Microsoft's cheapo Surface: Like a netbook you can't upgrade

Re: Nothing wrong with a netbook

Still got my old Acer Aspire netbook running in the sitting room for basic stuff, got an SSD in and 8GB ram. Windows 10 runs* and it does enough for the time being.

It'd do better with a *nix OS but there are not drivers for the wifi and my skills don't extend to making my own.

If nothing else it gets me RDP'd to a fairly powerful VM running on a microserver somewhere in a cupboard, but I wouldn't want to have to use it for anything.

*kinda.
