My oldish HP laptop (they call it a notebook) weighs in at around 5 1/2
lb but it has a 15" screen, DVD re-writer, USB, SD/multi card slot,
ethernet, 802.11n wireless, bluetooth, hdmi, 700Gb hybrid ssd/hd (my
mod), Oh and a keyboard/ mousepad ... I'll take a bit of convincing
that I'd be better off with a tablet + ext. DVD + ethernet adapter +
ext. keyboard + ext. hard drive.
ymmv of course <g>

I bought a surface 2 pro. Nice little box.
Has windows 8.1 pro in it. Has a micro sd card slot and a USB 3.0 port. No DVD
burner but I bought an LG $25 external for it. I also bought a powered USB 4
port hub, Ethernet adapter, lit external keyboard with touch pad and a 1TB
external hard drive for it.
It runs VFP 6 and 9 great. Not sure about 2.6 as Windows 7 did not run 2.6 exe's
I think the surface 3 has been announced. I think the display is bigger.
I bought the 256gb ssd version. The touch screen works great. And at around 2
pounds (3with all my extras) it beats running around with a 6 pound monster.
Just a thought. But if 2.6 does not run it would not be for you.

I am tired of the weight of my laptop.
I keep it because:
- DVD Drive
- UBS Ports
- Uses Windows OS
- I have many Windows applications and don't want to buy new ones
- Office 2003
- Quicken
- Foxpro 2.6a
- And such like
I am interested in a lighter and smaller machine that does the above.
What do you suggest I consider?
Thank you
