Moderator ventana Posted September 10, 2015 Moderator about to get either surface pro 3 or dell XPS13 now the Ipad PRO comes out......
sas5814 Posted September 10, 2015 I like what I read about the Ipad pro. The price (with all the bells and whistles) was a little off-putting. I just got a Dell 2 in 1 and I'm unimpressed. Admittedly it is a lower end one but it just hasn't been the easy to use combo I thought it was going to be. If you are going to use Win 8 you almost have to have a touchscreen. Win 10 gives you better easier use of the mouse. I don't own a Surface Pro but I have used one and I like it. The problem I have had with touch screens is hitting the sometimes small boxes accurately with a stylus or my finger. I need a mouse and keyboard
cbrsmurf Posted September 10, 2015 Author Yea, the ipad pro is interesting, but I think the ipad software/OS is just too limiting for other applications. Cerner has a decent App for the their idevices, but we need to access radiology from other websites and use Outlook -- which I am afraid an iPad will not do well with. I like that the Surface Pro is basically a PC in tablet form. I was also thinking about the XPS with touch, but I just wish you could fold the screen all the way back. Tried other 2 in 1's, but the touch screen just doesn't work well. The Surface seems to have better touch response/boxes, but small boxes are difficult to press with my finger.
