Hello members of the Microsoft Surface magazine,...
Hello members of the Microsoft Surface magazine,...
seanbala, 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!
Pavan Davuluri is now in charge of both Windows and Surface engineering.
Microsoft's new Surface PCs are commercial only, and begin shipping in April.

New "AI-powered" Surface hardware will arrive in two waves this April and June.
slothrop,
kerem, @slothrop Nice! How's the battery life with the debloated OS?
Sylvhem, @slothrop Just to check, if you have switched to root using su, did you use “su -” as your command? I know it tripped me a few times.
maxleibman, 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.
But the Laptop Go has quite a few drawbacks, too.
maxleibman, Quick rundown of the drawbacks of the Surface Laptop Go…
All generations:
No backlit keyboard.
Terrible screen (low resolution, poor color reproduction, not great backlight).
Storage tops out at 256 GB
First two generations:
- Terrible battery life.
Vs. Surface Go and other Surfi:
- Worse touchscreen experience (no active digitizer/no Surface Pen compatibility).
March 21 is the current working date, with new hardware expected to ship in April and June.
Microsoft is making major updates to its Surface Pro and Surface Laptop lines with improved designs, new features, and next-gen silicon.
An inside look at the unique ethos that sparked Surface’s pioneering 2-in-1 design, from the seminal Surface Pro to the new Surface Laptop Studio 2
Surface PCs shipped in 2021 onward are getting two extra years of firmware updates.
iFixit has started selling genuine replacement parts for Microsoft Surface devices. The company now offers SSDs, batteries, screens, kickstands, and a whole bunch of other parts for 15 Surface products.
Going forward, Microsoft plans to only focus on its most popular Surface devices and cut back on more "experimental" projects.
Here's your first look at the next Surface Laptop Studio 2.
Microsoft has sent out invites to a "special event" taking place next month.

rjhale1971,
dec_hl, 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!
box464, @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.
dec_hl, @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…
SirTapTap, 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 =/
