I think you made a wise choice, Robert. I bought the 128GB i5 model and immediately bought a 128GB microSD card. I am using mine as a traveling laptop, so I have Office on it, WordPerfect, Sibelius, Finale and a bunch of other stuff. I keep my data files on the microSD card and keep the programs in the main storage. And I agree that the Pro model is the better one to get for musicians because reading PDFs of music is much easier with the larger screen. I don't know what Microsoft has done that Apple can't seem to do, but the battery life on the Surface is much much better than on my iPad. My one regret with the Surface is that the developers of ForScore, the music reading app that I use on my iPad have clearly stated that they will not be developing a Windows version. Ever. So I'm stuck using MusicReader on the Surface -- it's fine for the display of the music, turning pages, etc., but their library management isn't nearly as good as ForScore, in my opinion. Enjoy your SurfacePro when it arrives, Robert! And to get the most out of StaffPad, practice, practice, practice! It gets easier to get the notation entered with time. And you'll develop a workflow that works best for you, as we've all done with Finale and Sibelius. -- David H.
