Surface Laptop elegance when connected with two screens

Head to head, Surface vs iPad

Great summary (below link) and captures my feelings as well, pretty much to a lowercase “t”. Surface is off to a great start but has some work to do. Surface Pro may be the one to watch (and I think had they been released together, it would have been a much better move). Link to …
