Right now all my files are organized in foobar2000. Really considering a chromebook but the indexing of these files worries me. Thinking about this one instead so I can keep my system going:

I'm sure it's great. But I mean this thing is going to mostly be used for watching viral videos on facebook and playing on Pottermore.

Anyone have a surface pro? Reviews?

About 75% of my computer usage could be done on a tablet(Surfing the web) but that other 25%(Actually typing stuff) really needs a keyboard.

You can draw on the screen, and it has a USB.  I say go for it.

Surface Pro, and Surface Pro 2 all had weird issues. 3rd one is better I believe.

I have a surface, and I use it for work and everything else. I have a real keyboard I plug in when I need to type, but I'm using the soft little case keyboard right now. It takes a little getting used to, but I like it better than any laptop.

Dealzmodo is listing a pretty good deal on a lap-tablet if you're just wanting something to BBS from.
