I got one of these (Pro 1) about 2 years ago and got the Pro 3 just 3 months ago. We are an IT provider so it is important to put on a good show and walk into a meeting flashing a snazzy new tablet around and wowing the crowd. (I suppose…) I liked my Dell laptop and was a bit resistant to this but after about 2 days – this thing rocked! It weighs less, connects to everything, runs all the full-version Windows apps, battery life is easily managed as it has a solid state drive and goes to sleep/wakes like a champ. I can dictate, type, handwrite, snap a pic, mouse, touch, swipe, gesture… The list goes on.

Read MoreMicrosoft CRM on the Edge
Can I get CRM to run faster? I typically hear this from clients who run older versions of CRM using Internet Explorer. There are many factors that can play into this lag time, but the most likely culprit is the web browser. I know that Internet Explorer has a bad rap for running slow, but it is not necessarily to blame. It’s a web browser based on extensibility, which allows a user to plug in as many (emphasis on the word MANY) add-ons as they like. This not only slows down the CRM experience, but web browsing overall.
