Let's Talk Tech
Surface Laptop 7 FIRST REACTIONS!
I’ve spent LESS than a day with the new Microsoft Laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite SOC, and I already have a LOT of thoughts! Let’s look at the setup and some early performance tests. It’s the MOST expensive laptop Microsoft sells!
Is this the Windows on ARM revolution YOU’VE been waiting for?

Windows Recall wont just be a privacy issue for Windows users! Even if you’re on Linux or a Mac, every interaction you have with a Windows user will be saved by that person’s Recall. Recall will become a desirable target for malware, as attackers will get access to everything on that system, and EVERYTHING that user has ever seen.
I’m strongly suggesting folks consider contacting elected officials and regulators. We need to encourage companies to do a better job of protecting our data.
Though she be but little, she is FIERCE!
Geekom updated their newest mini PC frame with an AMD 8945HS! This thing is a BEAST. CPU and GPU performance are very similar to the last gen 7940HS laptop chip, but now with a bit more NPU “AI” performance.
Funnily enough, it seems Microsoft is throwing AMD and Intel under the bus. NONE of the current “AI” PCs sold are powerful enough to earn the new “CoPilot+” branding. Still, with a more powerful NPU, we can see some great improvements to content creation and video editing plugins.
Who knows, maybe you don’t want that new Microsoft Recall feature on your system anyway? Continue reading “Geekom A8 Mini PC Review: A Ryzen 9 8945HS in a TINY Shell!”
Windows 11 24H2 is pushing out to preview channels.
It took a little while, but I FINALLY got it running on my Robo & Kala! The big promise from Microsoft is improved X86 emulation support for X Elite chips, but does this mean we’ll see performance gains on older ARM PCs?
Let’s find out! Continue reading “Windows 11 24H2 Update Made My ARM Tablet Faster!”
The folks at Getac are sponsoring this look at a one of the toughest laptops I’ve ever had the pleasure of test driving. The V110 G7 is a chunky appliance of a convertible, but this build quality is fantastic for folks who need a more durable computer.
I took it out on a road trip, and I have a LOT of thoughts! Continue reading “Getac V110 G7 RUGGED Convertible Laptop! MILITARY GRADE TOUGH!”
X Elite Laptop REACTIONS!
The new Snapdragon chip is FINALLY coming to new computers! I’m looking up the new systems, and reacting to configurations and prices! Here’s what you need to know if you’re shopping a Windows on ARM notebook PC!
Acemagic AD08 Review is FINALLY done!
This was a seriously delayed video for me. Dealing with malware, and taking more time to carefully clean out the computer, I’ve talked about this experience a lot already. Still, there’s a box with a processor in it, and there’s still a question I need to answer.
Is a Core i9 overkill in a system like this? Continue reading “Acemagic AD08 Mini PC Review: Is a Core i9 Wasted Here?”
I still get a LOT of comments on YouTube, from people who don’t really want to learn about current ARM PC offerings, but like to speculate and complain about what ARM PCs can’t do. Before we start getting X Elite hardware, here’s what older ARM PCs can do with SIGNIFICANTLY less powerful chips!
It’s a LOT more than you think… Continue reading “Windows On ARM Already Does That! Office Apps, Photo Editing, Gaming, and MORE!”
