Actual size comparison this time: MacBook 12-inch, Surface Pro 12-inch, and Surface Go

The Surface Go is the perfect size tablet, until you try to type on it, haha. The Surface Go Type Cover is easily one of the best mobile keyboards, but it is very cramped. Some people have a hard time getting used to it. The 12-in model should avoid all that, but it is clearly not as compact.

What does it take to deploy Chromebooks in a non-school setting?

Basically this, no offense. It can be done, but bear in mind that you’re an MSP effectively asking how to deploy an OS that is notoriously difficult to manage on a commercial basis. I might instead recommend something akin to Surface tablets, namely cheap options like Surface Go or maybe Lenovo migh

Which one to choose? Kobo Libra Colour or Boox Go 7 Series

If the device you're describing is made, I want one too 😊 Unfortunately, e-readers are not there yet. So, I just got a Boox Go 7 gen 2 to replace my Go 7 colour, I also have a Boox Air 3C (don't judge me) and my partner has the Kobo, so I have a bit of an insight in all of this. I also have ADHD, di

Surface with Surface Dock heating up

When docked it's likely running in Performance mode. Tablets use their chassis as a heatsink to dissipate heat so it's not unusual for it to get warm. Same with the cord. My first gen Surface Go gets a little toasty

What tablet for a first-year chem student?

All of my students who I've seen taking notes on a tablet use an iPad. Apple US offers an education discount, I assume they do in the UK as well. I have a Surface Go that I used for grad school and use to lecture from, it works fine too. However, in general for chemistry I'd say that having a tablet

Surface Go 3 in 2025

I support some people using Linux on a Surface Go 3, but I don't own one myself. The Go3 is well supported, even without a Surface Kernel, except the cameras. The attachable keyboard works well, if you use the original Microsoft keyboard, not a cheap bluetooth one. I am unsure though what to rec. as

Actual size comparison this time: MacBook 12-inch, Surface Pro 12-inch, and Surface Go

Thank you for these pictures - reinforces my reaction looking at the SP12 and Sp13 yesterday at Best Buy. Drop the X Plus in the Surface Go shell, blow out the bezels to 11" screen size, and call it a day. Yes, typing would be as cramped as always on the Surface Go Plus (as it is on the 11" iPad Pro

Recommendations: Lightweight laptop for writing work

Second vote for Surface Go as a travel typer. The typecover is surprisingly good....and that's coming from a HARDCORE Thinkpad keyboard+mechanical keyboard addict. Screen is great, and the true tablet form factor with the kickstand makes it THE BEST portable media consumption PC, when you just wanna

Which high end Linux tablet would you suggest these days to buy for REAL use?

I am currently most interested in adding a Fydetab duo to my fleet. https://fydetabduo.com/ Yes, its a ChromeOS tablet - but the developer isn't locking it down to a Google sanctioned ChromeOS variant, and fully supports booting various full Linux distros on the hardware. And while the CPU isn't a h

Is the 45W wall charger compatible with Surface Go4?

Tl;dr 45W USB-C charger that's PD compliant is fine. You will notice more heat and maybe throttling. Here is the official information from Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-charging-requirements-and-power-supplies-0d9d51d4-594b-464d-9086-c90f35b80c01 If you select Surfac
