Help me make a choice here...
I've read and heard more and more about Windows 10's streaming capabilities with the Xbone, and it sounds amazing. I read in an interview that Microsoft is looking into supporting the streaming feature across different networks, which is huge. Failing that, there have been people much smarter than me that have devised ways using VPNs to do this already.
Now, with that in mind, I'm torn between getting just a cheap laptop loaded with Win 10, or a Surface 3. The portability is mainly what I'm going after, as I already got a couple desktops.
I'd mostly use my laptop\Surface for streaming, Adobe programs (CS5.5, so something outdated and lighter than the newest stuff), and the occasional Steam game. What should I do here?
I like the Surface because it'll probably be slightly more powerful than whatever laptop I would get, but that isn't definite. I also like how I can have it turn into a regular tablet whenever I want basically buy removing the keyboard. It just seems like it may be more versatile.
A laptop would be easier for me in terms of familiarity, though, and I could put DVDs into it's disc drive and watch the movies I have. Also, it would be a lot cheaper.
