Hi,
I'm after a laptop for my small business. I have client meetings and calls and want to take notes straight onto the laptop or tablet with a pen (have too many notepads lying around with notes and to do lists, that I rarely save on file). I initially put an order for a Lenovo ThinkPad 16:10 2-in-1 (waiting for shipment so can cancel) but now I'm thinking maybe a 13.3" 2-in-1 might be a bit bulky to carry around and use in meetings and when in the office might be impracticable to take notes whilst on calls as I generally need to access documents/chrome.
I saw the Surface Go 3 which is a bit smaller and might be suitable for note taking/meetings. The 4GB model seems fine for OneNote and other Microsoft Office apps.
If I get the Surface Go 3, I'll go with either a Surface Laptop 4 AMD 16GB or Dell XPS 13 9310 (non 2-in-1) as primary laptop. Leaning towards Surface Laptop 4 as it's on sale at JB for $1,400. Unless you guys tell me the XPS is a better laptop for general office tasks (mainly MS 365, Chrome).
Separately, I need to connect to two 1080p HDMI monitors. I don't think I need a full docking station (keyboard and mouse connected via Bluetooth, rarely use USB A, don't use ethernet) - happy to be convinced otherwise. If I do, I would want power delivery.
Or should I just get this adapter. Are they reliable for all day use (I hear they can get really hot, but maybe it's the cheaper Amazon/eBay ones?)

for the same price as the big brands you will get a better laptop, for monitors just get an adaptor as most configurations will have a HDMI and a mini display port or thunderbolt.
