It's that time. It's nearly past time. But with MS offering $100 to upgrade, I'm thinking of applying it to the SP2.
What I'd like to hear is from folks who use the SP2 as a desktop.
I plan to get the docking station and the Type Cover. I already have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor (ASUS ProArt, IPS). My most intensive use is RAW photo image processing.
What is it like to mix the SP2 w/ a non-touch monitor? Will I be obligated to be in Desktop mode like that?
What do folks do for optical media? USB based DVD writer?
Would I be better off with a "traditional" desktop + something like the Nokia 2520 (winRT) for the tablet use model? (Though I really just want a WiFi tablet - can tether to my Lumia for internet when not at home...)
I do have elementary school aged kids who are going to be pining more for online access...
Thanks for your opinions.
