The SmallBizWindows Tablet & Laptop of the Year 2013: Microsoft Surface Pro

TABLETLAPTOPMicrosoft Surface Pro is the best tablet and laptop on the market today.

Period.

In the several weeks since I have had Surface Pro, I have been more impressed with it than all the other systems around here.

And for a first effort, Surface Pro is largely immediately useful.

Since it is x86-based, I am able to perform all the same tasks on it as I can on any of the PCs in our inventory. Moreover, with Office 365, I can continue to live in Outlook, a ‘feat’ I cannot currently enjoy on our SurfaceRT units.

Surface Pro looks, feels, and performs like a premium product; as it should, since it is priced as such.

I am able to run a Windows 7 VM in it – because I can –and still have the portability of a tablet.en-US_Surface_Win_8_Pro_128GB_RM1

I have used it on my weekly trips to the ‘day job’, and last week took it to Las Vegas for the 2013 HP Global Partner Conference as my only system.

It did not fail me.

Coupled with the satisfaction Wifey, Rod and I have had with Surface Pro, we have given it both the SmallBizWindows Laptop of the Year and Tablet of the Year Awards.

It is a truly aspirational device!
