The Microsoft surface is expensive. By the time you add in all of the non
standard equipment it isn't such a deal. They range in price from $800.00 on
up and if I'm not mistaken, that doesn't include a keyboard. They come
with Windows 8 which is a dead operating system. Software developers as well
as hardware manufacturers are not going with it.
I did the beta testing with 8 when it became available and Microsoft didn't
listen to the testers. They basically said that this is what you will get
and like it. (That entire development team is now gone) It's a crappy
operating system for anything other than a touch pad and even that is very hard
to get used to for the average user. I personally use a Lenovo product with
the Android operating system. Thousands of free software choices and I
paid around $150.00 for it. Around Christmas time I spent more time
downgrading other people's Christmas presents from 8 to Windows 7. Most manufacturers
now allow you to order their products with 7 installed at no extra charge.

Check the Surface out, It is a full computer that you can use like a
tablet as well, you will like that much better than the limitations that the
ipad has. My brothers experience with the ipad convinced me that it is not
much more than an entertainment device. And any of the boating specific
applications that the ipad does the Surface can do just as well if not better
because of its full computer status.
