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

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

Surface Go 1 for $50?

Feedback from a person who just bought a surface go 2 for $80 on Amazon. Pay the extra money if you really want one, I got one because I needed a Windows base tablet and didn’t want to pay a lot of money. I’m not gonna lie. It’s gonna be super laggy and slow. Make sure to get one that is on Windows

It's not exactly what I would have done, but you can't go wrong switching to Linux on any device if your aim is to tinker and whatnot. I've not done this specifically, but the first concern that jumps to my mind is questionable support for things like the touchscreen. You'd likely need the linux-sur

Low fps, please help me

If you dont have a dedicated GPU, youre using an Intel IceLake UHD 32EU iGpu. Which is... to put it into perspective, i have a Microsoft Surface Go 4, a Tablet. Thats the same GPU, albeit with a weaker CPU. Ram is not all that important. I know people act like ram is everything but its really not. I

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

Surface Go 2 - tell me what to do?

I bought the version with a keyboard and stylus for this tablet, but it only took me a few minutes after setting it up to decide to return it. Firstly, I can't edit my spreadsheets. I store a few spreadsheets on OneDrive, which I access from my Surface and PC via LibreOffice – my usage doesn't justi

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

Travel laptop/tablet. Which to buy?

surface go is just slow hardware being asked to run bloated software, so yeah you're stuck. if you want windows in that size you're basically looking at more surface devices or waiting for some unicorn product that doesn't really exist at a good price point. android tablet will be faster and have be
