This is tax free weekend so I upgraded my iPad 9 to a Microsoft Surface Pro 11 with a Snapdragon 3.2 ghz processor,and a 13 inch Oled screen.

The OS is Windows 11 Home and it has 16 gb of ram.

The only thing I dislike is the blasted on board virtual keyboard. I can type approximately 85 wpm with no mistakes on a normal keyboard. With this virtual keyboard I type approximately 8 wpm. Needless to say this will ne a very abbreviated article. It may be my shortest article to date.

This Surface Pro is larger than the iPad that only had a 10 inch screen. That means the Surface Pro is a device that requires 2 hands. The Oled screen is a thing of beauty. My Dell laptop I bought last year has an Oled touch screen as well.

I must say that the Snapdragon processor is very responsive.

I compared the Surface Pro with the iPad Air and I decided to go with the Surface Pro because I mostly live in a Wimdows ecosystem. I can run the same apps on the Surface Pro as my Dell which has Winows 11 Home.

I think I have back spacced and corrected mistakes about 20 times now.

I ordered a nice case and a Surface Pro bluetooth keyboard. The case will protect my investment from accidental drops. The kb will increase my typing speed exponentially. It seems that errors happen in between words when I hit the space bar.

I was able to pair my Bose bluetooth earbuds with the Surface Pro and they paired with no problem.
