As an attorney who bills by the hour, I can tell you that machine has paid for itself. Are there days I wish I had a Surface 4 Pro i7 with a terabyte, 16 gigs of ram? Absolutely! The machine, however, ways no more than iPad and can be both my entertainment when I am not under the gun and a lifesaver when I am. Before this, I took an iPad and only carried the notebook when I knew I might need it. The problem is that life doesn't always cooperate with me that way. I'll go to court expecting to be out in an hour and something will happen that puts me on hold. At that point, I can go and get work done.
People say that the weight differential isn't that great between the two devices. They'll also say that the size difference (when packed) isn't large, but will then say when it is set up the difference is 'enormous." What they don't factor in is a separate power brick, a separate hotspot, etc. My Surface 3 doesn't take much space and I take it pretty much everywhere. So, if you are talking to me, yes I am getting my money's worth.
