  • Just got a firmware update for my Surface Go 1, too.
  • Hows the Pro X holding up, be good to have a review as its been out a few months now.
  • Microsoft is about to release the Studio Pro with their custom ARM chip. It will only be 50% more expensive than the Intel version!
  • An arm desktop? Like putting a swimming pool motor in an Earth Moving Vehicle. I think you're wrong, you have to be.
  • I am definitely joking. Poking fun at Microsoft calling an ARM machine "Pro".
  • Nothing showing up yet for my Pro X.
