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

Dell DB16255 16" WUXGA Laptop (around $1,999 at JB Hi-Fi) Specs: AMD Ryzen AI 7 , 16GB RAM (upgradeable in some models), 1TB SSD.

It is. The emulation has improved significantly from the Surface Pro X era. I am not certain why users here are expressing negative sentiment because for the vast majority of users, it just works now. The only cases are power user corner cases so do not pay attention to the hate. I only use the Luna

Okay, so you have some easy options. Unless you want an older device you'll want to buy a Surface Pro 11 or Surface Laptop 7 for Business with Intel. You can buy direct from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/b/business or from certain consumer retailers that stock them for example bot

I’m on my phone, so a short answer. I use an iPad Pro M4 with 1 TB and a surface pro 11th edition with the X Elite with 16 GB RAM. Short answer: if you do not need any specific apps, then the Surface is almost a no-brainer. But only almost. Windows 11 is a full desktop operating system. Microsoft’s

It's a really good balance between a tablet (that isn't just a bigger phone, especially paired with the pen) and a laptop (full version of Windows). Performance is still really good on SP11 (Surface Pro 11), and you can get around 10h of battery life with normal usage. Nothing groundbreaking, but it

I just got a SP11 a couple weeks ago. Prior to that, I’ve never used or owned Microsoft first-party hardware. For context, I primarily use Apple products (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro) and use this primarily for work (emails, using browser-based applications, reading some PDFs). I bought the keyboard a

Ive been running Ableton live on a Microsoft Surface pro 7+ for almost 5 years now. Is a 11th gen i7 with 16GB ram. I use it for recording my own songs and arranging keys and synth parts for my band. I'm typically using up to 30 tracks, maybe 10 or so virtual synths and pianos, most quite demanding

Microsoft has badly bungled how they name and market the Surface line. They even had a "Surface Pro X" and a "Surface Pro 10" which are not the same model! Having two different "13-inch", "11th edition" models and a "12-inch" model (unknown edition) on sale at the same time is frankly incompetent. T

I swapped out my 12.9 M2 iPad Pro for the Surface Pro 11 on ARM. I liked it so much that I sold my 14" MacBook Pro too. I am able to do everything that I could on those two machines on the SP11. It has great battery life and stays cool. Using OneNote w/a matte glass screen protector and a metal tip
