Notebook para estudiar

sí, hace totalmente la diferencia, pero yo te diría que te enfoques en comprar un notebook para oficina, es decir, ligero, con una pantalla hecha para leer documentos, es mucho más cómodo trabajar en una pantalla 3:2, se siente más grande, espacioso y aprovechado el espacio, que en una pantalla +16:

New Surface Prices No Longer Competitive

It's definitely pricey. When I bought my Surface Laptop 5, I actually went with the 16GB/512GB version to cut cost - then I upgraded the SSD to 1TB myself. It turned out perfect. I bought the Kioxia SSD per Microsoft's 1TB spec and it saved me $450. I have to decide if I want to want to do something

New Surface devices leaked: Surface Pro 12 and Surface Laptop 13

Even Adobe is getting better. I use Photoshop (native) and Lightroom Classic (x64 emulated) and both work really well on my SL7. LrC is actually faster on my laptop than on my wife's SL5 (Intel 12th gen). Currently Illustrator, inDesign, and Premiere Pro are all in "beta" on Arm (x64 emulated). Have

Best deal

Microsoft is offering a buyback of old surface devices when you buy new from them. They also price match other major retailers. They valued my SL5 at $700, which I thought was awesome. So I purchased a new Dune SP11 for $999 and a keyboard pen combo for $219. Then I price matched the SP11 from Walma

Next-gen 13.8 and 15-inch Surface Laptops should be rebranded as Surface Laptop Pro.

Frankly I can't remember last time seeing a surface laptop "in the wild" and that includes universities. Not that they have Macs, but literally any other of the popular/"regular" laptop brands. The Pro (tablets) are relatively common in mostly any class. However, with the latest years (actually quit

Cachy os review, simple user | 4 months

I love linux but my Surface Laptop 5 decided to give up on me. Its not charging and the firmware updates using fwupd are unreliable for surface devices. I am being forced to use Windows. Fuck Microsoft. Im going to install windows again using a recovery image today. Then I’m gonna sell it and buy so

Surface Laptop 5: Replace Alcantara with Metal?

I've done it on a 13" SL3. It was a piece of cake. Take off the feet (you'll likely need to replace these--Microsoft sells them, or you can use just about any stick-on feet), unscrew the four mounting screws hidden under the feet, then gently remove the keyboard (which is held on by magnets). A guit

recommendations for computer for college

i see, thank you! so would you recommend i get the SL7 over the SL5? i’m not worried about having to wait for things like fortnite, but i was under the impression that waiting is a common occurrence, while with the SL5, these features are already there. i don’t want to buy the laptop and not be able

What laptop to buy?

If you’re used to a MacBook Air and want something equally thin/light with great battery life (but need Windows), a few solid options: Dell XPS 13 / XPS 13 Plus Super portable, sharp display, great build quality. One of the closest “Windows equivalents” to a MacBook Air. 2. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
