Switch 2 Purchased From Walmart Arrived Empty

Yup. FedEx stole a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio ($2.5K) delivery. Literally dropped an empty box that was hastily taped back closed on my doorstop. Best Buy refunded me, but not before I had to file a police report. Thankfully, I realized I didn't need that expensive a*s laptop anyway and went to

MKBHD's video about the Mac Neo feels like he purposely didnt mention Surface laptops. Instead used

I love surfaces but the Neo runs circles around them at a far lower price. Saying the Surface Laptop 7 is a “10x better laptop” is just straight up false. The closest Microsoft ever got to a Neo in their lineup was the Surface Go and Go 2, products which, in part due to windows and accessories-not-i

Failed AI tractor company lays off all employees, abandons Bay Area headquarters

Microsoft surface laptops and one Apple MacBook Air, sold as is. These Microsoft 15” laptops are really nice! I’m a convert now!

MKBHD's video about the Mac Neo feels like he purposely didnt mention Surface laptops. Instead used

I watched that video earlier tonight. I think that video was more than fair. He brought up lots of really great points and literally explained why no Windows PC manufactured laptop is close. That includes Microsoft. Apple makes their silicon, Microsoft doesn't. Microsoft allows Windows to be modifie

Microsoft is officially cooked

Yeah. Microsoft probably doesn't remember the surface even exists. It's a side hustle for them. They keep launching random combos and then never follow up, like the surface go, surface laptop go

Microsoft is shutting down its flagship retail storefront in the UK

That's sad. The consumer side of Microsoft has suffered in the past 5 years. Products aren't exciting anymore. My beloved Surface Laptop 4 got stolen, so I bought a Surface Laptop 7. The SL7 got stolen in about a month after my SL4. I didn't want to spend money on a laptop that could disappear again

Intel macbook pro still worth it?

Not worth it. Even with your use-case. You are much better off getting an Apple Silicon machine and using Parallels/Crossover if you really want to run Windows on a Mac. Keep in mind running Windows on a Mac is the most expensive way to get Windows. The Intel Mac will still not game. Also, keep in m

Rumors about the Surface Laptop

Yes, and Microsoft is probably in an even worse position than one thinks, they already nuked the "regular" SP and SL under $1000 as of MAY 2025 - well before all the escalations with these prices started. Yes, they introduced the downgraded 2025 (worse than 2024) devices to take some space in the un

Microsoft prepares display upgrades and two stage launch for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop

They seem like they've all but given up on any creative applications for the Surface line. No Surface Studios, laptop or otherwise. No books. The Slim Pen 2 looks like a thermometer, and draws about as bad as one. Even the settings for stylus tweaking have been stripped back in Windows. A Movink 14

Ex-Windows chief Steven Sinofsky calls MacBook Neo "a paradigm shifting computer" — reflects on Surface failure and Windows on Arm while lamenting "we were early, but not wrong"

MS went all-in on tablets too soon, too. They went all-in on portables (Windows CE). Too soon. Surface, ARM... They are usually exactly right about where things will go, and they could be the first success... If the experience wasn't crap every time. I had an HP palmtop. I usually got it to work for
