Who else makes high quality and compact Windows tablets? My Surface Go 3 and Surface 12-inch fill that niche.

Have a Surface Go 3. Had some mishaps with the pen at first, but got it replaced and it was smooth sailing afterwards. Except for the battery - can't get more than 4-5 hours out of it, even at low power. Can't wait for an updated Surface Go with an ARM chip - the size, portability, and price are per

This is the way. I actually have a Surface Go 3 that I use for a tablet/travel system running Solus Plasma and love it. It upsets my brother-in-law who works for Microsoft, so bonus.

I use a Surface Go 3 as a versatile tablet for flights and full capability machine when I'm away. (There isn't anything I can't do on it, just nothing I can do fast. Where an android tablet was always a struggle). It also sips electricity. The Framework 12 looks like a good replacement, the 2p+8e se

The Amazon App Store was nearly a desert for the short time it was there. And Google didn't collaborate with Microsoft on the WSA then - doubt they have an incentive to collaborate now. Though to be fair, it always advertised itself as a laptop-first device - all the ads they used to do included the

As I am getting back into drawing and getting into digital for the first time (properly, I'd say, anyway), I am a mixture of things that I have collected over the years: A Surface Go 3 with a Surface Pen and Linux Mint, a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with an included S Pen, and an Intuos Bluetooth S tablet th

I would say, their general battery strength. A full charge can hardly last you more than 6 hours if screen is kept on throughout. Arguably, my experiences were with Microsoft surface go 3 (a portable tablet/pc hence understandable for its shit battery life). I expected more from a Microsoft Surface

I was running the latest Win 11, 25H2, on my Surface go 3 tablet. The boot time was forever. Affinity Studio took 2 minutes. Word, longer than a minute. My PDF editor took over two minutes.Overall the sytem was very slow, even allthough I removed CoPilot and did a full reset. So I removed Windows 11

I own a Microsoft Surface Go 3 with LTE. It's a tablet that runs Windows. I know it meets the requirements under the terms that it's only for phones and tablets; I just hope it doesn't get mis-recognized as a laptop and falsely trip any detectors. I was considering getting a US Mobile Dark Star plan

As a Surface Go 2 owner, I would not hesitate to go with the Surface Pro 12”. It’s the newest Surface tablet and is quite speedy and has super battery life. My Surface Go 2 has the fastest processor that was offered back then—I think it outpaced some of the Surface Go 3s. Yet just logging in feels l
