Conceptually speaking, the Microsoft Surface Pro might be the leading example of what modern computing has become, with many users not needing a full-fledged desktop setup, and others requiring just a bit more than what your average tablet can provide. The Surface Pro, now in its sixth iteration, is an interesting in-between option that may be perfect for many of today’s workers. I’m not exactly an average user, however, since I often use
