Microsoft Surface or Chromebook?

[Thea]

I am currently in school and am saving up to buy something for myself. I can't choose between the Surface and Chromebook, I have done some research on the websites, but I'm not the best with all the 'technological talk'.
I need to be able to type up homework, or create posters (preferably on microsoft) and easily surf the web. I'm not to worried about gaming, but being able to add apps is appealing. Any ideas what would be best for me?

Definitely Microsoft Surface, all you can do on a Chromebook is surf the internet with Google Chrome.

Chromebook is more versatile than the surface which is a tablet. for school I would recommend a macbook air or hp envy ultrabook.

get the Microsoft surface RT
it really is an amazing tablet
it has a 10.6" screen with very good and high resolution
colors look clear and sharp on it
the tablet build quality is amazing
it feels perfect and its made from solid materials
the os on the tablet which is windows 8 is also amazing
its fast and fluid and also simple and easy to use
its made with touch in mind
the web browser is extremely good its fast and pages load up quickly
and it supports flash which is a huge plus and which is something that is lacking on most android tablets and all ios tablets
battery life is very good and would easily get you through more than 10 hours of heavy use
you can download apps from the windows marketplace which has many high quality apps
thousands of apps are being added everyday
more than 2000 apps were added in less than 2 days
it does have more than 35000 apps now and like I said it will keep on increasing
it has dual cameras and both of them take amazing photos and videos
it has deep social network integration(skype,facebook,twitter,linkedin… and so on)
you also get Microsoft office 2013 for free on it
and if you get the keyboard and attach it to it you'll have a laptop
overall the surface is an amazing tablet and you should get it
and yes you will be able to do your homeworks and create posters on it
