Had a Surface Pro 1 from work. Had a few serious problems I could deal with and from what I have read Microsoft has fixed. Just got a Surface Pro 3 and the old problems have not surfaced and I did not expect them to. Be sure to get the keyboard. It can be a little hard to type on but better than the screen.
With the pen you can also write on the screen keyboard and your handwriting is changed into type and put into the correct place on the screen. Eliminates pecking each letter on the screen.
I would also get the. pen. I think without it I would have problems just using my figures.

Remember it will run Microsoft Office but it does not come with it. I put an old copy of office that I owned on it and it works fine. I can also run Quicken and Turbo Tax on it. You have to transfer the software from another computer with a disk or make an ISO file since there is no CD drive built in. The price can be high but I wanted to be able to run software programs that ran on my laptop.
