There is no doubt that IOS is a superior operating system to Win RT. That accounts for your freezes. But the Surface is a superior device. It is more capable and configurable and upgradeable. Pair it with a better OS and I think it will be a very good device for our purposes.

I don't even carry my MacBook Air any more because the Surface does all I need on the road. I take a TB HD and have all the infotainment one needs even without a decent internet connection. The keyboard is way easier to type on than an IPad screen. In the ipad's favor is app support. RT support is woefully inadequate but it's on the way out. I think we'll have full blown windows soon.

My hope is MS makes a smaller Surface Pro 3 with the same features.
