Don't buy a Surface 2 or older tablet that has the Windows RT operating system.
Windows RT 8.1 only runs built-in apps or apps that you download from the Windows Store. It cannot be upgraded.
The Surface 3 or higher has Win8.1 or 10. I have a Surface 3 and it'll pretty much do anything a laptop will do with better battery life.
The Surface 3 has the Atom processor which is surprisingly fast and good on battery life. The Surface 3 pro has the i3 or i5 processor which is fast but uses more power.
I have the Surface Pro 3 and love it. It looks like Best Buy will have the Surface 3 for $100 off on Black Friday which will make it hit my $400 target price. I also found out that if she decides to occasionally use a keyboard the one for my Pro 3 will work on it even though it will be larger than the one for the 3. Still looking but the Surface 3 is looking promising.
