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

Surface Go 2 Linux

I got a secondhand GO 2 a few months back, and it's been fine (much better than the Go 3 I have, which has a bunch of annoying glitches that haven't been resolved over the few years I've had it). To answer your questions: I nuked Windows immediately after verifying the system started up and worked,

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

Surface Apps are a joke

The Amazon App Store was nearly a desert for the short time it was there. And Google didn't collaborate with Microsoft on the WSA then - doubt they have an incentive to collaborate now. Though to be fair, it always advertised itself as a laptop-first device - all the ads they used to do included the

The changes to the Hotspot terms are directly contrary to what has been stated in discussions here.

I own a Microsoft Surface Go 3 with LTE. It's a tablet that runs Windows. I know it meets the requirements under the terms that it's only for phones and tablets; I just hope it doesn't get mis-recognized as a laptop and falsely trip any detectors. I was considering getting a US Mobile Dark Star plan

yukari and the update

The only reason I still dual-boot with Windows is for compiling mods for a game that must use MSVC - I don't think I'm quite ready to figure out that on Nobara (which I dual-boot on my main pc). Though, most of the time I do use Linux - specifically Alpine Linux, on a Surface Go 3 tablet, whenever I

ULTIMATE GUIDE: Best Budget Laptop In 2025 - What Actually Works Under $500 (MOD Approved List)

If you’re looking for the best budget laptop 2025 that actually matches your needs, I’d say it’s worth breaking it down by use case, not just price. A $500 “deal” can still be a waste if it’s the wrong tool for the job. For portability & note-taking (students, travel, meetings): Acer Chromebook Spin

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

The new $10 tablet plan with BYOD

I was able to activate my BYOD device today. I used my iPad Air 2's IMEI to place a SIM order. Received SIM this morning, had to chat with an agent to activate using my Air 2's IMEI. After activated, I asked the rep if I can SIM swap to another tablet. Surprisingly, he said yes. So I swapped the SIM

Why did you choose Surface and are you liking it?

I recently switched to my first MacBook about 2 months ago. I've always been on Windows and use an Android phone. I owe the og Surface Pro, SP4 i5, SP7 i5, SP9 i7, Surface Go, and Surface Go 3 m3. Loved using them all these years. But I noticed that since I also own an Android tablet, I noticed that
