We've had the 8 GB Surface Go in the family for a couple of weeks now and I really think the next version could dominate. It's small and light enough that you can actually use it as a tablet (the Surface Pro is too big and heavy to use as a tablet). It'll probably have that new chip Qualcomm announced last week, which will probably double the battery life while also improving performance. I'm sure it will have a larger screen and thinner bezels (just like they did going from Pro 3 to Pro 4). That's pretty much it, the Surface Go is close to perfection for what it is, with a few improvements it could completely dominate, they've got the recipe right, just a few tweaks are needed. I could see the Surface Go 2 selling better than the Surface Pro, it's an amazing device, I think more compelling than the Pro (and not just because of the price)

I have a Surface Laptop and I love it. Most of what I do is in the browser and since I got this Surface Laptop, I don't even use a mouse anymore because the touchpad scrolling is just amazing. In Edge, it's so fast and responsive but still super smooth, it's just like a Macbook trackpad. I'm very concerned about Edge switching to Chromium because even though Chrome added support for precision touchpads this year, it's still not in the same league as Edge. When the update comes out in 2019, if touchpad scrolling is just like Chrome, I'm going to have to move to a MacBook because I just can't accept that much of a downgrade. Please don't think it's just me, ask any Macbook user to try Chrome for Windows trackpad scrolling and they will laugh at you. I hope Microsoft can avoid this somehow because I love the Surface Laptop, I think it's probably the best laptop in the market

With the news that Microsoft is killing EdgeHTML and going with Google's Blink, the danger of the web becoming a webkit/blink monoculture is very real and very close. Firefox is the only browser that does not use webkit or blink, it uses Firefox's in-house Gecko engine and it's a solid engine. This is a critical time in the history of the web and we must come together and fight for openness and diversity on the web. Firefox is a hair slower than Chrome but it's worth putting up with this, we must

Brad on today's first ring daily you mentioned there's a bug in Edge where images aren't centered in eBooks, did you file this or tell someone on the Edge team about this? (btw I didn't mean in the Feedback Hub, that's probably a waste of time. I meant the Edge issue reporter website, which is really good and Edge engineers actually look at the issues and fix them)

The new iPad Pro's are 5.9 mm thin but the actual 'chassis' is even thinner than that, it's pretty much a sheet of aluminum foil and it bends with minimal effort. How do people compare this cheap crap to a Surface Pro? Apple doesn't even care at this point, they've been through this before with the iPhone 6 bendgate and they've done it again. Apple doesn't learn from their mistakes, they don't deserve their reputation for quality.

Rant over, thank you for reading.

There is an issue with Intel-powered Surface devices and I want to actually get Microsoft to hear me out about this, I don't want to just complain or talk into the wind. What is the best way to do this? Do you have to be a high profile person to get them to actually do something?
