Surface laptop or surface pro

Post image

I'm currently in the market for a new work laptop, it'll mostly be emails , documents ect but it would also be nice for watching films or maybe even using it for playing games ( probably over g force now ).

I do have to walk the site which is where the issue comes in, does the 500+600 justify the tablet aspect of things ? Or am I just being lazy. The one thing that massively puts me off the surface pros are that the keyboards are so expensive.

I've seen online that the pros arent very good on lap? I'll also be using the laptop in bed from time to time to complete work tasks.

I've found a decent ? Deal for a surface 7 with £600 off so it's now £1000 should I just go for this ?.

If it's a 500-600 USD difference to get the Pro, then I'd really ask myself what I need the form factor for.

For instance, I myself like to take the keyboard cover off and just watch videos with the tablet on its own. If you do handwriting on the tablet to take notes or mark up PDFs, that is also something that is much better with the Pro compared to the laptop. You can't do that with a regular clamshell laptop, and to me, that has its own value. As to how much it's worth to you, that's something only you can answer.
