    Get an ipad and have it dual boot with Windows 10.

    Have and try. Not a fan. Lack of ports is a problem.

    We could tweet Ksusha and get an expert opinion.

    I've considered having the capability of runnign Windows on my Macbook for the sole purpose of having Microsoft Visio, but I decided that either Visio wasn't that important or that doing the dual OS thing would be a pain the ass.

    I have no idea, I was just referencing Ksuh. The only thing I've dual-booted was Linux. I've never been a Mac guy, though I have nothing against them.

    I tried running linux on a PC that I built myself back in undergrad and couldn't get sound to come out of the focking speakers. I spent more than several hours trying to do this and at some point I decided that Linux sucked and I've never messed with since.

    I have a Mac now, but I still understand PCs way better.

    I love Surface Pro's. Good versatility with the added keyboard cover, and just as powerful as any laptop.

    I have a dual boot on my mac. It defaults to loading into MacOS. If you want to load into windows, you just have to hold down the alt key on restart.

    Interesting. I received a quite basic windows tablet from my girlfriend and have found it far more useful than I had thought. I had been thinking that when my laptop finally dies beyond resurrection (which is soon), I may try to replace it with a higher end tablet.

    i5 or i7? Either way, considering it runs full Windows, it should be able to run anything you'd want to run on a normal laptop without being nearly as cumbersome.

    They don't call him Big Papa because he opts for the weaker microprocessors.

    Price difference wasn't enough to stay lower.
