If none of the 8GB ram SP Pros is fanless, I might take the new SP Go :/ Guess I'll give up on gaming then.

I've heard rumors of a Go refresh with a Core m3. Hopefully there's a model with 256 GB of base storage that will be sold to the public this time.

Oh man I would be so tempted to upgrade to a Core m3 Go! I love my current one, but it's just a little bit too slow for some touch screen games that I'd really like to play. Gosh, feels like it would be a waste though. I wonder if I could do something with my old one, like mount it on the wall and use it for home automation.

So rumored models of SP7 are:

  • Microsoft Surface Pro 7, Intel Core i3, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 7, Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 7, Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 7, Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 7, Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
Still going with 4GB in the cheapest model? :/
Where'd you see that rumor?

If that's true, then they all better have a steep price drop from the previous generation.

MS should just make an Android device. Recently got a OP7 Pro and Microsoft's the shit out of it. Using the MS Launcher, Edge, and all the other helpful MS Apps. And it is amazing.

I could see MS nailing it on software and really optimizing Android. We desperately need a third player is the mobile arena.

I agree with this post, especially the bold part.

When I was on Android that's exactly what I did. Hell, on IOS I still use Edge.

Question:

Given all the rumors are about Surface Laptop and Pro, sounds like nothing is planned for the Book? If that's the case, would it be worth it to trade in the Surface Laptop 1 for the Book? Before the 1 values go even lower?

Verge says most likely no Book 3 but I don't think that rules out a spec bump (new processors/thunderbolt).

I've been keeping an eye out because I need a laptop and this is discouraging. It's 2019 and I'm still expected to pay some ridiculous premium for 16 gigs of ram?

I really want to see a new Surface Book, but I can wait a year or two while using my Surface Pro 4. My wife just got a SP6 and finds it hands over fist better than her work issued Macbook Pro.

Damn right! I can't stand Samsung's software, Google's priority of selling my information as their top priority has caused me to ditch Chrome on PC and Android, and I would like to see their take on an Android smartphone.

My household is rocking two i5 SP3's, I'm going to be looking at this event reallll hard.

I'm hoping the pricing is a bit lower for these 7's, I don't see the cost justification for these tablet-only prices anymore.

Yall think an SP6 is still a good buy in 2019/2020?

I'm really tempted to check this out

Do it, I finally had to put 3 generations of Windows phone to bed earlier this year and I've fully windows phoned my S9, it was a difficult transition and Android is so damn stubborn with across the board dark mode stuff.

Windows phone keyboard is the greatest of all time and it will never be topped, it physically pains me not having it anymore

There's a few other windows phone launchers, is it generally agreed that this one is the best of the lot?

Agreed about the Windows phone keyboard, I've tried 3 or 4 different android keyboards and none of them feel nearly as good and accurate as quickly swiping on my Lumia 920.

Very excited to see the dual screen device. No way I'm getting it but MS has the coolest hardware team so it should be interesting.

Microsoft actually maintains their own version of the Linux kernel now thanks to Windows Subsystem for Linux V2.

I wonder if they could make some kind of bastard operating system with the Linux kernel, Windows Phone userland, and just enough Android code to get app compatibility.

Oh my god, talking about the perfect instrument. This is Apple-level of smelling their own farts, but with even more fluff and waffle. 5 minutes of someone playing a piano.

That looks pretty nice.
This dude has been watching way too many Steve Jobs presentation videos though.
