much of the time, the kick-stand issue wouldn't really concern me, at all. I've seen others in the land of tec...
