i got a used microsoft surface for around 300 on offerup. here is my review

the stand is extremely sturdy. it's as stiff as ever after 6 months of using it every day. i'm honestly amazed

It's very sturdy in general. i've dropped it several times with no cracks. i think it has some kind of aluminum frame

it runs full windows which means it can run krita, photoshop, whatever you want instead of finding bad replacements

the os is garbo, obviously. it gave me WerFault 0xc000012d when i tried to use the included voice support. touch support is an afterthought. i just uninstalled all the windows app poo poo and it works fine

i had to install a third party driver to get pressure sensitivity on the pen to work because of some sort of dispute with the pen manufacturer (?)

it's a bit heavy

it can run 2d games such as ck3 or roguelikes, but you'll want the charger connected. 3d is out of the question

it can do most shaders on shadertoy at 5-30fps full screen but becomes a heater. it has no fans

battery life is chill

overall i am glad i bought it because of the full os support and the pressure sensitive pen, plus it was much cheaper than an ipad.

overall: 7/10
