I know a couple of new high school freshman (one is my daughter) who have bought Surface Gos. In each case, it was a pretty simple explanation: "My backpack is already too heavy. This is a small Windows PC that weights a pound." It's the same reason I bought one for myself. For routine...

Thanks, HeyCori. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the update, and it still failed. I have also done a fresh install of Windows, and the update continues to fail. I have run the troubleshooter, and it simply says it failed to identify the problem. Has anyone else with the 4GB successfully...

I picked up two Surface Gos today - one 8GB and one 4GB. I switched the 8GB S mode off, but left it on on the 4GB model. I was able to install all updates on the 8 GB model without issues, but the cumulative update for the 4GB model failed repeatedly after more than a dozen tries. It...

I did a fresh install of windows, and ran into the same problem with it not recognizing my headset. So I did the same LowFilter registry edit, which got the headset recognized. After that, Mixed Reality started working and it seems to be working fine now. My daughter is playing Minecraft in...

Thanks, Kris. I don't need it to be "ultra." I'm fine with "normal." It passes the Mixed Reality check, but with the warning that it may be limited in some respects. But I'm not even getting "limited in some respects." Checking the forums, there are a lot of people getting the same problems...

So I got a Dell Visor for my daughter for Christmas. Working great with my desktop. But it's giving me nightmares on the Surface Book (original model with i7 and dGPU) that she inherited from me when I got my Surface Book 2. I'm using the Surface Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter. First, the...

I'm getting massive cursor lag (or drift, or float, or whatever you want to call it). It happens whether I use the trackpad or Bluetooth mouse. I'm on Version 1709, build 16299.98. Is anyone else having this problem?

i7/dGPU/512GB model. So far, the machine is flawless. No glitches, and everything is running great. One thing I definitely notice is how quiet it is. I had the original SB, and while it was a great machine, the fans would kick on when it was active, and sometimes they were quite noticeable...

I already picked up a 200GB microSD and the adapter that fits perfectly. So I think I'm set for storage.

I ordered the i7/512GB 13". Excited for Thursday (but hoping they screw up and deliver it tomorrow . . .)

I think the price is right for what you get. If you're willing to tolerate much more weight, then you can get similar specs cheaper. But this is what I would expect to pay for these specs in a 3-lb device. Which is why I pre-ordered one. Thursday can't come fast enough!

I purchased a Surface Dial this afternoon. I am using it with my Surface Book, which is connected to a Surface Dock. The dock is connected to dual Dell 27” monitors. I am using the Surface ergonomic keyboard and Surface mouse. The Dial is a really slick piece of hardware. It fits the hand...

In my hand. Like a pad of paper. I don't need anything else, so no need for a backpack.

I have had no problems with the stylus/inking on my SB. Were the problems just in OneNote? If not, maybe this was a battery issue?

Apple's answer will be: "We made the iMac even thinner!"
