It's definitely a nice size, just wondering about the usefulness of something that size to work from. Our iPads are mostly for the kids, and Apple has the best kids apps, as far as we've seen, so it's not a direct competitor to replace our iPad 1st gen, for instance, which I feel is on its last legs due to constant kid abuse.
Usefulness - Let's just say if you are "all in" with Microsoft Products and Ecosystems, this is a great second tablet for reading, quick work and more. I got my little girl a Dell Venue 8 Pro for having basically all A's (all 3's in Common Core now) after Kindergarten to be a primary fun/educational device. Didn't last a day until we went back with Kindle Fire HDX and the Excellent Free Time parental settings, which is top in the industry. I say all of that to say this...if you have iPads, stick with them. There is just not enough "touch" kids apps out there.
I actually prefer the Windows Tablet experience to an iPad.
Work - Desktop apps will be a chore, especially with storage. I installed Visual Studio for kicks to a mount point to the MicroSD but it still put at least 6-7 GB of data on the C-Drive.
I will still hold out judgement until I get as few week or so with it...it is great for the price if the Microsoft Environment is what you need...but if you have iPads, keep 'em...
