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.

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.

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

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

Krita users, what do you draw with / which tool do you prefer? :)

As I am getting back into drawing and getting into digital for the first time (properly, I'd say, anyway), I am a mixture of things that I have collected over the years: A Surface Go 3 with a Surface Pen and Linux Mint, a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with an included S Pen, and an Intuos Bluetooth S tablet th

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

Surface Go 3 slow booting up finally solved!

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
