Microsoft Surface Pro 2 256GB i5-4300U with Type Cover and Freedom Case bundle

Good balance between processing power and portability
My only complaint about this computer is that the track pad on the type cover isn't very sensitive. Scrolling is jumpy, and it's hard to click and drag things without the item you're dragging getting dropped before you let go of the track pad. It's better to use the pen or an external mouse for dragging, and it's better to use a mouse for the pen tool in Illustrator.
But I love everything else. The build quality is solid; it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. Windows 10 runs great on this machine, and so do my Adobe CC apps. Video editing with Premier works great on this machine, except it complains about the screen resolution, so I use an external monitor for that. But that's pretty much the one thing I use an external monitor for--that and testing desktop-sized websites. The built-in screen is really nice for everything else. I like typing on the type cover; the back lighting is really good and the keys are nice and springy. The pen is fun to use, especially with OneNote and Illustrator. The Surface Pro 2 is also easier to carry around than a laptop, and the extra USB port on the charging block is a nice touch; I don't have to carry a separate phone charger.
This machine is my daily driver now; it does everything I want it to do, and it replaced both my iPad and laptop, which is nice because I don't like switching between separate devices. I love having something that runs both desktop apps and tablet apps harmoniously. Fantastic device overall!
The model I have has a 1.9-2.5 GHz dual-core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage, if that helps.

The Dell Latitude D830 only does everything!
This is my D830's configuration: Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 GHz, 4 GB of DDR2 RAM, 160 GB HDD, DVD/RW drive, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M graphics, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I'm the kind of person who prefers to use one computer for everything, as opposed to using multiple computers for different purposes. My Dell Latitude D830 has flawlessly handled everything I've thrown at it; including games, video/photo editing, music, homework, experiments, and my work. This notebook is also durable, solid, and easy to carry around, making it a perfect partner in crime. I'm very happy with it; it's the best computer I've had. It pulls out all of the stops and leaves nothing to be desired.
