I’m looking into a new tablet and it seems like grabbing a surface is a more affordable option to an iPad or other high end tablet. I can grab a decent one on marketplace for under $200 us. Is it worth it?

    I’ve been running EndeavourOS on my my SP4. It works great with the custom Surface kernel.

    Don’t buy a 4 - it has heat problems and a shitty power circuit. As long as you get a 5 or newer, it should run great.

      For this form factor in general, once the fan breaks and it will break eventually, it is an expensive repair, but it is so noisy it will be unusable.
