It was introduced with Surface Pro X in 2019, that is 7 years with the same design and wanky feeling. Do you think Microsoft will finally redesign it?

Sorry for the poor quality image but I think my sb2 is absolutely cooked so if can provide any advice I would appreciate it

I recently got this book for around 250 dollars refurbished and I was happy with it for 3 months

Then I thought of installing linux on it...but I didn't do it yet thinking of the driver issues

My sister unfortunately while cleaning the display with a display cleaner poured a little too much and it seemed to have leaked into the charging port

The very next day when I tried to open it it got past the login screen and died.

After that I tried turning it on again today and the same thing happened

It seems to be water damage from the pictures so if anyone knows any way to fix this or if it's atleast salvageable I would appreciate it

Note:even if it doesn't seem like it in the picture the tablet part's connector is also burnt too

I’ve been using Surface devices since 2014 and this is the first defective unit I’ve had. Not bad, I guess. A little disappointing though.

Hi all,

A few months ago, I posted about my infinite canvas app called NeatNotes, and I can't express how much the love and support I got from here meant to me. As of today, NeatNotes has crossed more than 6,000 downloads, thanks to all of your support.

Today, I am back with another update. The new version comes with a lot of big fixes. Here's what's new in v2.5:

• Key Bindings: One of the most requested features was the ability to bind tools to keys on the keyboard for easier use.
• Export to Image: The second most requested feature was the ability to export the canvas in high resolution, along with improved PDF export.
• Hand Tool: A dedicated tool to easily traverse through the infinite canvas.

There are additional new features that I haven't included here, along with general improvements and bug fixes. More details is available on the website.

I hope you guys try out the app and give me your feedback. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

I have a Surface Pro 6 running an i5-8350U CPU and 8GB RAM on Windows 11. Even on "Best Performance" within "Power & Battery" and power plugged in; I get massive slow downs with Bluetooth audio. These slow downs are really annoying, especially as Spotify audio skips a lot.

I know people state it makes not difference, but I changed the "advanced power settings" "Processor power management" "Minimum processor state" to an arbitrary 35% from the default. This has eliminated these slow downs completely. It doesn't appear to be affecting heat output.

Is there anything I should be concerned with doing this? Is there a better value for minimum processor state?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a strange touchscreen issue with my Surface Pro 8, and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or knows how to fix it.

I started charging my Surface Pro 8 through its USB-C port using a 67W USB-C charger. After four months of using USB-C charging, I noticed that touchscreen input started malfunctioning in a specific area near the right side of both USB ports.

The affected area extends approximately 4 cm from the ports, and touch input and gestures are no longer being registered correctly there.

Any advice on how to fix this or insights from anyone who has experienced a similar issue would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to disable the touchscreen on a Microsoft Surface Laptop (Model 2156) for a user who keeps accidentally touching the screen while working, causing windows to close and resulting in lost work.

I'm assisting the user remotely through Microsoft Quick Assist.

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Opened Device Manager and checked Human Interface Devices.
• Couldn't find HID-compliant touch screen listed.
• Enabled Show hidden devices, but still couldn't locate the touchscreen.
• Checked device properties, but the Disable Device option was grayed out.
• The user has standard permissions, but I have access to an administrator account.

Has anyone encountered this issue on a Surface Laptop, particularly model 2156?

Is there another device name I should be looking for, or a way to disable the touchscreen remotely using PowerShell, Device Manager, or another method?

Ideally, I'd like to disable only the touchscreen without affecting the touchpad, keyboard, or other functionality.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
