The tablet + laptop combos are pretty nice. I have an older Microsoft Surface Pro for work and it's pretty cool to use, but they are a bit expensive.

What do you normally use your computer for? What kind of games do you play? Graphics cards are an expensive component of your computer and if you don't really game that much on it then you could probably opt to get a lower end one.


I picked up one of the higher speced Surface Pro 5 models (i5 7300, 256GB HD, 8GB RAM) preowned for $430 a year ago. I have to imagine you could get a newer version of it for the same price now.

Not sure you could game on them though given they don't have a graphics card. It can run old stuff on it (like I've run Final Fantasy XI on it) but I'd imagine anything that is like 2010 onwards will run like shit with the internal GPU they have and what I have to imagine is minimal cooling capacity

That being said for non gaming I'd recommend it. My gaming laptop hasn't left the house since I bought it and I usually take the Surface Pro with me every day when I'm working
