As a bunch of Geeks we love new technology!
The positive to this, is that we get to test new kit and “geek toys” continually. The negative to this is we spend a fortune as normally we get bored and move on to the next within a matter of weeks. That was the case until our whole Company became addicted with Microsoft Surface Pro’s!
Personally I have had my Surface Pro for 9 months and it has gone from being a trendy looking, nice to have piece of kit into a practical and integral part of my working life.
For the novices out there who still have a Desktop Computer, a Laptop and an IPad / Android tablet. Here are the reasons why the Microsoft Surface Pro is a must have! I would like to point out that we would happily receive payment from Microsoft to write these points but unfortunately wehavent! J
So why are all the staff at Everything Tech in love with their Surfaces Pro’s…
When I am in work and sat at my desk, I use it as my Desktop Computer as it docks which means I can use my full size screen, keyboard and mouse like normal.
When I am working from home or onsite with a customer, I use it as my Laptop Computer. It is the lightest Laptop you will ever have with the full functionality of a standard one.
The touchscreen technology is pretty standard but as I can access all of Office 365‘s features, my PowerPoint presentations on the Surface Pro and detach the keyboard. When I’m onsite with a customer this is an exceptional feature as I don’t need to carry a projector or TV to link to.
When I’m at home browsing the Internet, reading my Social Media, listening to music or watching TV, I use it as my tablet/IPad. As the keyboard detaches I can take it anywhere and unlike my laptop I don’t need to boot it up to jump between my work and social.
Unlike an IPad or Android tablet it’s not limited in capability. As it’s a real PC running full windows it means if I want to access any of my Desktop work or documents I can without the need to boot up my work Laptop.
As an SME Owner I love it as it saves me money! I can replace 3 expensive pieces of kit with one. We have purchased all of our Surface Pro’s through John Lewis so I have a 2 year warranty included. Brand new innovate kit, full warranty and all for less than I normally spend, that to me is a win win!
There are countless other reasons to why we are in love with our Surface Pro’s but these are mainly based around the software on the device. As I’m a busy Geek I will enlighten you at a later date on this! We are Everything Tech and we do…….Everything Tech!
