dissss

I wonder what the plans for the 13" Pro are now? It’s the odd one out with the touchbar now so it’ll be interesting to see if they update it, or just kill it in favour of the Air

Just switch the camera off. No one will care

Well hopefully the roll that out to my part of the world before I get a new phone

I guess the advantage is you can permanently mount this thing in the car and just leave your phone in your pocket – no need to plug in every time.

The again you’re probably going to want to plug the phone in anyway if you’re in the car for more than a brief amount of time to stop the battery draining

Also:

I use the phone’s Android Auto app and it gives me nice big clean interface and navigation too.

Don’t get too used to that, AA for Phone screens is going away

Mine was brand new, but it was late 2018 so was not the current model by then.

My toddler killed it last week anyway so I’m awaiting an insurance replacement now – will be interesting to see if the new one is any better.

They don’t (usually) break completely but they always get loose with usage

Standby battery is good sure, but is use my 10.5 never got more than 6 hours even when new. I guess it’s the combination of a small battery and early high refresh screen

It’s perfectly adequate as an Office/Teams machine

Lol. My quad core i7 laptop with 16GB of RAM and an NVMe SSD struggles with that usage

Your results would indicate huge throttling

Exactly. Unfortunately that is a very, very common issue on 10th and 11th gen Intel

The thickest part of the base of my HP ultrabook is about 10mm (screen is close to 5 and there is a slight gap). That’s comparable.

As for the screen getting hot, yes that is a consideration but only one that would make sense if the AMD CPUs ran hotter than Intel and that’s more a matter of tuning than the chips themselves

You can’t upgrade memory and the SSD is kind of an uncommon form factor though

There is no technical reason that a detachable tablet like the Surface Pro would need to use a different CPU to a normal ultra thin laptop or convertible.

Pretty sure a 4680u isn’t any hotter than an 1185G7

Would be more palatable if the base storage was bumped up to 256GB to match the Air.

Curious as to what sort of clocks this can maintain in a sustained workload.

I’m currently using an HP ultralight with an 1185G7 and it really struggles with even just web and Teams – it’ll pull PL1 back to 13W extremely quickly and that’s only 1.7GHz all cores

There isn’t a Ryzen processor available to put in the Surface Pro

What do you mean?

The Model 3 is in no way shape or form a luxury car
