So, I have been playing around with sketchup a little bit on my Surface. At first, it did seem too small to use. But I got used to it, and I could see myself using it for layouts and dimensions on estimates. That way, I wont have to sketch it up free hand and make notes of dimensions (which I always forget to make a note of something). This should save me time, as well as help me with accuracy, as I will be creating the room/ area I'm going to remodel instead of just the notes & transferring it to sketchup later.
A few notes about the surface. The screen seems to periodically change brightness without any reason (although I'm sure there is). The battery died quickly, even though I didn't use it very much yesterday. I took it off the charger in the morning, after its first full charge. I left it at home and went to work. I came home and played on it for an hour or so, and the battery was at 10%. So we will see if that changes
Thanks for the feedback
