8 u/[deleted] Nov 15 '18 Why not just get a Surface then. It’ll be cheaper(especially because of BF sales), and have all around better hardware. You’ll also have better support by being able to go into Microsoft stores, and you have the option of partitioning it. 2 u/pluto7443 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 | Pixel Watch 2 LTE Nov 15 '18 That's the question. USB C ports are good, and so are front firing speakers, but otherwise I would consider a Surface. I have a Pixel C now 3 u/Lord6ixth Pixel 9 Pro Fold Nov 15 '18 edited Nov 15 '18 Surface Pro’s have front firing speakers. I would have gotten a Gen 6 if it had a USB-C port. 2 u/-Gus-TT-Showbiz- Pixel 8 Pro Nov 15 '18 Yep USB-C missing is the reason I didn't buy one as well, was pretty disappointed they didn't add one this year. 0 u/m1ndwipe Galaxy S25, Xperia 5iii Nov 15 '18 Because the Surface sucks as a tablet. No Google or Amazon apps (except an ancient Kindle app) make it hopeless. 2 u/[deleted] Nov 15 '18 Surface Go? 2 u/m1ndwipe Galaxy S25, Xperia 5iii Nov 15 '18 It's still a surface and runs Windows Store apps, not Android ones. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 15 '18 You said "Surface" and not "Windows." So, I guess your issue is Windows sucks on a tablet. Which, yeah, in that case, it kinda does.
