Surface (Pro) 12in: Where have you been all my life?

This is the feedback I'm interested in. This obviously is a spec downgrade from the 11, but the size makes it a competitive, distinct change in usability. Surface Pros are far too big to really use as a handheld tablet, and surface go was too small to use as a laptop (and sucked as a tablet due to i

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.

Surface fans: How do you view the Surface brand in 2026?

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

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

What do you think about your Surface?

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

Bought a Surface Pro and immediately installed Linux on it lol

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.

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

What are your thoughts on the chromebooks MOE made us buy?

Your surface go is much better mate, it can turn into a tablet which is very handy on the tiny ass classroom desks

Old X1 Carbon owners, what are/were you requirements for next Thinkpad?

Fomer carbon 1st gen and 4th gen owner here. Currently dailying a W541 and a T25. I want to replace my old carbon with another one - don't need a lot of power, just USB-C capable charging, for an ultraportable Linux rig. Right now, my focus is more replacing my aging workstation with something newer

Linux made me fall in love with my Surface Pro again.

Yes. See my comment above - I had a similar situation with my Surface Go 2. A Windows 11 update last summer really knocked my battery life back to 2-3 hours WITH Battery Saver. I put on Q4OS (Debian) with KDE Plasma and never looked back. I get 7-8 hours now. Everything works, touchscreen, trackpad,
