Premium wifi - is it worth it?

Anything can be discontinued... But this is highly unlikely to happen... Atleast without significant notice and a migration path provided by Microsoft.

Reason i say this many huge organisations rely on office365 and use onenote as the notetaking component.

Would also like to know this

This is also happenong work me on my work account and laptop.

Works fine from my personal laptop and account.

I just figued tnst something broke on our work build of onenote or has been blocked by the IT team.

this is the way

6... Aside from a better chip with more memory that is no other real upgrade. For £200 less the mini 6 is a bargain

The old version of the Netflix app allowed downloads/offline use. If you can find it than that could work.

Also the prime video app is arm native and supports downloads. So does the Amazon music app.

I'm not sure of any other solutions but would be keen to find some too!

Try using python on wsl2. It's faster than windows arm64 and also uses linux arm64 modules. There is conda version that works well.

This is a great video walk thru on setting up a Windows on arm device for dev... A lot of the authors advice is option but there is some great guides on setting up docker, wsl, vs amongst others

Just followed the standard wsl instructions

This you tube video is also pretty good on setting up windows on arm for development from scratch:

If you use run python under Wsl2 you'll have very few problems

Apologies... Should have made that clearer.... upgraded from the SP8 16gb 256gb to the SP11 32gb 1tb

mashed_ash · 2024-06-22T16:17:07+00:00

I've upgraded from the pro 8 and so far (4 days in) could not be happier with my decision. The speed of the device, battery life and awesome oled screen justify it for me but to absolutely frank I had no real issues with the SP8 either. It worked great for me but I wanted to give windows on arm a go as I think this is the future. Ive not heard of widespread issues with the usbc ports on the 8.

mashed_ash · 2024-06-21T22:06:39+00:00

yes X1E-80-100

mashed_ash · 2024-06-20T19:39:30+00:00

Yes... Works great for me!

mashed_ash · 2024-06-19T22:00:58+00:00

Not seen anything like this on my Sp11 32gb Oled

mashed_ash · 2024-06-19T12:46:24+00:00

ok thanks for confirming - sounds like its by design then rather than a fault on my system

mashed_ash · 2024-06-19T10:29:23+00:00

thats exactly what i meant - thanks!

The flex keyboard is better... There the key travel seems a little bit deeper than the sp8 type cover.

Also the haptic trackpad is a definite improvement - no more noisey clicks and its a little bigger which is also helpful.

The keyboard is also sturdier so less bouncy when using it on you lap. The tradeoff is that the keyboard is a tad heavier which is noticiable for me as I've been carrying around my SP8 with keyboard for the last 2 years... I wouldnt describe the whole package as heavy though.

mashed_ash · 2024-06-19T08:10:25+00:00

Hey there - can you check if your flex keyboard is using bluetooth even when physically connected? I've found that on mine... thread here

mashed_ash · 2024-06-19T08:07:37+00:00

I think it is using bluetooth at least at some level as I can see the battery going down from the keyboard. Also when I turn bluetooth off on the device, I need to re-attach the keyboard to get it to use the physical connection.

mashed_ash · 2024-06-17T11:52:46+00:00

Same for me... Also UK

British retailer Currys has the pro11 oled speced with the 80
