i honestly don't know who these things are for. I've never seen anyone using one in person. why the fuck would you put windows on a tablet

I love my Surface Snapdragon X. Battery life up the wazoo and I use it largely as a thin client to windows and linux systems so it lasts forever.

I did debloat it heavily though.

And someone will probably say why not install Linux on it, to which I say...for everything I use I've yet to find a Linux distro that works without hours of custom efforts. I work 7 days a week and don't have time to dive down rabbit holes every day to fix shit like my mouse, or my bluetooth ear buds, or RDP, or parsec, or nomachine, or wifi.

install the terminal version of claude code and ask it to configure your computer for you. you might think I'm joking until you do this

I would love to have one as a novelty item for installing Linux on it, I always thought using Linux on touchscreen is super cool. but it's expensive as fuck
