One of the reasons why Stannis , Tywin and a few other characters are so interesting is that we can only guess what ' s going on inside their minds . There are also characters like Littlefinger and Varys , who simply know too much . <| sep |> Honestly for general browsing and notetaking , the Surface Pro 4 is massive overkill . What you should be looking at is a Chromebook of sorts . Long battery life , big screen and keyboard . Unfortunately I can ' t make any suggestions on what Chromebook cause I never researched the options . I would urge you to have a look at them and seriously question yourself ' what do I really need ? '. You need to avoid the urge to buy something because it looks fancy and because of what it can do . It ' s all about what you need it to do . Other than that , the Surface series are definitely great machines , but not for everyone .
