Would love your use case and opinions on the device so far.
I've spent the last week or so reading all reddit surface pro 12" opinions and compared to other products there aren't many reviews.
Im a basic user and don't do anything crazy. Email, multimedia, surf the web and annotate books for work. I have an A16 iPad that does all this fine but I have never owned an apple product and don't love the OS and on occasion have to hop on my windows laptop to do a few things. The reasons I want the surface is the full OS, external display connection and familiarity. The reason I haven't purchased the surface is, It isn't as simple to read and annotate PDFs which I do everyday. I know these devices are not used for the same things but for my use case they can be, with each one being a little annoying because of the things they are weak at.
I know it's fine for my use case, I just want opinions of current Surface Pro 12" owners so I can get a more informed opinion since a 512gb is on sale for $599 currently and is only a few hundred books more than my A16.
