What distro did you use, and how did it go? Edit: I've pulled the trigger on a Surface Pro 4. I'll make a new post in a week with my early impressions, which distro I've gone with, etc etc etc.

The Wi-Fi doesn't work at all in my experience and the touchscreen feels very cheap (usually must tap my finger several times before it registers the touch). permalink fedilink source parent [–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml [S] 2 points 2 years ago Ah, but I got a surface pro 4 i5, 8gb, for £90. With keycase and charger. I was looking at a pinetab 2, but it would have run me a bit more than that.... permalink fedilink source parent
