Surface Go

I'll buck the trend. Go big or go home.

iPhone 6S (for consumption / email and casual note taking) & SP2017/i7

...really fun to watch everyone enjoy their new toys (and I don't mean that disparagingly)…


to... staying with what I have. Don't want to incur another device to sync and don't think I'd get $600 value over current setup.

 

I'm NOT wedded to the SG LTE (yet) - mostly because I am so loving the Wacom EMR experience. But for size, weight, and lack of LTE, the GB12 will run circles around the Pentium SG, the GB12 screen is to die for, but the lack of a kickstand is the "kicker" so to speak. The Pros vs Cons worksheet is a bloody mess...

My gut (and brain) say the GB12 is a no-brainer; gadget lust says "look at that magnesium beauty over there."

 

"I ain't got no satisfaction" (Tech-lust version)

 

If I had any doubt about the SG, today's firmware update indicating that MS is paying attention to the pen issues on its tablets, gave me a bit more comfort that my decision to get one is correct. I'm just waiting for LTE. I just wish I had a real timeline on its release. Galaxy Book 10s keep popping up on FleaBay at incredible prices. There are new-open box items for $350 or less. Used units go for under $300. If the SG is going to be six months, I would seriously consider a GB10 to fill the gap. I spend that much in my monthly poker game.

Congratulations on your Note 8. I think it is a smart move. I don't see anything that the nine offers other than a much bigger price tag.

 

I agree with @Bronsky. That GB10 sure looks appealing, if nothing else because of the Wacom. Perfect synergy with the Note series. I just can't wait for September!

 

Be aware I discovered the Gb10 has some serious palm rejection issues a notetaker like you might find unbearable.
I'll try and post a video of what I mean later on the Galaxy Book thread.

 

Yep, worked. Considering how extensive that panel is, it should always be included. Odd

Much better, thanks!

I'm not sure what the purpose of that dimming is (besides battery saving), but it forces me to refocus constantly.

First impression of this after fiddling with it for about 4 hours, is that it's a big improvement on the S3 (and they even have a normal AC adapter) Amazing.

 

Your enthusiasm for the GB12 made me take a stroll through YouTube! to see what all the fuss was about. I liked these two from Lisa Gade:



I'd be concerned and interested in your opinion on...

1. How do you like the folio keyboard and how much typing do you do on it? SP2017's cover was a HUGE improvement over SP2. I like the angle, key throw and trackpad. GB12 doesn't look as good.

2. What is your docking solution? How robust is it in comparison to Microsoft's solution?


3. Screen does sound "gorgeous", but I like having my taskbar and not worrying about burn in. Do you miss taskbar?

 

What firmware update are you referring to?

I was referring to the firmware update released for the Pro.
