    Everyone in the Netflix daredevil universe uses it.

  • I have a surface pro 4. I love these machines. You can use it like a tablet, you can use it like a laptop. It's great for drawing and taking notes by hand. The only problem is Windows, but that's not a big problem for the average person. The price of the new ones is a problem but I think the form factor is awesome.

    There was a very weird placement on Supernatural on some episodes with a "tech genius". Very jarring how forced it was.

    I love my Surface Snapdragon X. Battery life up the wazoo and I use it largely as a thin client to windows and linux systems so it lasts forever. I did debloat it heavily though. And someone will probably say why not install Linux on it, to which I say...for everything I use I've yet to find a Linux distro that works without hours of custom efforts. I work 7 days a week and don't have time to dive down rabbit holes every day to fix shit like my mouse, or my bluetooth ear buds, or RDP, or parsec, or nomachine, or wifi.

    Why would you put it on any computer?

    My friends love them. It's more like a laptop than a tablet and they love using the touchscreen as apart of their PC experience. Battery life needs work, at least the Intel ones that they were using. I have yet to convert them to Linux. I'm working on it though.

    I would love to have one as a novelty item for installing Linux on it, I always thought using Linux on touchscreen is super cool. but it's expensive as fuck
