SP3 has worked for us as well. We've used the softwareon a Thinkpad Yoga and it was OK. The main issue was the laptop itself and wonderful Win 8. Battery life was not great either . We'll see if Win 10 is better.

Works great. I would recommend getting an external USB hub that you can velcro to it. I find that the USB port is a little finicky. If I nudge the USB adapter I sometimes have issues causing me to restart Ekahau. I use the pen during the survey and found it much more useful than using a trackpad or your finger. I don't use the keyboard attached to the surface during surveys. I also recommend using a bluetooth or USB mouse for analyzing the survey while at your desk. I still haven't gotten used to using the removable keyboard/cover we got with it.

I'm looking at a Surface Pro 3, but I wonder if the Pro 2 would be sufficient. Of course, I'll take cheaper alternatives if there are any!
