Am I supposed to spit on someone's iPhone?
Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 Elite X (14 inch) beats the latest MacBook Pro (14 inch) in Geekbench score and has the same or better battery life. I guess 'performance' is subjective and you could still argue the MacBook comes out on top depending on what you prioritise. Either way, the gap isn't as bi

Seeking advice on Surface laptop 7 for my Computer Science study
some post about ARM windows being bad with it's app incompability Windows on ARM's app compatibility is great. I personally have no issues, and I use Visual Studio and Webstorm on my Surface Laptop 7. That said, compatibility is not 100%. You may come across something you need that doesn't work (I h

Is an ARM Surface Laptop wise to buy in 2025 (to be used with a ThinkPad Gen2 dock)
I recently bought the 15” Surface Copilot+ Laptop with the Snapdragon Elite processor to test it out after having a brief experience setting up one for a client. The battery life and speed are much better than a typical Inter i7 laptop. I’ve run into a couple of issues with Adobe Acrobat and remote

Thinking of grabbing Costco $750 Surface Copilot+ laptop — good for everyday personal use?
My two cents. Don't buy into the windows arm ecosystem yet. Part of the reason that computer is so cheap (just a guess) other than it being Costco, is because of the pain of using windows' translation layer. A lot of folks have been leaning away from them since they came out a little bit ago. Qualco

Surface laptop 7 or Macbook Air M5
Wow. Didn’t know anyone actually used OneDrive! M5 will be fast. Touchpad will be nice. Battery will be great. Mac Windows and Linux desktop have become more similar. Microsoft products work on a Mac, except Visio and Project. File manager on Mac is generally better after some learning pain. If you

What laptop should I buy?
Depends on your budget but I'd say anything with at least 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 with a good keyboard and display should get you through. I'm not sure exactly how well the new Snapdragon chips work with the course but they have great battery life usually so that's something to c

Apple's $599 MacBook Neo Sold Out Through April 2026 Amid Surging Demand
Maybe it’s me but I can’t seem to find a surface laptop that starts at $800, arm or not. The cheapest machine on the Microsoft website is the Surface Pro, which starts at $1,050 without a keyboard or power supply. For the keyboard and power supply (the neo comes with both) it’s at $1270, more than d

Charlie Demerjian says Snapdragon only has approx 4% battery life advantage over Lunar Lake
My Microsoft Surface laptop 7 with 268v only lasts around 4 hours, Lunar Lake is no where close to snapdragon.
