Laptop question

Published

Hi, I will be starting the program in fall. I am definitely due for a new computer. I cannot decide on the new Surface laptop or a Surface pro... I love the laptop its so nice I do not love the surface pro as much but do any of you see a need ( as a nurse student)to have the surface pro where it can be used as a tablet if needed.

Thanks

Last summer I purchased a Surface 3 in anticipation of going back to school to finish my prereqs and I found it incredibly helpful for professors who use power points for lecture. With the Surface you're able to have the powerpoint open and write any additional notes write on the slide. For me this gives the benefit of actually writing the notes out (I learn best by writing and not typing) but also the benefit of having your notes digital. You may want to look into the Surface Book as it has the best of both the Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop.

How's your battery life?? Hasenjess

That's what's been stopping my purchase of a surface. That rhyme though. Lol

For what I use my surface for at school it easily lasts over 8 hours. Which mostly includes taking notes with the pen and between classes I'll work on discussion posts plus any research or web use. I commute to and from school and I've never had an issue if I forget the charger at home.

Thank you for the answer I think I'll go with a surface 3 as well! I was worried about battery, but now I feel reassured!
