[LAPTOP] Surface laptop 3 worth £80?

0 Upvotes

I recently came across this deal for a Microsoft surface laptop for £80 it Boots up and is advertising as "great condition".

It has an Intel i5, 8gb ram and a 128gb ssd. I know these specs are not much I was thinking picking it up for a beater laptop (one you don't care about much) while I save for something better. It does have some missing feet on the bottom but its no big deal.

Note: I am not the guy in the last picture.

I have never really owned surface except from a surface pro 6 with a faulty screen.

It is getting a lot of traction on the listing I have no idea if it would be worth it.

Any answer helps, thank you.

Can we PLEASE have a Surface Go 5 with ARM?

It's not only adorable, but it would actually be my perfect work device.

12" is too big. I don't want it.

Testing device: Asus Proart P16(N1X 20C)

Although this was a test of ASUS’s ProArt product, since it is based on the same hardware, we can make a rough assessment of the performance of the Surface Laptop Ultra, which will be released tomorrow. And the performance is so abysmally low that I'll spare any further comment.

Hey everyone, I recently bought a Surface Pro 12, and I’m having a weird issue with the pen while the device is charging.

Whenever I try to write or draw while it's plugged in, it either creates crazy ghost strokes (weird artifacts) or just doesn't register my writing at all.

You can see exactly what I mean in the video I attached.

Is anyone else experiencing this with their Surface Pro 12?

If you had this issue and managed to fix it, please let me know how you did it!

[PRO9] Surface Pro 9 (16GB, I7, 512GB)

Is it worth getting the Surface Pro 9 in this configuration in 2026?

Looking for something for university and basic browsing, watching videos and stuff like that.

I already have a pretty good gaming PC so i wouldn’t use the laptop for heavier stuff.

Price is 480$ and the laptop has 89% percent battery health. Thanks in advance.

[APP] Can anyone recommend a good overlay drawing app for the Surface Pro 12?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been using Epic Pen, but the palm rejection is practically non-existent. I also tried gInk as an alternative, but it has the exact same issue where palm rejection barely works.

Everything worked totally fine back when I was using a Surface Pro 7+. But ever since upgrading to the Surface Pro 12, these apps just don't work like they used to.

Is there any other overlay drawing app that has proper palm rejection on the Surface Pro 12?

160 Watt USB C charger and Techgear USB C to surface connect cable safe?

3 Upvotes

Is it OK to use Anker 160 watt charger with Surafce pro 8 and surface book 2. One of my MS Chargering Brick has died( as usual!) and I do not want to buy another MS charger any more. They are not reliable at all.

I want to use a USB C charger with a USB C to Surface connect cable. I have two questions:

Is it safe to use a 160 or 120 Watt Anker charger that is capable to giving current at 20V ( in addition to 15V)

2- Can I use thie TECHGEAR USB-C to Surface Connect Charging Cable with it?

Thank you
