I have:
1. A Dell Core i5 Desktop
2. A Samsung Galaxy Tab (original version)
3. A couple of Android phones (one on AT&T and the other on Sprint)
3. An Asus netbook which runs my home automation system.
and most recently
5. A Samsung ATIV Smart PC (Windows 8 Standard running on an Intel Atom 32 bit processor)
Before getting my ATIV, I was on my desktop daily for a minimum of an hour, and sometimes several hours a day. And the Tab for what I needed more portability. Since getting the ATIV my desktop has been having abandonment issues, it’s lucky to see a half hour of use a couple times a week. And I’m not quite sure why I still have the Tab.
One of my phones is a phone, and the other provides internet to the ATIV, since AT&T’s connectivity sucks in my workplace.
It’s just too much hassle to get up from my layback chair and walk all the way to the computer room and wait a couple of minutes to boot up instead of just grabbing the ATIV and doing whatever I need to do.
I know the ATIV is not a Surface Pro, but its larger screen is a blessing to my ancient eyeballs, and does everything I need it to. Besides, it’s about $400US cheaper, and the battery is phenomenal.
