Hi and welcome to the //TABS section of my website. Here you can order a refurbished or ex-display tablet computer. By the end of this write up you will have a better understanding of what this page is about.
I initially set up a deal with Apple and have been selling iPads, MacBooks and peripherals for two years. In that time I have only sold three MacBooks and a whopping twenty three iPads that sparked the change to the page. People love tablets and I understand why. They are as convenient as a mobile phone but with a nicer display size - making them more popular in recent years.
Back in 2022 while helping some homeless people in Germany, one of the guys noticed I had a MacBook Pro, iPad mini, iPhone 5 plus a modem to connect to my Windows laptop in the apartment for engine tuning.
He looked at the plethora of gadgets and started to laugh.. then he told me what I am doing is stupid and a complete waste of money. Unlike your usual Apple consumer I didn't start sweating and getting defensive - I listened to what he had to say.
What he said was correct. I looked online to sell the MacBook Pro, and after that I got rid of every other Apple device that I owned.
For one year I have ran my business with just a Surface Pro tablet and a Nothing Phone 1. The phone is used as my modem and supplies high speed internet all day long.

The Surface Pro is a fully functioning tablet computer from Microsoft. I had no idea they existed until last year. There was a music production video on YouTube, and the producer bought Surface Pro to replace his iPad Pro. That same day he said it replaced both his iPad Pro AND his brand new 16" MacBook Pro.
I was intrigued at the fact that one slim and lightweight device could replace his Apple setup.
The downside to Apple MacOS, iOS and even Android OS is that I was unable to use applications that are needed in the real world of work. Especially with something like engine software tuning - Windows is the standard and always has been.

The Surface Pro has an intel i5 processor and 8GB RAM. The internal SSD has 256GB of memory and has an SD card slot for additional storage. I always opt for the fastest SD card as possible to reduce read and write times.
It is an incredible device and I have installed all needed apps to run my business. When I finish working on a car for example I can get straight back to music production on the same device. I could be sat in Starbucks for example and while working online, it is easy to stop and work on engine software with my other app waiting in the background.

The Surface Pro model has no internal fans. There is a heat sink and cooling ports at the top and on each side of the device yet it is still incredibly fast and responsive. After one year of testing it is definitely faster than the iPad mini and runs smoother than the M1 MacBook Pro that I had.
This seems insane given the price difference. The MacBook Pro cost £1250, and the Surface Pro that I am currently typing on cost just £350 a really good company in Germany. I was offered £700 for the MacBook Pro, and when they received it they sent me a little extra because it was in such good condition.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these you can contact me by clicking the instagram tab at the top of this page. Alternatively please send an email - I always respond on the same day or following morning.
These computers currently cost between £300-350 and they do need power to work. This is a shortfall of intel processors but you can use it for light tasks without having to connect to the charger. When I am tuning car engines it isn't on charge and I've not had a problem with it.

I am using the same device that I bought in November 2022. I have looked at upgrades but I just don't need it. This thing is fast.. Lightning fast and it has never slowed down when I put it under strain. A great computer, and when mine dies I will upgrade to another Surface Pro.
