Surface GIVEAWAY contestants gather here

[Damian Powell1]

Can't wait to see what me chances are! Good luck everyone! :smile:

Planning to give this laptop for my mom whether I win this or not. I think Windows 10 S is made for people like her who never got use to the desktop UI and is perfectly happy using a Windows PC in tablet mode. Having the extra security of never being able to run x86 apps is a plus.

Would be great to get the new surface laptop although I wouldn't see much of it after my kids get a hold of it

 

[Keeptechcoolandsimple]

Of course I want one. I use my surface pro 4 heavily but the one thing it isn't good at is using it like a laptop on an actual lap, because of the kickstand. For situations where I need a keyboard but no stable surface, I could go for the traditional laptop form factor

I have always wanted and needed one but the price tag, jeez, I just can't afford it, the pricing is too much for middle class Indian folks like me. I literally have to think ?????? hundred times before even thinking of getting a hold of one

 

[john Hmar mawi]

Thumps up on that.

 

[john Hmar mawi]

Thou I'd use it for browsing and doing my office work. Gaming on it is not an option. But I need one so bad. May the lucky one wins.

 

[krs4444]

It is worldwide!! :sweaty:
I want one for my wife :amaze:

 

[Omega Ra]

Been thinking about how if I win this PC whether or not to keep Windows 10 S on it, or take advantage the free upgrade to Pro (which most likely would be the case), but I want to seriously think about using Windows 10 S for awhile and see if I can use it.
First you guys should read 2 articles on Thurrott.com in which they talk about the feature of Web Apps and also if one can possible use a PC without any win32 applications.
https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/116101/microsoft-said-progressive-web-apps-build
and https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/116156/hunt-great-web-apps

In the first article Paul Thurrott talks about something that I missed from the build announcement which are Progressive Web Application, which are web apps that work like native applications, for anyone following the HTML5 this is similar to what HTML5 is suppose to bring.

So in this image one is the native Android app and the other PWA.

I wonder how fast Microsoft can bring this promise to life or is this another experiment that will never see the light of day.


I have also examine how many win32 applications I currently use:
Visual Studio
Paint
Paint.net
Notepad++
Code
Spotify
Plus some others

I can use these apps on a desktop that I'm currently building, and if I win the laptop I can use it for web browsing, research, and writing. I use the web version of Twitter and Facebook so that's not a real issue.

I wonder how many currently use win32 applications, and if you do can you use a PC without it?

same here, they have destroyed my current laptop lol

 

[Lobbie1978]

I'm a dj and producer and I would love a Surface Laptop! Does anyone know how a DAW like Cubase would run on one of these babies? Almost everyone in the music industry uses MacBook. I'd like to show them they are missing out by showing them the Surface Laptop will kick a MacBook's butt!

I couldn't. I'm a music producer and I need to run Cubase on it. So I would immediately upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. Although I'm very curious in the performance differences between the two. Since the registry in W10S isn't smothered with all sorts of stuff in the end, would it stay better performant over time in comparison to Windows 10 Pro?

 

[JonnieTamares]

I can't afford these high-end Surface Laptop, that's why I'm here to be counted and to win.

 

[Cheetah087]

This laptop looks amazing, my HP laptop is sleeping with the fishes. It's so old. I'm in the market for a new one. I'm a uni student and was going to go with the surface pro 4, but now I'm thinking the surface laptop. Would be putting windows pro on it straight away.

 

[Patrick Gold]

Would totally love the new gold one. Love my Gen 1 surface pro.
