Trade in Surface go 1 for a Mcdonald's small fries

I traded in my Surface Go in July 2023 to Samsung and got $100 for it. It was the base Go with 4GB/64GB. I had to send it in to MS twice prior to trade-in because of this crap https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-go-or-surface-go-2-turns-on-and-shows-no-bootable-device-5348cd7c-b417-4

Recommendations for CSP-compatible tablet 'on the road'

For this sort of thing, I use a Microsoft Surface 3, which is a 10.8" tablet that runs Windows 10. This is a rather old model, which is both good and bad: none of them have fresh batteries (which are nearly impossible to replace), but they're also available pretty cheaply. It's under-powered, so it

How can i live with bare minimum

My 'tablet' is a surface go 2 with 8GB ram running Fedora KDE Plasma and it's just fine. Granted I'm just doing lite stuff but everything runs fine.

MKBHD's video about the Mac Neo feels like he purposely didnt mention Surface laptops. Instead used

Surface Go tablets were also underpowered. The fastest available was the Go 4 with an Intel N200 and the iPhone chip in the Neo is magnitudes faster.

Considering FW 12, but I have a couple of questions.

How much faster is it than a Surface Go 2? Anything is faster than a surface go 2. I have one, too. >Does the keyboard shut off in tablet mode or is accidental typing from holding it going to be a problem? Fedora 42 KDE supports shutoff of the keyboard and touchpad >Anything else that should convinc

Linux Mint on Surface Go 1 - let's see if this is a bad idea!

Ive tried couple of distros on my surface go 2, for laptop style use i would recomend Linux Lite its blazing fast and low ram usage, less than 1gb of used ram, customize it little bit and you'll get nice modern and fast PC. For tablet i would choose fedora gnome, it takes 2gb of ram usage tho and th

Surface Pro 12" VS refurb go and Linux

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

Surface Go 3 slow booting up finally solved!

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

Aluminum FW12

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
