Halo, thinking to get a laptop with pen, comparing xe700 with surface pro, any suggestion? Surface pro i think 2399 n this i found selling 2280 in lowyat.
Apart from the obvious size/weight and format issues (surface smaller/lighter and more tab-like, xe700 more laptop), I've read that it's possible/easy to upgrade the ssd and wireless card in the xe700 if needed.
I've been using the xe700 for a few months and it performs well as a laptop - light, good keyboard/trackpad, nice screen, front speakers, and on the lap it's never hot as the battery and processor are in the screen section, not on your lap. I'm not a gamer.
As a tablet, it's just a little too bulky/heavy, but it's good to be able to use onenote with a pen (I'm not an artist so can't comment) and as a tablet once in a while.
I've not lived with a surface so won't comment (as too many people comment without living with a gadget).
I'm not sure if similar quality laptops (screen quality and processor) are available at the price, let alone the convertible/pen features.
