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

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

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

Surface Go 2 - tell me what to do?

Hi. I used an Asus Zenpad z300m for about 8 years before the battery literally split the case. I wanted something a bit more robust as a replacement. I recently bought into the Surface go 2, 8gb/M3/Win11pro. I had to return a few to get one that worked okay. My idea was that the Android's just didn'

Alpine linux as desktop os

It's pretty decent- using it with KDE Plasma on a Surface Go 3. It's by far the most responsive this mess of a tablet has been (way better than on the stock Windows 11) and most things I've needed have worked. Though, Eclipse was kinda messy to setup since the flatpak still tried to use my system's

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

Bring laptop or invest in mini tablet?

I got a Surface Go 3 - it's a bit weak but adequate if I'm not spending a lot of time on it. As a Windows tablet, it's the best (and worst) of both worlds.

Engineering laptops

The tech loan program is great for some students! It does not have laptops though and the tablets are not up to spec for engineering, as OP is asking about. Like, the Surface Go 3 is lightweight and ideal for taking notes, but with only two cores and max 8 GB RAM, it’s not going to be great for the

PC Lobotomy

Modern lower-end CPUs are just those higher end CPUs but some parts weren't working so they disabled them in the factory. Even the lower end Ryzen CPUs are rated for 65w of power draw and have a max core temperature of 95c before thermal throttling.But speaking from experience, even like 5w of power
