Tablet PC/Laptop

[Heesleemer]

I have a very niche use case - coaching. I want to be able to record and show my players real time - then be able to use some form of light video editor (or I can use my subscription of Adobe CC) to cut clips, slow motion, color correction, texts, arrows, etc. to post up on our social media accounts - all out on the field. 

I've been using an older ipad which is fine - but would like a larger and brighter screen (without going ipad pro) with a good enough rear facing camera. 

Yes I can carry my GH5 or even my lumix point and shoot and connect it up to my laptop - but that defeats the quick immediate live feedback for my players (as well as I can't easily move around the field) 

I'm willing to go ipad pro if need be... but also would like other options, Huawei's windows tablet pc would be perfect if it had a rear facing camera, a lot of tablet PC's rear facing camera just are not good enough (or if you know of some please post), and the only major option i see are the Surface book and the Surface pro... What are my other options?

... not sure if this goes into laptop or tablet subforum.... but you get the point

oooo the battery life pleases me - i tend to leave coaching stuff in a bag - so doesn't get charged all the time

I was going to recommend Surface products but from what I heard, they have reliability issues.

Yeah just listed that as an alt to Surface Pro since it offers quad core plus accessories are included and Dell always has sales

I don't know that there is a Tablet 2-1 with great battery anyways, kind of the compromise you make going with this form factor

so go for the first product, not the knock off?

I wish the camera on the knock off Linus recommended (Cheaper one  blanking on name) was better

thanks to all - ended up going with a 2017 surface pro - got stuck between that and a surfacebook - but the surfacebook is so close but not where I want it to be (for the cost) - hopefully next gen surfacebook will convince me otherwise!!
