Hey there,
So, I've been chewing on the idea of picking up a new portable setup—thinking either a tablet or maybe a small 14'' laptop—and I stumbled onto a few options. I'm wondering if anyone here has actually spent some real time using any of these:
1. iPad Pro
2. Surface Duo
3. HP Spectre x360
I get that these are three totally different beasts, which is exactly why I'm stuck. They're all sitting in pretty much the same ballpark price-wise, so it's tough to decide which one is worth my money.
Mainly, I’ll be using it for browsing, music, movies, and standard Office stuff (like Word and Excel). If I go the laptop route, I might try running some older, lighter games—maybe something like Baldur's Gate. My biggest concern is future-proofing; I really want something that won't feel like junk in five years. Also, warranty length matters a ton to me—the longer, the better. Since I'm out and about a lot, mobility is huge, and I need solid Bluetooth support so I can stay connected to multiple things at once, like a speaker and my phone simultaneously.
That built-in projector on the tablet seems like an awesome perk for watching movies, but then again, the other two give you that classic, reliable laptop feel.
If you guys have experience with similar gear from other brands, please, let me know what you think.
