Surface pro is a laptop replacement, iPad is a portable tablet. I think it's a mistake to conflate the two

I was waiting on the announcement to decide whether to get that or the Surface Pro and ended up going with the Surface. Not enough bang for the buck, plus you've really just got a large powered-up iPhone instead of a full-fledged OS. Was tempted, though; the thought of using it as a secondary monitor in the office was appealing.

Absolutely!!!!!!

Full disclosure: I just went through this decision this weekend and bought the new iPad Pro 10.5inch

Decision process was: 1) I want something super portable 2) I don't plan on doing any excel modeling on it and 3) if I'm going to get something, l may as well get the more powerful version so that it's not antiquated in 6 months

Just upgraded iPad Air 2 to 10.5 pro. The extra screen real estate is fantastic and the Smart Keyboard is a game changer

Hello, does anyone work as an auto underwriter for insurance? I recently got accepted for an internal job position and was offered $50k. I’m currently a claim processor making $20/hour so the offer is more than what i’m making but is low in comparison to the average salary for an auto underwriter in AZ (which is around $58k). I believe because the company knows how much i’m making they lowballed me. Any tips on how to navigate the salary negotiation and can u share ur salary ?

Do you lose unemployment benefits after you receive a job offer but before you start? I know it may vary by state, but haven't found anything specific (MA).

They ask if you have an offer, and I know looking for a job is a requirement to receive benefits, so wondering if saying I have an offer and no longer looking would disqualify me.
