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

Dell built in webcams

Yes, in the past 12+ months we've had so many fail on our fleet of Latitudes I've made the decision to stop buying Dell and pay the extra for Microsoft Surface laptops. We've had camera issues as well as microphones stop working. We always get a Dell engineer to resolve it under warranty (it's alway

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

Surface Laptop 13 (24GB) — Buy Now or Wait for May Refresh?

Current surface laptop is 7 not 13. I’ve got a 16gb ram elite version. It’s pretty incredible. While not a gaming machine, it plays a LOT of titles very well. If I had to do it again, I’d opt for a 32gb ram machine specifically for gaming (again, I know it’s not a gaming laptop). I upgraded my 512 s

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
