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

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

What's something your Surface does better than people give it credit for?
"Surface" is actually a brand, not just one individual model of system. There are Surface laptops and Surface tablets with detachable keyboards. I have both kinds of units and they're all great. The Surface Laptop 7 is a solid-feeling, sleek system with a great feeling keyboard (that you don't have

Why do gaming laptops run games so poorly when the power is not plugged in?
It’s not just becuase they are in low power mode, even if you force it back on to performance mode it still won’t game as well while damaging your battery. you are asking the battery to do things it cannot do, gaming requires a lot of power that’s why people have 250w charging bricks for their lapto

The "Macs don't need restarts" take is outdated
I reboot my M1 pro for software updates and maybe every couple of months if it starts to seem sluggish or apps start to hang. I reboot my Microsoft surface laptop monthly due to security updates being more frequent than apple releases. Outside of that the Surface is pretty solid and like the mac doe
