Thanks, Darcy. I hadn't even thought of that because I had no interest in pads until Staffpad came out. previously I had an ASUS notebook with a touchscreen, which is halfway like a pad. The Surface with keyboard cover is really nice.
Now that you mention it, I do remember that the 3 has only been advertised recently. That explains the better speakers, I think. One normally assumes the model XYZ Pro is better than the plain model XYZ, but it is not clear cut in this example. I love this pad. I think Microsoft really got it right this time. I still mainly use desktops, but I use the pad for lots of stuff, I have LibreOffice on it for any kind of document work. I use Evernote, which is integrated with my desktop and phone. And I use the pad now for any music running through the PA system before shows or during breaks. As it is a full function Windows machine, it has the full Media Player, so it is good for playing MIDI files, which I have done in a few solo or duo gigs. Re: Staffpad, there was a new release last week, which seems nice. It is coming along impressively. I still find it too poor on recognition for me to use regularly, but I think that will come.
