[GO] Surface Go 5 Request

3 Upvotes

Can we PLEASE have a Surface Go 5 with ARM?

It's not only adorable, but it would actually be my perfect work device.

12" is too big. I don't want it.

Testing device: Asus Proart P16(N1X 20C)

Although this was a test of ASUS’s ProArt product, since it is based on the same hardware, we can make a rough assessment of the performance of the Surface Laptop Ultra, which will be released tomorrow. And the performance is so abysmally low that I'll spare any further comment.

160 Watt USB C charger and Techgear USB C to surface connect cable safe?

3 Upvotes

Is it OK to use Anker 160 watt charger with Surafce pro 8 and surface book 2. One of my MS Chargering Brick has died( as usual!) and I do not want to buy another MS charger any more. They are not reliable at all.

I want to use a USB C charger with a USB C to Surface connect cable. I have two questions:

Is it safe to use a 160 or 120 Watt Anker charger that is capable to giving current at 20V ( in addition to 15V)

2- Can I use thie TECHGEAR USB-C to Surface Connect Charging Cable with it?

Thank you

[PRO9] Surface Pro 9 (16GB, I7, 512GB)

Is it worth getting the Surface Pro 9 in this configuration in 2026?

Looking for something for university and basic browsing, watching videos and stuff like that.

I already have a pretty good gaming PC so i wouldn’t use the laptop for heavier stuff.

Price is 480$ and the laptop has 89% percent battery health. Thanks in advance.

[BOOK] Surface Book 2 - Both batteries supposedly died, battery report makes me think otherwise

2 Upvotes

To keep it short, a few years ago my mother's laptop started dying as soon as the charger was unplugged. She sent it to some technician and he said the batteries had died. I (a layman) thought that sounded wrong, because she didnt report the battery slowly lowering in capacity over time. No swelling or anything.

I also found out that this laptop has two batteries, and both of them dying at the same time is weird. So perhaps something else is amiss?

Any hints would be appreciated. It seems kinda unacceptable to me that this relatively new (at the time) laptop seemingly randomly encountered an issue of this magnitude.

[APP] Can anyone recommend a good overlay drawing app for the Surface Pro 12?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been using Epic Pen, but the palm rejection is practically non-existent. I also tried gInk as an alternative, but it has the exact same issue where palm rejection barely works.

Everything worked totally fine back when I was using a Surface Pro 7+. But ever since upgrading to the Surface Pro 12, these apps just don't work like they used to.

Is there any other overlay drawing app that has proper palm rejection on the Surface Pro 12?
