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

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

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

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

I have the Neo and the Surface laptop 7 (and the latest surface Pro arm) No. The surface Laptop is not 10x a better laptop than the neo. Straight false. I am a fan of the whole Surface lineup, but Microsoft dropped the ball long time ago. Apple laptops since the M1 are much better, in both: value an

Don't expect a Steam Deck 2 until silicon breakthroughs arrive, warns Valve | Valve wants more than a 50 percent gain in performance-per-watt

Microsoft is actually done a pretty decent job with this with the latest surface laptops. I have one and it's playing guild wars 2 and Star Trek online which are both around 15 years old MMOs and they both play as well as a few other old games I've thrown at it. Now as far as performance goes well t

Microsoft launches Surface Laptop 5G pre-orders — reengineered from the ground up, and costs $1,799

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Surface Laptop 7 with 5G is not cheap. In fact, it's Microsoft's most expensive 5G product to date, starting at $1,799 for an Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD storage. The 5G variant is also only available in the 13.8-inch screen size and weighs around 3lbs. Au

Surface Pro 12-inch hands-on impressions: Microsoft and Qualcomm may have a home run

I'm not terribly impressed with the new devices, mostly because they don't fit my particular needs. However, the notion that has been previously expressed that Microsoft isn't serious about Arm is further dispelled by these new devices - and the fact that the business versions will also be Arm based

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

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
