Good luck. MS tablet is a joke. Bought every single one and taken everyone of them back within 5 days. Skipping on the 9. Problem is the garbage interface and apps not well supporting it.

  1. Keyboard - you have to spend more on this. You’ll notice if in your lap, it’s sucks to type on and wobbles. Then you goto a desk and have to kick out the kickstand and your like wait, a laptop is better.

  2. MS gambled on Win8 and goal was to make everything metro. That failed, as a result the App Store failed. Nothing really takes advantage of the touch well.

  3. It’s overpriced. You can get better specs and like a 3050ti graphics card and find ones super light.

  4. Hardware issues - MS is NOT good if you have problems. Just read horror stories about getting fixed.

It’s weird, I much preferred them back in windows 8/8.1 days where window’s actually was designed for touch, sucks quite a bit now.

Windows 11 is trying but still gets beaten out by the ChromeOS touch mode

Ah yes, because touchscreen laptops have been sooooo useful.

Actually yes. Sure as an adjunct but it's popular for a reason.
