NVIDIA N1x is the Company's Arm Notebook Superchip

It is. The emulation has improved significantly from the Surface Pro X era. I am not certain why users here are expressing negative sentiment because for the vast majority of users, it just works now. The only cases are power user corner cases so do not pay attention to the hate. I only use the Luna

Best Choice for a Student

As with all things "It depends" is the answer. That said, I'm an older physics student (this is my second degree) taking advanced classes and the Surface Pro 11 has really been fantastic. The Surface Pro feels made for STEM. For all practical purposes, it's basically as good for note-taking as the i

Two-year-old Surface PCs get $300 price hikes as sub-$1,000 models go away

ipad pro seems like a way better value proposition at that price point I had an iPad Pro prior, and I disagree. I got fed up with not being able to do any serious work on the thing, and being locked down on a device I paid significant money for. Again, I hate what Windows has become, but at least I

iPad Pro vs Surface Pro

I’m on my phone, so a short answer. I use an iPad Pro M4 with 1 TB and a surface pro 11th edition with the X Elite with 16 GB RAM. Short answer: if you do not need any specific apps, then the Surface is almost a no-brainer. But only almost. Windows 11 is a full desktop operating system. Microsoft’s

Considering switching to Surface from Mac + iPad

It's a really good balance between a tablet (that isn't just a bigger phone, especially paired with the pen) and a laptop (full version of Windows). Performance is still really good on SP11 (Surface Pro 11), and you can get around 10h of battery life with normal usage. Nothing groundbreaking, but it

Really want a surface pro 11

I just got a SP11 a couple weeks ago. Prior to that, I’ve never used or owned Microsoft first-party hardware. For context, I primarily use Apple products (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro) and use this primarily for work (emails, using browser-based applications, reading some PDFs). I bought the keyboard a

Computer died. Anyone running Ableton on a Windows tablet?

Ive been running Ableton live on a Microsoft Surface pro 7+ for almost 5 years now. Is a 11th gen i7 with 16GB ram. I use it for recording my own songs and arranging keys and synth parts for my band. I'm typically using up to 30 tracks, maybe 10 or so virtual synths and pianos, most quite demanding

So I accidentally bought the Surface Pro 11 (13”) over the Surface Pro 12”

Microsoft has badly bungled how they name and market the Surface line. They even had a "Surface Pro X" and a "Surface Pro 10" which are not the same model! Having two different "13-inch", "11th edition" models and a "12-inch" model (unknown edition) on sale at the same time is frankly incompetent. T

Why is shopping for a Surface so confusing?

Okay, so you have some easy options. Unless you want an older device you'll want to buy a Surface Pro 11 or Surface Laptop 7 for Business with Intel. You can buy direct from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/b/business or from certain consumer retailers that stock them for example bot

Can I install 86/64 on surface pro 11?

I just returned my arm based sp11 because I had problem after problem running audio device drivers, went with an Intel based one and everything is groovy. I don't think you're going to be happy with the arm platform, at least until Microsoft delivers on their promise of some sort of asio layer for c
