This fixes the adaptive contrast the screen performs according to your surrounding light. It caused auto brightness to be all weird and very sensitive for me. Now it all works fine and auto brightness will strictly adjust brightness and not contrast.

I have an M1 MacBook Air and need to make a decision of which one to keep. Both have their pros and cons. No regrets on this one for the price though.
Depends on what you're doing an of course the ecosystem.

M1 Mac Air is very capable and also has no fans.
I've seen people push the M1 Air for both photoshop and video editing and it can keep up as long as you can reel in your expectations.

The Surface Laptop relies on iGPU and Intel is only now able to put up numbers against the M1 with the 12th Gen processors.

Whether you are invested or not into Apple, the M1 is still the better/quieter machine.
The Surface Laptop 3 is cheaper of course but you can squeeze a lot more life out of the M1 over time.
If the Surface Laptop 3 allowed you to upgrade the ram and/or had a dGPU too, then I would keep the Surface.

And there are some that need specific apps that are only available on Windows so can't even consider the Macs.

Got mine yesterday. Seems like its basically new, 0 power cycles. Pretty happy with it so far.
I miss the finger print scanner from my XPS for the lazy unlocks. But its not that big of a deal.

I like how I can pull the weirdest face and still be able to log in. Get WTF looks from my family.

Mine is stuck in Memphis for 3 days now. Probably Fedex lost it.

Interesting. Mine shipped UPS from Kentucky late at night and I actually received it the next day.

Finally the surface reached Mississauga, hopefully gets delivered today.Smiling Face With Open Mouth Now I have to search for surface dock 2.



Edit: I was hoping to receive it today, FedEx still showing delayed. :rolleyes: If I don't get it by Monday, I will call Microsoft to cancel the order. I probably don't need it.

My Surface restarts randomly, even after resetting and installing windows 11 it restarted on it's own a couple times. Any one else have the same issue?

Installed Windows 11 using Windows 11 Installation assistant, no issues at all. One thing I do notice is animations are not as smooth as 10. For example when minimizing windows, the animations on Windows 10 were really smooth, its kinda glitchy on 11.

Hi there, I think I got a similar problem, just a cracking sound when turning up the speaker, do you mind sharing which number you called? Thanks

1 (877) 696-7786

They did an advanced exchange for me - shipped me a device and placed a hold on my credit card and then released the hold once they received the defective device.

This was going through technical support - you should probably only do this if you plan on keeping the device as you’ll now have a device with a different serial number. It’s shipped to you in a different box with no accessories - just the laptop.
Congratulations!

It's a refurb too - they warned me but I said it was fine since my original device was a refurb.

My refurb was just like the one from Microsoft Store: brand new battery with 0 cycles and looked brand new

This deal is back online; however, once added into Cart - checking out shows empty cart. :-(
