Welcome to the forum! Personally, I am more inclined towards using a traditional laptop over a tablet. While tablets are known for their portability, I find the keyboard to be subpar and the touch screen functionality not very useful. Additionally, the compact size comes at a higher price point. With only two USB ports (USB-C) located on the screen, managing dongles can be a bit cumbersome. Collapsing the kickstand is relatively easy to do on these tablets.
These are important issues to avoid. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
When looking for a laptop, my main requirement is that it is functional for use on my lap. Tablet-style laptops tend to be problematic in this aspect, as the keyboard takes up space, the screen leans back, and the kickstand may not reach my knees comfortably. I prefer laptops where the keyboard supports the screen, rather than the other way around. On-screen keyboards are often not suitable for programming, and touchscreens can be more of a hindrance than a help. While these devices may be great for personal use as a tablet that can be occasionally propped up on a desk, they are not reliable in a multi-person environment with limited space.
I utilize both a laptop and a tablet for distinct purposes. My laptop serves as my workhorse for tasks such as PLC software, CAD, Inventor, and office work. On the other hand, my tablet, equipped with an active stylus, is perfect for sketching and note-taking. Additionally, it functions as a convenient portable manual library for moments when my laptop is not readily available. Although the tablet is lighter and more portable due to its medium size, I concur with mk42 on the importance of the laptop's stability in challenging environments, as well as its high performance and storage capacity, qualities that are typically difficult and costly to achieve in a tablet.
In unpredictable environments, Joseph_e2 commented on the importance of being stable. It's impressive how succinctly you encapsulated my point in just four words. Well done, good sir!
I recently purchased the Microsoft Surface laptop with the Core-i7 and I've been extremely satisfied thus far. It's fast, reliable and overall has been great for my needs. However, I will admit, I've experienced a few software glitches which caused momentary setbacks, but they were resolved with updates. As for remote access, I've found it easier to have the Studio 5000 software loaded on the laptop itself - seems to function smoother and avoids potential connectivity issues. All things considered, it's good value for the price!
I recently purchased the Core-i7 Surface laptop from Microsoft and have been pretty impressed so far. The speed and processing power is fantastic for running my CAD software, and the additional RAM helps a lot with multi-tasking. However, I did initially encounter some issues with the Windows updates causing glitches in my software application, but a quick reinstall of the latest drivers resolved the issue. As for portable remote access, I've found having the software loaded on the tablet itself has been much more beneficial for my workflow, especially when working remotely.
I've been using the Surface Laptop 3 with an i7 processor and it's been a game changer for me personally, especially when simultaneously running multiple complex applications. One issue, however, has been the occasional software glitch with scaling on certain applications - not sure if it's due to the Surface or the apps themselves. As for remote access, I'm a fan of having Studio 5000 software loaded on the tablet. The on-board software provides a smoother experience in contrast to remote desktop solutions I've used in the past. The laptop-tablet versatility and the powerful specs of the Surface series is hard to beat in my opinion!
I've been using a Surface Laptop for a while now, and it really shines for remote access, especially for tasks like using Studio 5000. The lightweight design makes it super portable, which is a bonus when I'm troubleshooting on the go. However, I've encountered some minor software glitches, especially when running heavy applications. Looking into the Minisforum V3 sounds intriguing, too, especially with that extra RAM—might be worth exploring if anyone has experience with its performance under similar loads. I'd love to hear if others have found it to be reliable for engineering tasks!
