Excellent design, love the addition of a touchpad on the keyboard and the kickstand, both that are missing on the Yoga 9i. The weight is also quite low. 3:2 screens (or thin inner bezels) would have been nice for in portrait mode but still very nice device.

Interesting device, especially useful if you are going to use it as 2 devices at the same time (1 docked laptop and 1 digital notebook or such). But seems also limited in some situations, like if you need a Windows tablet for full Office or drawing program (unless I am missing some hidden...

"I’m told Surface Laptop 6 will also have an expanded selection of ports, including two USB-C ports and one USB-A port,", why no microsd port? MS kindy blows with port selection nowadays, this used to be a strong feature of older Surface devices. Pro 7/7+ was almost perfect. Well the Surface Go...

Good read, Surface Book has an awesome form factor. The only elephant in the room is that you pay a premium for a device that is relatively unstable (although the SB3 is probably the most stable of the 3 iterations). The SLS seems to be more reliable because of its less exotic form factor while...

Internal one might be worth it but it is clearly not ready yet but definitely a possibility for future models. A Qualcomm version is likely worse price/performance ratio (a 7xx series is an option but it might be too slow while 8xx series would bring it closer to Pro X entry prices and so would...

Nice thread. Some kind of automatic mode is a good idea and should be possible for Asus to implement since minimum requirements of games are a given (or they could have some kind of smart adaptive mode that tracks your fps).

Cash grab than, would have been nice if they gave it the same treatment they did with the remasters of AOE.

True, even Lenovo was caught having Superfish on several generations of laptops ( this article sums them up: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/lenovo-settlement-superfish-scandal-progress,38657.html ). Some OEMs also let the bloatware/junk be installed through the Bios so even if you do a fresh...

Pretty cool Surface Laptop Studio clone. Cheap for what you get but some big drawbacks which might be a dealbreaker: entry performance (celeron cpu), according to review section bad battery life and I would guess that the overall build quality is mediocre (considering how cheap it is, that...

I am not entirely sure why, but I think it is because Amd has been focusing on apu's for quite some time and since Ryzen they hit the bullseye. While Intel seems to only really improve igpu every few iterations.

I think both 11" and 15-16" Surface Pro devices make sense. Both more niche than the 13" one but have valid niche use-cases (especially from a professional point of view, otherwise Surface Go might make more sense). And on my Surface Go (10.5") I never use control panel regularly anyway, only...

How much faster is the N200 igpu compared to the UHD Graphics 615? I read that the N200 uses a weaker version of Xe graphics, but can we still expect a 30-50% boost or is it less?

, take a look at the business laptops (Dell Latitude, Thinkpad, HP Elite). Or perhaps even better: laptops with multiple charging ports (like 2 or 3 usb-c charging ports, than when one breaks you still have another leftover). Newer Microsoft Surface devices might also be something to look at...

Sounds to me like there is something miss with the mobo. Do you still have warranty on it? Or you could send back the new ram and get a 8 gb ram stick for the 2nd slot only.

, that is possible, I am still on Windows 10 with my Go 2. I heard doing a fresh reinstall of W11 can fix certain issues but it might be a bit drastic for this, probably better to set the timezone manually for now.
