Is it worth it to buy an older surface pro? Is there anything similar? I want to produce music on the go.

>>106933200If you want a portable device you also want a good, new battery and the most power efficient hardware possible. So I'd say buying used may not be your best option.
no they are horriblejust get a macbook air or that cheap ipad if youre poorlogic is heavily optimised and garageband is FREEanything else is just going to be picrel since you cant use it off battery for cpu heavy tasks (like music production)
>>106933200I've loved my Surface Pro 7 but I've been sperging out over the fact that it doesn't work well enough on Linux. It's a super convenient device besides the fact that it runs Windows so it sounds like a wind turbine even when it's idle sometimes. I don't know if it's just mine but the noises from the fan sound terrible, that's the worst thing about it for me. But for the five years I've had it there's been no issues, except for near launch when there was a problem with the drivers for the wireless receivers. I don't know if there are any better alternatives. Being able to use a pen while still having the keyboard open is a niche use case I need in every laptop going forward, I need all my laptops to have stands now.
>>106933200I still use a 1st gen surface pro from 2013 or whenever it came out. Still works pretty well. Got it for like $100 used like 5 years ago. Wish I hadn't of bought it honestly because the type cover stopped working and replacements are nearly x2 what I paid for the entire thing. You can't replace the battery easily, the charger is some proprietary shit, etc. You're probably not thinking about buying an old PoS like that though.
>>106933749>Being able to use a pen while still having the keyboard open is a niche use case I need in every laptop going forwardI have a Lenovo convertible with touchscreen and pen.Now that I'm used to it, it's hard to go back indeed.I use it for djing, where a touchscreen is very convenient, and production too.No complaints here.
>I want to produce music on the go.trust me bro. this is all you need.
>>106933200It's shit lol.
