I have an HP spectre x2, Christmas present to myself :-)

its twelve or thirteen inches / screen size diagonal and the quality is astonishing. Really nice Bang and Olafson sound. The 360 is bigger and most cumbersome, I wanted something slim. Not much storage capacity though, so it depends on your planned use. Everybody who sees mine wants it. HP sold out of these before Christmas. I've had every kind of laptop imaginable and this is the best so far, including MacBook Pro. (I have iPads and iPhones but a fan of the computers. The lack of a forward delete feature bothers me as much for its twee absence as the lack of functionality!)

not a fan

I have a Samsung ATIV 500, it runs Microsoft Office so seamless integration with other computers. I used Dropbox for file sharing.

I have a Surface Pro3 at work. I use it pretty much as a laptop, not a tablet but at times it's nice to have the touch screen functionality. I think it would be better for personal use as it doesn't have a network jack, you have to have an accessory to plug it into a projector and it only has one USB port. It's also VERY Microsoft centric - for example you can't change your search engine default to Google. It's somewhat buggy even with Microsoft applications which you'd think would be the one thing they'd get right. I had to return my keyboard under warranty as one of the keys stopped working.

I have considered buying one for personal use but more as a laptop not tablet though I'm not sure how well the keyboard would stay attached if not on a hard surface. I know another person whose Surface was slipping off his lap and he grabbed the keyboard which of course easily detached which resulted in a fatality for Surface. I might rather have a real laptop with a real keyboard.

I use a Ipad mini for my tablet at home and I have a desktop computer for when I want a real keyboard. At some point I will want a laptop type device with a keyboard.

Yes, Maire cate---- it's ridiculous, isn't it?? I don't know if that is something the Apple OS omitted deliberately to distance themselves from Windows or if it is just an example of the typical Apple "we know best, you don't need that" attitude that pervades all their products. Outside of that I don't care for the storage hierarchy either and the OS is so so. (Editing to add that I know the two button workaround and up that in itself is equally ridiculous!)

Gardner, I use Evernote, which is similar to one note. It's very handy for all kinds of projects. That and the workflowy list app/program are my two main organizing programs. I usually use the keyboard but will often just reach out and touch the screen. It couples and uncouples seamlessly.

I have the HP Spectre also and use it for spreadsheet, word processing and photo editing. I love it with the exception of being unable to turn off the touchpad. (I'm bad about resting my hands on the keyboards when I'm thinking.) I use flash drives for large file storage because of the lack of internal storage. That can be a little annoying because of the time it takes to retrieve/store a file.

For daily web surfing, email reading, book reading, game playing and video watching, I use the iPad Pro. The keyboard makes typing a breeze, but as KSWL said, Apple's file management system is poor and Apple products don't integrate with MS apps well, IMO.

Oh, I forgot to say that I use Dropbox for file sharing.

I knew you would know!

I'll take a look at HP and Samsung.

And I completely forgot about Dropbox for this project although I use it often.

kswl, good to know about Evernote. I'm embarking on a complex project and am trying to figure out a way for everyone to be organized and in sync. Some of the group are not computer savvy so I'm trying to find the simplest, most cost effective alternative.

Thank you!

I have onenote on my iPad but haven't used it yet.
