Damn, why are TechCrunch hijacking the browsers back button behaviour? I had to close down my browser instance complete and then open a new one to come back to this thread. Awful.

I blame browsers for implementing such an obnoxious anti-feature.

#13Look at that faux-bokeh effect on the product photos. They're so laughably bad that I'm baffled they included them with the article.

It's not directly an issue with TechCrunch but the lack of an api that does not push a history state OR pollute your history.
Ie you can't change the visible URL without at least one of these happening (and it's infuriating)!

#15You reckon these kind of tablet/laptops would be able to handle remote desktop smoothly?
Since the quarantine started I've been using my laptop to remote desktop to my PC in the office (I need a pretty hefty machine so a laptop doesn't cut it). I've been surprised how well it works and opens a world of possibilities for me. I'd imagine I'm not the only one realizing this.

How's that? I'm using Firefox and seeing the same annoying back button behaviour.

#17My Surface Pro 4 just died this weekend to the “screen scramble” issue. As I bought it more than 3 years ago, Microsoft are asking me to pay >$700 for a replacement. OK, I understand it’s out of warranty, and I’d accept its fate if this were genuine wear and tear, but this is an admitted manufacturing defect so it feels very raw.
I was a happy user while the thing worked, but I can’t bring myself to recommend any Surface model now, and I’ll be putting that $700 towards a replacement from a different vendor.

Yes, I was wondering why the left side of the Surface looks completely morphed. Like here https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/00100trPOR...

#20Too bad they're sticking with the kickstand design. Makes the device so unusable on the lap (as mentioned in the review). I have the original Go and I can't actually complain about the performance, but it's very hard to use without a flat surface. It's also unusable in your hand, e.g. to show something to someone while standing up.
I have the exact opposite complaint :-) the kickstand is not a problem but performance is so abysmal I can basically keep only one application open at the time. I often wondered what I was doing wrong since many people are reasonably happy with its performance but never found an answer, even after disabling everything that can be disabled.
Did you check the heat? Maybe you got a lemon and it was constantly being CPU throttled.
