Recently when looking for a 2 in 1 laptop I quickly ruled out the Surface Pro based on price and flexibility. There are many tablets, laptops and 2 in 1s that offer better configurations, cheaper and more flexibility.

I ended up with an ACER with an i7 and 8 gig ram and 512 gig SSD. It has an HDMI port, 2 x USB 2 type ports and a USB C port. This was way cheaper than a lesser Surface Pro device.

No issues with running the applications I want.

My two bobs worth. But, I am biased, I had great difficulty with networking Surface Pros and getting them to work with other devices but that was some time ago. Also I wanted USB Ports for both the sound card and a midi foot controller (which I could plug into the sound card.
