The slightly older ones make great Linux tablets. I use mine for comics.

Not really sure how big of a difference it makes but isn't the memory on the Neo on the same die as the processor? The A18 Pro is also likely a lot of old binned chips that they've been collecting for a year. I wouldn't be surprises if this completely isolated them from the rising memory costs. Apple really lucked out on the timing of their release. Not that the Neo wouldn't have been an amazing value regardless either way.

And it uses literally the same exact hardware as the iPhone 🤣

“Due to COVID we are temporarily suspending the trolley service in your train”. Never returned.

“Due to COVID, we have temporarily removed your inflight magazine”. Never returned.

“Due to COVID, we now temporarily only clean your hotel room if you request it”. Still have to request a room clean.

“Due to COVID, the salad bar has been temporarily suspended”. Still no salad bar.

“Due to COVID, you now have to book a slot to go to the tip”. Still have to book a slot.

“Due to COVID, the sleeper train has been temporarily suspended”. Never returned.

These are just the examples I can think of.

Here in Sweden the government recently lowered taxes on groceries so that the stores would lower their prices for customers. lol

Until we kill every billionaire. This turns the gamers

Everyone in the Netflix daredevil universe uses it. 

I have a surface pro 4. I love these machines. You can use it like a tablet, you can use it like a laptop. It's great for drawing and taking notes by hand.

The only problem is Windows, but that's not a big problem for the average person. The price of the new ones is a problem but I think the form factor is awesome.

I love my Surface Snapdragon X. Battery life up the wazoo and I use it largely as a thin client to windows and linux systems so it lasts forever.

I did debloat it heavily though.

And someone will probably say why not install Linux on it, to which I say...for everything I use I've yet to find a Linux distro that works without hours of custom efforts. I work 7 days a week and don't have time to dive down rabbit holes every day to fix shit like my mouse, or my bluetooth ear buds, or RDP, or parsec, or nomachine, or wifi.

I saw one around ten years ago. My boss bought it, used it for a week and bought a new mac.

OS was the main issue for him.

I used one in school a couple years ago, and I can't deny it was pretty great for it. I like to handwrite my notes, and any math-heavy assignments are way easier to just handwrite, so I used it so all my notes and homework and textbooks could be saved digitally and automatically get backed up to cloud storage. I still use it occasionally as a super light and portable laptop occasionally, but I use a desktop far more often these days.

Thé surface until 8 included run Linux amazingly. That one thing you have yo give to microslop it know how to make Linux shine. Look for the project surface linux these guys are amazing.

https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface makes most of the features "just work" in mainstream distros on these devices.

In the laptop that can also be a decent tablet sometimes space, the brand still does really well, though most people are probably fine with tablet that can be a decent laptop sometimes. Hopefully mobile linux projects like mobian and postmarketos allow the later idea have more than iOS and Android as viable options soon.

Surprising good for small companies that don’t want to deal with hardware maintenance but are already in the m365 ecosystem.

Updates for drivers, firmware, etc comes right from windows update and not from a 3rd party app like dell/hp/lenovo business-oriented devices do.
