Hi, I wanted to get a Surface Pro 4 for many uses (I'll list them later). However I saw that they were so expensive and it sorta put me off. So I was wondering if you guys and girls could recommend something like the Surface for a lower price.

 

Uses: 

Google Docs, Watching Movies/Videos, Maybe web design and that's about it. 

 

Thanks

 

Movies will mainly be offline

 

Do you play football/soccer?

Whats your budget? Because with the high end surface one I can get a really good gaming laptop that will satisfy your need with also keeping the weight really light.

Cheaper than stock Surface Pro 4, so US$800 and lower

If you need alot of slow storage then here https://goo.gl/RAaLmk   

If you need 256GB of SSD storage then here https://goo.gl/C4MKYk 

You can also get the Zenbook it has lots of SSD storage but its not as fast as the laptops above its also touchscreen https://goo.gl/snIo3g 

Lastly here is another gaming and light choice https://goo.gl/lbFlw1 

 

Hope this helps!
