I'd purchase a surface go 4 arm in a heartbeat. I'd exchange performance (surface go have never been about power anyways) for battery life for sure. Battery life is the main thing holding my go 2 back to be my perfect "work on the go" companion

How's the status of the android apps on windows 11 btw?

[VarunaSingh]

I mean the gen 3 is already quite low end in comparison to the competition even on x86

[dswartze]

Have we an idea when the Surface Go 4 will be released? ARM or not.

[ItsMeStefC]

It'll be interesting to compare a Qualcomm 7c Surface Go 4 versus the Lenovo Duet series

[Leornianæfre]

Intel i3 with Xe, Slimmer bezel’s, Thunderbolt 4 and a removable SSD would be on my wish list. They should also bundle the keyboard and pen with the device.

I know it's off topic, but I'm very curious; Daniel, what is that black, blue, and white thing (light? speaker?) in front of you?
I tried to read the logo and look online, but I was unsuccessful.
Please let me know.
It might be time to do an update "here's my setup show, " too.
Thank you.

The volume is low for this episode. Had to turn my speakers all the way to 100% just to hear something. (Other videos on YouTube are quite loud so not my desktop)

Hi. Any plans for a Surface Laptop with ARM? Microoft only putting it in their tablets sends message it's experimental.

[Katajin]

I want a Surface Go version similar to the ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid. This way, the touchscreen of the device will be utilized more and become more useful. If adding calling capability with a SIM card, it would surpass the Surface Duo!

[johnnyirish]

Question for next time: What do you think of the Lenovo Thinkreality A3? I would love to see you guys review it.

[crosswhite]

I hope so. I remember watching Sean Ong's review of the Surface 2 running RT about 8-9 years ago and thinking I want one of those. Unfortunately Microsoft killed it before I got the chance to get one.

Can I ask why the windows central Android app was removed, I used it everyday to read your articles.

[allen]

I'm hoping that it will! Imagine the battery life! But I can see intel and AMD improving their chips in terms of efficiency. Competition is great! 💪

[Sedp]

what happened to the windows central and Android central Android apps? neither one of them have worked in months

[upevr]

I hope ARM will be just as good as or better than M1 & M2 processors on Mac's. I'm wanting more power with energy efficiency!

[PreDaToReLeaSeD]

talking about a trifold when they dont even have a single folding device lol

[giratinalight]

Pls Microsoft I'm begging let the surface go 4 have less line jitter or like completely remove the jitter like surface Pro 8 and 9 like it would be such a really good affordable tool for artist and graphic designers too like cmon Microsoft!

[aaron]

I wish so it would be more powerful, then just make sure it can run Sketchup autocad

[HeLithium]

It'd better be, and I hope by that time win 11 will have full Android app support.
