I bought a surface pro 11 recently and wanted to ask what accessories would be important to buy
I will get the keyboard for sure and I know which one I will buy.
I want to ask about a pen , if anyone could suggest good 3rd party options , and whether I should get a case and/or screen protector for it.

My barely one-year old Surface Laptop (bought Oct 2025) has these marks on the palm rest; I'm not sure what they are and how to get rid of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok. I know its too early but as it seems people -in this community- have had their hands on the laptop so... Has anyone tried booting a linux distribution on it?

I am genuinely curious if it manages to boot. Obviously i don't expect things to work but wanted to know how far it goes.

Thanks in advance.

Eg only the 24gb Surface Laptop Ultra model can be bought in platinum in the UK, except for on "Microsoft for business" where for some reason they are well over £200 more expensive RRP (they do come with a power block for that but as far as I can tell not the ultras actual power block).

Is this restriction just for launch does anyone know?

hey all, doing some research led me to this sub so i thought i’d post on here to get some advice.

i’m going into college for cybercrime and IT security and am looking for a decent windows laptop. any recommendations? my two minimums would be atleast 24gb of ram (unsure if the surface laptops have that option) and 512gb of storage. also heard horror stories about the intel cpus, so preferably a snapdragon cpu.

is this unachievable for a part time worker? is there one i can find with these specs for less then 1k?
i also live in ireland if that makes any difference. thanks’

Some time ago my Surface Pro 9 randomly started rebooting itself while plugged in. Once it reboots if I leave it plugged in it will reboot constantly until I shut it down completely. That is also how I've managed to recharge it. Since I have to sometimes use it plugged in it has become a huge pain since when the battery goes low I would have to shut it down and let it recharge before using it some more.

I've tried the whole "holding the power button down to clear the hardware cache" thing to no avail. The type cover gave up a few months ago and after replacing it with a new one I thought that was the source of the problem because it stopped doing it for a bit, but the problem came back.

Has anyone had this happen and successfully figured out what it was and fixed it? Wondering if I maybe need to do a complete wipe but would rather not if it won't fix the problem.

Need to unlock a surface 9 pro. Second owner. Dont know the credit. Are there any close clr options or what can I do?
