Which one should I get ? I don't really game on a tablet. Would like to watch films and browse the internet mainly.

I'd take the Surface 3 out of those two options.

Nexus 9? Heh. I'd rather have it than the two mentioned. But for tablets I'm an Android guy. If I wanted Windows, I'd use it on a PC or laptop. ...and I just plain don't want iOS.

Tough call. I guess it depends on whether you use the Surface as a Tablet or as a PC most.

At work we have people using the surface (although most use it with the keyboard)

I think of iPads as purely entertainment devices.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........... for internet and videos I guess I'd say iPad (although I have never owned one) but I am with Hokie, I'd go with an android device over iOS. Nexus 9 would get it done for half the price.
