Why do you need a device specifically for social media marketing? What will you be doing exactly. Surface is good as a fully featured yet portable machine, but the ipad is worth considering too if all you need to do is browse websites and apps.

social media marketing = NO PC RIG = Portability

 

IMO you can get an iPad or used Surface Pro 2 with lowest setting?

i'm from Singapore, i can only use SGD to trade local stocks

 

not that i don't want to use USD but why subject myself to FX exposure lol

 

basically this 500USD is free as the company needs to spend 5000SGD to claim a government grant
