Sure, Laptop 13.8-inch is still 100 more than Air M5. But the advantages USB-A, 120hz, slightly better performance, shall not be ignored anymore.
Laptop 15 inch is the same price as Air M5 15-inch.
Surface Pro 13-inch is 50US$ more than Pro 12-inch. But in a slightly tough spot because its design is in no way a tablet, for people who just want it like a tablet somehow.
Hi, I just got a new surface laptop for work. It's the new 2026 model with the Snapdragon X2 Elite chip and 16gb of RAM with 512gb of SSD.
Any recommendations or things I should know before I start using it would be great. This is my first surface laptop. Thanks!
Ok so basically I just bought a Pro 7+ second hand, i7, 16GB RAM, 512SSD. It was a good deal and I need to replace my Pro 4 which is struggling. Anyways, despite being, according to Microsoft, Windows 11 compatible, whenever I install that operating system I get a black screen and mouse. I can see the shutdown screen, and I can access Safe Mode but standard Windows 11 produces no display. I'm sure its up and running in the background but I cannot access a command prompt or anything else as I can not see it.
Has anyone else had this? Is there a workaround?
It runs Windows 10 just fine but I did buy it on the basis that I could move to a supported operating system.
Thanks in advance.
This morning i was using my Pro 7+ normally and went to plug it in when battery was at 28%. After about an hour it gave a warning for low battery at 5% despite registering as charging. I tried restarting it a couple times to see if it was just detecting the wrong percentage but continued going down while still plugged in. Once it reached zero it shut off and will only turn on for a few seconds after charging for several minutes before dying again.
On the second attempt it the boot screen said "Diagnosing your PC" and after several it said "Automatic Repair".
I'm hoping this is just a faulty charger but I'd rather know if this moght be a greater issue befor spending money on a replacement
My SP7+ was drained of battery overnight by accidentally being left on and not plugged in.
I charged it, but it cannot get past the surface logo at boot.
I can't even get into the UEFI. I even tried booting a Windows Recovery USB to no avail.
Is it fried?
Is there anything I may not have tried yet?
hello, so I returned my surface 8 x elite 2 cause I feel like its not much better than surface 7. I printed the return label they requested for me from ups and ups sent it to their warehouse in toronto(its confirmed delivered).It looks like microsoft lost the package and claiming they never received it...its microsoft canada..what am I suppose to do here? were talking over 4.5k can?
I am looking to buy a new Surface Pro, and I can see that Intel processors are now reserved for businesses (you can get it for double the price 😢)
Have you found compatibility issues with the ARM processor? Things like Steam games, or any other that comes to mind?
EAC now works on Elden Ring on Snapdragon X devices, so decided to make a video on the Surface Pro 11! It works really nicely on Low settings at 1080p.
Trying to re-install Windows on a Surface Pro 11 due to constant blue screens and being stuck in a reboot loop. However I can't get the tablet to detect any USB device with the recovery image on it no matter what I do. I've tried two different USB C drives, tried a USB A 3.0 drive with an A to C adapter cable, both different recovery images available from Windows, etc. and absolutely nothing gets the tablet to initiate the USB reinstall of Windows.
Would love some advice before I just bite the bullet and attempt getting a completely new hard drive and installing it and seeing if that allows the drive to be detected as there won't be any Windows on the drive to start with.
I have a Pro 3 that's stuck in a boot loop, probably still on Win 8. I tried just installing win 11 but I can't due to Bitlocker. I don't care about any data on it as atp it's either outdated or was already backed up. I have no way to get the Bitlocker key (even then I can't even get to a screen to input the key) due to the original account being locked out after years. Advice appreciated.
My right shift key on my surface laptop has been acting up for weeks. Canned air helps temporarily, but it eventually will stop working unless I press repeatedly.
Well, I lost my patience at work today and decided to try to pop off the key to clean underneath. And immediately one of the tiny little plastic hook things (idk what they are called) broke off the back of the key, and both hinges broke. I am an idiot. I know. but also why are these damn keys so fragile?
To make it worse and lose all credibility for myself, this is not the first time it has happened. No. I've had three different surface product keyboards -- the surface pro, the surface laptop, and the surface keyboard. And I've broken keys on all of them in pretty much the exact same way. I wish they were more robust.
