I tried importing pdfs into OneNote, and that didn't work very well. I use Drawboard for everything - it stutters with larger documents sometimes, but it's better and more stable than OneNote for PDFs. I rarely print papers I'm reading, documents that I need to comment on, or most forms. My printing has reduced by a HUGE amount. My SP3 still consistently gets about 6 hrs of battery life, which is plenty for me. The SP3/SP4 will have a much longer battery life in tablet-only mode, and be much lighter.

The Surface Book was tempting, but the lightness and flexibility of the Pro still wins out for me, for many of the same reasons as the OP. I used it first as a PhD student, and now as faculty.

I'm an academic using the Surface Pro 3 for the past 2 and a half years (since it came out, basically). Still, as a former user of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and other pen-computer systems, this is the first one that makes me actually want to shed paper records. But in OneNote a swipe of the eraser deletes instead of tapping individually.

In Drawboard PDF for example, I can erase a drawing by tapping it with the eraser on the back of the pen. It occaisionally unpairs from the device but gets fixed with a battery reseating, and consistency of the experience varies app to app.

Draw Mode seems un-useful to me, and the pen software is variable in functionality. I do have a couple hardware complaints: The Clipboard battery is great for a 1-2 hour meeting, but beyond that I really need a charger or the keyboard to keep it chugging. When I need to cite these articles later, they should be easy to find too. I am importing every PDF I get into Endnote, which I then have backed up on a business drive, so the notes and PDFs will basically never be lost to me. The software itself is remarkably user friendly for notetaking and highlighting, and coupling it with a good file organizing system is definitely going to be useful for mainting my notes for the future. While the software does occasionally make the PDF fuzzy and unreadable for about 2 seconds, the fequency of these interruptions is completely tolerable. The Surface has solved both these issues with Drawboard PDF. If my home printer is out of ink I have to read it on a laptop screen and ergonomically, that is not optimal. If I read an article but leave it at home for a discussion, I can get the article but don't have my notes. There is something else that I was not sure the Surface would be able to do, but now I know it does:ДЄ major part of my work involves reading and absorbing information from scientific literature, and keeping up with paper copies has always been a pain. My previous computer was a 13 inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display, and I can confidently say this: When it comes to productivity needs, Microsoft has absolutely nailed the Surface Book.ДЄs an academic-oriented business user (Postdoctoral Research Assistant), there are a few things I need a laptop to do: My model is the i5 with dGPU and 256 gb, which has been on the market for over a year now. I had the opportunity to select a new laptop for work and selected the Surface Book.
