    Geekbench benchmarks for new Surface device (Go 4?)

    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...

    Asus Rog Ally

    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).

    Too good to be true??

    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...

    Too good to be true??

    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...

    What laptop has the most robust AC power port?

    , 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...

    RAM not detected

    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.

    Windows 11 automatic time zone

    , 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.

    surface pro 8

    , I am not sure about Windows 11 but in Windows 10 there is a legacy onscreen keyboard that stays on the screen till manually closed. Also if the default onscreen keyboard does not show, than maybe you have turned it off in the Settings of Windows 11. Certain legacy/older programs also do not...

    Moving from MacBook Pro to Windows hardware / Laptop

    , Hi cityghostBC , what seems most important is that you need a laptop with a good display (mainly high sRGB / AdobeRGB). That generally means skipping budget and midrange laptops and looking at 'highend' Windows laptops (though often cheaper than Macbooks). This also helps with avoiding...

    Surface Pro X Printer Question

    , here something I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/surfaceprox/comments/hg0fpp/list_of_printers_that_play_nice_with_surface_pro_x/ Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3733 Brother HL-2170w Canon MG3050 This may help for HP printers...

    Is there a way to have windows resized to fit content, like in Mac OS?

    , probably not, maybe a 3rd party program if you're lucky. It seems a bit counter-productive for work scenarios I think if a window bounds regularly changes. Maybe try Powertoys Fancyzones and make a custom arrangement where you leave some space at the borders, that might look as good and make...

    950 XL - quiet hours

    , it has been a while I used windows phone as my primary phone but you may want to try searching for 'focus assist' (without the quotes) or Cortana (not cortina) or something like quit or busy. It could also be that the background processes are slowly breaking because it's a old unsupported...

    Which Windows 10 launcher do you think is best for Android?

    Hi, I just saw this video: Best Android Launcher 2020 - Turn your phone into windows 10 Desktop computer!!! - Computer Launcher - YouTube Now in the video the buttons are very small but there are apparently other Windows 10 launcher apps for Android that have bigger buttons. What I liked though...

    New to the family - Just ordered a Duo

    , I prefer a card too though a bank card but below a certain amount (and below ... max a day so practically it is safe) it is contact-less without pin, more convenient than a phone imo. Especially since phones are phablets now (excluding a few models).

    Does anyone know how to disassemble a Windows Explorer Mini Mouse (1363)?

    , maybe some part/plate that you need to remove first that hides the screws. I see manufacturers do this all the time, like in this video on 0:47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mdpiUgs3-8
