Hello whomever is reading this.
So a bit of background, is that I had most Apple products. (Tv, iphone 4 and also ipad 3) This was sometime ago. I sold the tv and got a FireTv for Kodi. Swapped out iphone and happy with Galaxy S6 (cost me half the price of an iphone at the time)
I also sold my slowing down and aging ipad 3 just before xmas last year.
I read about the Surface Pro 3 and saw one at the airport and fell in love with the idea of being able to play full football manager. Edit photos using Full Photoshop and the option to switch to keyboard or tablet in a few secs.
The reality is over the last 12 months (and having bought it for around £770 on ebay) is ive tried to love it but theres something just not right.
In tablet mode its so clunky. App store is poor. Apps arent always optimised and the keyboard sometimes never pops up to type.
The fan kicks in quite often and produces quite a bit of heat if gaming or using chrome.
With the resolution being high and even trying to adjust the resolution my dream of full Football Manager kust doesnt work as writing is small and nabigating is slow.
Even youtube doesnt work great. Full Youtube scrolling comments and video scrolls with it and also no decent app alternative.
Theres more I could say..like how the corners dig in your hand in tablet mode..or the battery that lasts around 4 hours maximum. The akward potrait mode and off balance weighf in your hand.
Now I have owned it so long as last time I asked the qiestion about changing it for an ipad. Someone. Commented and said "Thats like changing a laptop for a rock and a peice of slate" So tried for another few months to get along, but just cant seem to.
So I think im really in need of a good media device for internet browsing, youtube and some casual gaming.
Fast forward to now. Does anyone else who has had a Surface Pro 3 feel the same? Would a iPad Pro 9.7 be a big step down?
I think if i sold my pro on ebay I may get after fees around the 450ish mark (big loss) but wondering if the 32gb Ipad is a little low now!? Is it worth buying the 128gb version at a £120 premium?
Sorry for the ling post. Just feel frustrated I went from an iPad that I loved to looking in the corner at my surface and then just picking up my phone as its just easier to use.
On the plus side with the surface I did really liks the kick stand and speakers. Has the speakers and issues from ipad air 2 been resolved compared to how they were (as in vibrating screen and image smidges when ya pressed on back)
Hopefully someone has stayed with me and can recommend on experiance. As it will cost me extra cash to switch out again and I know the Pro seems to be mid cycle so may be wrong time to buy.
Thoughts on the above people? (and thanks so much in advance for any comments)
Ps. Its a Surface Pro i5 8gb 256gb ssd version
