Ok, a hypothetical. Valentine's Day coming up and my wife who is very non-technical has (1) mentioned a surface in the last few months and she never mentions things like that, (2) has developed a strong dislike for Apple (the company) and has no desire for an iPad or iPhone, (3) was raised on PC's and Windows and does not adjust to change in that regard. Let's say that she already has a laptop that is relatively new, but she spends a lot of time on the couch and doesn't take the laptop off the dock, and might enjoy having a tablet next to her on the couch.

Now the question. Should I get her one, and if so, which one?




You sure she'd like something that heavy? Why not a low-weight Android tablet that can mirror her PC so she can do Windows without Windows on the tablet?
