Sup /g/

Just been brought a Surface pro 4 for work.

Only problem is it's i5 4gb 128gb

Is this thing even going to be usable after a couple of months?

Should I stop being a little bitch and get on with it?

Would it of hurt them to get the 8gb 256gb upgrade.

Opinions

Fuck, i dont think you can even browse facebook with that shit

i never get why most people need more than 100 gb of storage. i just have an external hd that all my archived stuff is on... laptop has some music and current projects. 30gb, that's it

i think the CPU will be outdated before you really need more ram

>work

if you need anything bigger than an i5, 4gb and 128gb for work you shouldnt be working on a tablet computer.

as an accountant i'd love to get my fingers on a surface, but our IT department only buys iphones/blackberries for the middle management while everyone else still slaves away on XP and pentium 4s. we paid 50k € to get the programmers to adapt the corporate software everything in the company runs on towork on fucking XP.

why don't companies just make their software web-based? or even something that installs locally but runs through the browser ... it would make everything completely platform independent

serious question

>why don't companies just make their software web-based

company secrets vs chinese/russian/american hackers and secret services.

the company in work in has a shitty it department but they're still world market leader in the nieche with buttloads of patents and contacts.

You didn't actually state what the problem is

Anything over 128gb i5 is a waste of money and stupid to put in a tablet. Stop being a bitch. You don't need i7 16gb ram 512gb SSD to shitpost on 4chan.

This

Got the sp3 with the specs you mentioned, never got even close to filling it up, I even offload the porn and movies to a 64gb micro sd card.

>>51316453
Huh, is there no 256 GB option? God, how does Microsoft manage to bottle everything so bad.

It's functional but not really a comfortable way to do things. It's amazing how you can keep your music library so small though.

I had an Air with 128GB and while it was okay for work, even with dualbooting Winshit, it compromised the experience. Never again.

Because that's insecure shit meant for plebs to give their data.

>>51317822
Clearly sarcasm but sadly there are really enough idiots picking i7 on such small devices, thinking it will make any difference with the limited TDP.
>>
>>51319169
But there is a 256gb storage option with the i5 + 8gb RAM
>>
>>51319197
So what the fuck is OP bitching about?
>>
Pretty sure anyone using any hardware with a MS logo on it gets 1TB of storage on OneDrive.

Thats my only explanation for my 1tb

>>51319219
He already bought it and would have preferred the larger capacity hdd? He'll if I know just you typical moron.
>>
>>51319219
prob his mommy bought him the wrong option

>why don't companies just make their software web-based
Well many do but only for intranet and it all requires IE for some reason.
>>
>>51316453
Chrome is definitely too much.

You'll have to use edge, extensions soon though.
>>
>>51316453
Eh. I ran an 80GB SSD on my work computer for years with Windows 7. It was fine. Store your media or whatever on the NAS.

That said, your employer could have bought you a fucking incredible desktop for the price of that shitty tablet.
