I purchased a Surface 3 and wanted to replace my work laptop. I like the flexibility of Windows 8.1 and the usability of the software. To try it out, I took it on a business trip and gave it a workout. Overall it worked okay, but I had a few key problems that will prevent me from keeping it. First is that the keyboard sometimes "forgets" to work and I had to remove and replace it to get it to work again. This happened 3 times during a customer meeting, once when I way trying to show something. Next problem is that on a plane, the setup does not fit on a tray. When I setup the stand, the footprint is too big. Either you have to type with the keyboard uncomfortably close or move the keyboard away from you and the tablet falls of the back of the tray.
This is too bad because I do like the device, but I can't have an unreliable typing experience and I have to be able to work on a plane. Oh, and I had all the latest updates installed. Anyone else experience this?
