Well Windows 10 and indeed Windows days for me are numbered. Wasn't so much the software but the paucity of decent small PCs to support windows
One iPad Pro being set up as I type. It will of course not go as well as I hope but then Win 10 didn't either
I'm loving my Asus laptop with Win 10 now... Can't imagine ever going back to a desktop or buying another tablet...
My new phone (phablet really) gives a pretty good mobile experience to complement it...
Twas a bit of an impulse but they just don't make notebooks like this one anymore but it's struggling with bust USB ports etc however in a way buying the iPad is all down to the late Dan Gurney

My brother tells me his obit in Autosport is excellent (it is) but I don't buy Autosport but I remembers I did sign up to the every magazine you've ever thought Readly service for my hols and never used it as it's crap on the phone and notebook. So thinks I read it on Mrs K's vintage iPad and bloody hell it's very good. Read loads of stuff - Autosport of course but also What Car and Spectator.
So [digression mode off] just had to have one
And the Readly service I was going to kill off will be around a fair bit longer. Suggest give it the free month trial.
Well a few days later I wish I’d gone for a surface PC. As with everything the devil is in the detail and the detail is so much better with Windows
Does the iPad support Microsoft Office? Yes but only if you only use the features you get in the free office packages. So what’s the point Microsoft/Apple?
So far it doesn’t do for Excel:
- copy Excel sheets inside workbooks
- rename said sheets
- edit/add conditional formatting
for Powerpoint:
- A4 paper size
- Entering shapes with exact sizes so I couldn’t use it to draft out the new bathroom design
for Google Search:
- search by custom date range (but Bing does so maybe Google can go sling their hook)
I can see Mrs K having this iPad (hers is over 5 years old) and me buying a £mega Surface PC before the year is out
Anyway in short beware buying what appears to be brilliant (and in some ways it is) and is highly rated in those professional reviews that only look at the obvious features
Not exactly a
but a definite
