Ex-Windows chief calls MacBook Neo "a paradigm shifting computer" — reflects on Surface failure and Windows on Arm while lamenting "we were early, but not wrong"
The gap here is that Apple forcibly moved everybody over to ARM. Windows never even tried, because one of their major selling point has always been extensive backwards compatibility spanning decades. The Neo "works" because Macbook users were already forced to upgrade or die. The Surface RT didn't b

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

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

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

An OLED cheaper than 32GB of RAM.
After like 8 years of waiting for the perfect 3:2 monitor I settled for a Benq RD280U 4K+ 3:2 IPS 60hz. after having it for a couple of months I plan to get a second one. Ever since Microsoft launched the Surface Studio, I've wanted a 28" 3:2 monitor, I've been using a 3:2 laptop since the release o

MKBHD's video about the Mac Neo feels like he purposely didnt mention Surface laptops. Instead used
I loved the stores. And yes… buying my first surface was like having magic on a tablet… I never bought another regular laptop for a decade…. It’s a shame we are where we are. The surfaces were the best product of Microsoft.

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:
