Looking for new #laptop to replace my #Surface Pro 6. I'm overwhelmed by the number of choices and annoyed so many devices have removed basic ports 😠
Trying to decide between the Surface Laptop 5 and Dell #XPS 13. I've seen the Surface in person and like it but reviews are poor. I've not seen the Dell but reviews are fantastic but it has few ports and apparently some quality control issues. Any thoughts? Advice? Alternatives? Thanks!
Thanks in advance for any feedback. I've been searching all day for some guidance and I feel like I'm really coming up short. I thought I might give the Fediverse a try - it usually doesn't let me down! 🤗

Seriously considering moving back from the Surface Laptop Go 2 to the Surface Go 3.
I made the switch in the first place because while I love the flexibility/modularity/all-in-one-ness of the Go, in 2022 I found myself using it in my lap a LOT, and (like the Surface Pro), the Go is NOT lap-able. The Laptop Go, on the other hand, is (as its name implies) a traditional laptop.
Apparently Surface tablets don't have com ports. Can you bluetooth a GPS to the tablet and then make QGIS see it? Double bonus - windows 11. I think this is a double threat of windows 11 and a surface tablet. #surface#microsft#gps#qgis
When I bought my #Surface Pro and my #Surface Go I was unsure if this was a good idea because the batteries can hardly be changed by the user and MS offer for replacement was VERY dodgy.
I never, ever expected the batteries to last longer than the #Microsoft support for #Win10. I will have to throw away* two totally fine notebooks next year because MS decided there need to be crazy HW-requirements for #Win11 🤬
(*) I will put #Linux on them, I won't throw away working HW that is still useful!
@dec_hl oh wow! I’m sitting here wondering what to do with my own surface pro. I did put Win11 on it but it sounds like the fan is about to fly off when it runs. 😅
The blue felt keyboard cover is just too cool to throw out.
Was considering putting Linux on it too. Any recommendations? Here’s where I was headed.
@box464 no recommendations yet as I’ll wait until win10 support drops. But yes, I found that page, too. My idea was to try Ubuntu on the Pro and Arch on the Go and see how far it takes me…
Anyone got a #surface third-party slim pen? I have an official one but my kittens are very hungry for it, literally.
Thinking of getting a cheap one to leave attached to my Surface Laptop Studio, and keep the Real Deal in a drawer for when I need it. Silly but...man, that thing was expensive =/
I like my Surface Laptop Studio, definitely a good move over the Surface Book (LOVED the idea, but detach wasn't ready for prime time, BSOD/No dGPU detected often)
Two things:
Wish the Tablet mode magnet was much stronger and 'tablet' form flatter in general
I really do miss the most underrated aspect of the Surface Pro line: since the keyboard is JUST a keyboard and guts are in the display, NO HOT THING ON YOUR LAP!
