Surface pro does look pretty neat and as you say can run lightroom and photoshop on it...
Could be a game changer, I know a lot of photographers are excited by it and it come with intel i5 and 4gb I believe...

I can't remember the number of times people have asked me when they saw me using my Galaxy Tab knowing full well that it isn't an iPad: "Is that an iPad?" LOL
Things get a bit complicated when you want to view edit and create Word documents but both should be able to do so (by purchasing third party apps).

Why? Why can't someone show clients photos on another brand of device?

I guess those are the same clients who ask you: "Is that a Canon?"

You can! Of course you can! But in my experience, I will recommend the iPad. The Nexus 10 a close second. Once Samsung releases a 2560x1600 Galaxy Note Tablet, then that's when I'll be moving away from the iPad, probably.

The iPad presents images far better than any other tablet on the market.

iPad - we've wasted almost a year trying to get any satisfactory use out of it.
Doesn't like file transfer from a PC, won't communicate with a Kodak wifi printer (except for printing pictures) - won't print emails at all.
All in all struggling to find out what on earth it does do well (that we would like it to do)
Dropbox works when it feels like it (maybe if I paid the monthly subscription it might (just might) work better).
Have no trouble whatsoever with a laptop; my sons samsung phone; and a tablet belonging to a neighbour (can't remember what name it has on it).
regards
Bernard

Simpltransfer is great for transferring from pc to iPad
I can print to my brother printer fine with the brother app
Never have an issue with Dropbox or MS Skydrive
I don't recall being able to print on my android tablet
I agree file transfer is easier on the android tablet than iPad but once you use Simpltransfer life becomes easier.

Archos does a tablet that has USB (among others) inputs... I'm thinking that it would make it easier to get photos on to it when on location (this needs checking out)... And with snapseed now availible for android it seems like a sensible alternative to the big two (ipad and samsung galaxy)...
I do like the kindle fire HD's speakers though... Far better sound than any other tablet I'v seen...

I would recommend either a Slate or other Windows tablet. You get full-blown Windows which means Photoshop (or whatever you prefer) SD, USB and everything else that makes a computer a computer.
There's nothing wrong with iPads or Android tablets, they just don't do very much.
No argument from me. Makes perfect sense

When you say the iPad or android tablet can't do very much in which way do you mean?

I'm delighted with my Archos 80 Turbo. It has a micro-SD socket and a micro-USB connection, which I use use to port images from SD cards into the machine through a mysterious "On the Go" (OTG) cable. I've also fitted the optional 3G adapter (or dongle, as people still insist on calling it). Comparing images with pals who swear by iPads, I can't see much difference, to be honest. And certainly not enough to justify the difference in price. But there again I don't have to pander to the quirks of big-paying customers.

I use a Sony pad. It has a full size SD/SDHC slot and mini USB jack. The pictures are looking very good on it. And the SD card can be used as a memory extension on it.

Then again, that's like twice the price so it's still iPad for me!
(Unless Google releases SnapSeed for Android, then it's the Nexus 10)
