For those of you that use Surface Pro's, how do you lug it around the job site? Do you have a hard case on it (I haven't found any that i like)? Some sort of handle(d)/case? (I use the Gripzilla and i love it). Or maybe a "murse" like shoulder strap case? I've found it very hard to find much for field work and the surface.

If apple is the most used I ask myself how they do it with the apple accout you need to use the apple devices. Do you use the one of the client? Or do you make one account for all your costumers together?

Full disclosure: I used to work for Panasonic. Bad place to work, but great gear.
Buy a Panasonic Toughpad running Windows. Is it expensive? Yes, but they're flipping bulletproof. I have one that's almost 5 years old, and it's a tank. Kids have walked on it, dropped it down the stairs, and left it outside in the yard for a week - with a sprinkler system that runs every other day. If it gets dirty, you can throw it in the dishwasher.
You can get a refurb version of the one I have for under $700 on eBay.

Look at purchasing Formconnect on Appstore and create an electronic form where you can associate data with corresponding pictures for site walks! Changed my life.
