Surface Go 3

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.

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.

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

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,

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'

I use a Surface Go 2 which is total overkill just for reading tablets but the comicrack desktop app running on it can connect to the one running on my desktop via the library sharing feature, and I like how customisable the reader's touch points are.

I don't use Apple products so I unfortunately don't have a suggestion there, but I've been using SAI on Surface tablets (the Surface Book 2 and Surface Go 3) and it's been great!

If OP got their own high school laptop and it wasn't provided by & returned to their school (otherwise ignore this OP): Even my crappy high school 'laptop' (MS Surface Go 2, basically a tablet in a case) could run solidworks fine for most people in my class, so unless you'll be rendering hyper-compl

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

I have a Surface Go 2 as well. I get much better battery life with the Q4OS distro (Debian-based with KDE Plasma) than Windows 11. Everything worked out of the box except the cameras, but I got them working quite well with getting the IPU3 firmware online and installing libcamera and GStreamer . Som
