MacBook Neo : même prix que la Surface RT, destin radicalement opposé

Qualité de fabrication irréprochable, puce A18 Pro véloce et autonomie record : à 599 $, le MacBook Neo ne laisse personne indifférent. Pas même Steven Sinofsky. L’ancien patron de la division Windows chez Microsoft voit dans cette machine un « chang...

Récemment, j’ai ressorti ma Surface RT (première tablette sortie par Microsoft en 2012). Après plusieurs années dans un tiroir avec un OS abandonné, j’ai réussi à y installer @postmarketOS avec Gnome! On va pas se mentir, il faut être patient. Mais d’un internet explorer incapable d’afficher de l’HTML 5, je passe à un Firefox à jour. J’espère pouvoir lui trouver une utilisation pas trop gourmande :-) #Microsoft #Surface #SurfaceRT #linux #gnome #postmarketos

Your Surface RT Can Become Useful Again, With Raspberry Pi OS

Recently got a Surface RT for around 50€ as my Christmas gift, it came with the type cover that's honestly quite good. Upgraded it from Windows RT 8.1 to Windows 10 ARM32 (a beta build mind you), and you can still do some stuff here, surprisingly.

Granted, it can be pretty slow at times, due to it being an 11 year old 2-in-1 hybrid at this point. Couple that with the limited app support for this architecture and OS combination, and you have a machine that doesn't really work for most people.

Still, you can do office work (it comes with a licensed copy of Office 2013), browse the web *relatively* alright with Legacy Edge and IE 11, use Discord with Unicord (it is quite slow though) and watch YouTube videos (requires an alternative website for that). Heck, I even did a small report for college with my teammate and it got the job done.

For the novelty and quirkiness, I'm quite happy with this purchase!
