    The Bluetooth keyboard I have is quite compact, and I try to avoid wireless adapters if a bluetooth accessory is available as it leaves the single usb socket free for adding/offloading files, so I'm...

    I've been using xara on a surface pro for a while and I find it really good. The smallness of user interface icons takes a bit of getting used to but pinch to zoom works for scaling the drawing in...
