Thinkpad is where my money goes, but they come at a price as does the surface. Can't see you would go wrong with any of the others suggested. Buy which every one has a deal on at the moment.

I have 2 chromebooks and really can't fault them. It's really just like a big mobile smartphone. Put the apps on you want and that's it. It works

Chromebooks are great as long as you realise that they have very little on-board file storage and usually only a fast solid state drive, something like a large capacity USB drive. You do need a good internet connection, because most of your files and some programs/apps will be cloud-stored.
Its more or less like a Chrome browser on a screen and keyboard. I like it, given that I know how it works.
I don't have one but do use my iPad Pro in a similar way, sometimes using Chrome, except I don't generally use it with a keyboard. For example, my dairy herd program is a cloud based system working through Chrome on all devices but it has a mobile app which stores the database for offline use and synching with the cloud when a broadband connection becomes available.

There is, but it's not the fully functional version.
