I need my laptop for school and it's on it's last leg. It shuts down and sounding really loud. I'm thinking about getting the Surface 2 that runs windows 8 to replace it. I would use it with a keyboard and usb mouse. Is it any good? I don't plan on using games with it, I have an Xbox One for that. It comes with microsoft office programs I believe


I have a surface rt (first gen) and I use it exclusively at work for office / email.  It does everything I need in place of a windows machine (my desktop is centos that I use for programs...etc)

 

Touch keyboard is great and my usb mouse works perfectly.   App store is weak comparatively to android or ipad, but good enough if you don't need games.
