I had never heard of Back Market, but on the advice of a friend I gave it a try. I am sorry I didn't know of them sooner. My Surface Pro looks like it came from the factory and functions that way. I did not need the cost or power of a new tablet so this one filled the bill. As far as the tablet goes, I love it! It does what I want as well as an ipad, and plays happily with the Windows ecosystem which is just what I wanted.
