Microsoft Surface

“I'd also go for an iPad/Surface form factor with detachable keyboard if I had to.”

“I did find it was handy to scroll with the touch screen occasionally.”

“The combination of an actual keyboard and touch is very efficient.”

“Only the Surface line, as in where the tablet is the main form with an optional keyboard makes sense here.”

“I had a surface pro and later a surface book, and i think i can count on 1 hand the number of times i found touch to be useful.”

“the MSFT surface is brilliant because you can fold it down into an iPad like device”

“The Surface Pro is a nice piece of hardware, but I wish it had macOS instead of Windows.”

“The worst my family have had was an MS surface running a rolling release distro because it was the only way to get the touchscreen working which failed at a bad time.”

“Change the spec and the LLM could rebuild the whole application with that one change.”

“as someone who has used the Surface line of devices since they became good”

“Surface Pro with Debian KDE here. I just dressed it up like Windows 7, because I need more Fruitiger Aero in my life.”

“It was great for travelling with since it was so lightweight and easy to use in cramped airplane seats.”

“the confusion (is it arm is it x86 will your printer drivers work?) and some questionable decisions, it fell flat”

“no other company (except maybe Microsoft with the surface line) can string together direct competition”

“You have to pay me to use Microsoft. There software has become garbage and alternatives are far more better.”

“It was a phenomenal device for me in college for notes given I had my own wireless keyboard”

“Plenty of cases where Surface isn't. Microsoft like to think they can make hardware but they're no better than other OEM”

“Tablet form factor, lightweight, multitouch, with a real desktop OS”

“I have been using a Surface Pro with fedora as my main portable device for the last 2 years and enjoyed it.”

“they're better laptops than actual laptops for what I need a laptop to do”

“they actually cared about build quality in a way pretty much no other PC manufacturer did”

“The frustration of that SP4 where every bodies screen would jitter and they would just stoiclly send me a replacement with the same problem.”

“Or every model after that just slowed down to a crawl after a year.”

“They're decent tablets that run full Windows/Linux instead of some neutered tablet OS”

“The only other tablet that fits my needs is a gosh darn Surface which is like 1000$.”

“so it's all in the screen, and add the keyboard you want”

“I've NEVER seen this happen with any other device, they always lose state after enough time unplugged”

“The surface laptops have ended up being good laptops and mediocre/bad tablets IMO.”

“I'm very unlikely to buy or recommend a Microsoft computer again, even though I liked the hardware.”

“I have regular issues with waking from sleep, or more commonly, the battery will just be completely dead in the morning”

“I can't think of another company on the PC side whose consumer line of hardware's build quality hasn't declined to the level of junk.”

“The surface I have is barely hanging together, the charger is extremely finicky and will stop charging randomly.”

“Vue, Svelte, and Surface manage to do this without forcing you to inline all your styles”

“I have the same amount of lag in Windows as in Linux on my Surface Pro 9.”

“I just sold one to her, partially on the security and privacy advantages of Linux.”

“The hardware is great, though, I love the 12” Surface with the X1E.”

“even the Surface Pro line with around 3K displays has double digit battery life for office type tasks”

“I've always thought that the Surface Pro was a good idea, just with the wrong operating system.”

“the one they did add just so happens to be the one they were shipping in one of their Surface products”

“The surface make a poor tablet but that's mostly because the hardware isn't suitable for it anyway”
