Definitely iPad Pro - I love the surface, but my only device apart from phone is the iPad and it’s the best computer I’ve had for general computer use... granted it still isn’t awesome for MS Office stuff, but it’s gradually improving there - for what you said I think the iPad would be great

Good choice op. You’ll enjoy it.

Go to Best Buy and play around with them for a while to figure out which one you like using more.

My boyfriend is a tech nerd and loves his surface pro. It functions as a real computer as well, unlike iPad

You mentioned You’re looking for a device for recreational and note taking. Have you ever used windows in tablet mode before? The experience is unpleasant. My friend is a PM at Microsoft and he got a top of the line surface pro that costs 3k+ and he hated using it in tablet mode. My work computer is a Dell 2 in 1 with a magic pen. I wish I could love the device but using it in tablet mode is a no-no. As a laptop, the surface you’re looking to buy doesn’t have good specs either. The iPad, at least is good at being a tablet. Just my 2-cents. I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to go with.

I honestly believe tablets are so good now most people can use them as their everyday personal device. Most not all people don't need the functionality of a desktop. So when you think about it as a replacement $1000 doesn't seem so bad. But if you are only using it as a supplement it can be a steep price.

I second surface

Thanks friends! Yeah the surface is $700 (i5 8 ram 128ssd) vs the 64gb iPad Pro 11 that’s running about $750-$780 which is just a tablet. My only concern was writing with the pen and ease of use aspect of the iPad but seems like the surface is a better bang for your buck

Op - just got an Ipad pro 11 inch, wifi only, 256gb on sale from bestbuy for 625 before taxes. You’ll need to sign up for a student discount which doesn’t require edu account. This is a great deal if you are still in the market

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren

Tax question - I make about $200k and get half of my income from a W-2 and another half from being an independent contractor. Because, I’m subject to pay both FICA and SECA taxes. Do my social security taxes get capped on amounts paid above the ~$140k threshold across both my W-2 and 1099 incomes or am I out of luck and have to pay more than that since only about 100k of my income is FICA and the other 100K is SECA (which is subject to ~12% overall including the ER portion)?
