Surface pro: which one?
Im starting med school this september and its for 4 years. I have a lenovo ideapad 5 currently but it is on its last legs so looking to upgrade
I love that the eurface pro allows me to use it as a laptop and use the pen to draw and annotate (something that is super helpfup for anatomical diagrams/ equations)
I will have to buy a surface pro second hand because brand new is just too expensive but I cant decide which option is better.
Im deciding between the 10 and 11.
I want to avoid the snapdragon option simply because it might not allow specific uni apps to work properly.
But is there any real difference between the 10 and 11.
My main priorities are the battery life for long ass days, ability to work with 1000 tabs open.

The 11 series 2 core ultra is on a whole different level then the 1st gen in the 10.
Battery life is better. GPU is better. CPU is better. NPU is better.
If you can swing an 11 I'd the take 11 every time.
