My very big tablet (Cozyla digital calendar)
Thanks to a ridiculous amount of "influencer" adds and videos pushed into my feed, we now have a set up my husband calls our hotel check in kiosk. I've got two kids in B&M school, 1 kid homeschooled, all 3 competitive gymnasts with 3 different practice schedules, private teaching, college teaching, an afterschool program, a youth orchestra, and all the household management stuff including meal planning, grocery shopping, and indoor and outdoor chores.
I chose this over a Skylight or Hearth because it's just a giant android tablet, so I can use homeschool planet, sweepy, emeals, and google calendar. I tried using their calendar and chore app, but the calendar was having sync issues and the chore app is not as robust as sweepy. I haven't tried to dig into the meal planning app yet, since we've been using emeals for several years already.
But, being able to open homeschool…

TCL NXTPAPER experiences?
These devices have recently popped up on my radar. I've been watching a lot of reviews and I'm intrigued, but I don't know what the pen technology is on the tablets and it's hard to understand what's really going on with the displays just from video reviews. Has anyone seen any of these in person?

I have no experience with USI 2, but reviews I've seen (mainly Brad Colbow), seem unimpressed with the tech. Maybe for writing it's ok, but not good for art.

Samsung Tab S10 Lite
Galaxy Tab S10 Lite | Samsung US
Coming September 4th. 10.9" screen with spen in the box. I just pulled out my old S6 lite to set up a better planner system. As much as I love the eInk screens, none of the boox tablets I have are hitting the sweet spot between phone and big tablet that I need. I see a coral red one of these in my future. Hopefully with 5G.

Maybe the idea behind Microsoft Duo isn't completely dead?

Doubt it....I could see them filing the patent just to keep others from doing it, more then actually releasing a new Windows phone or something. Microsoft has also very heavily divested from anything that nots Full Windows 11, and even if the hardware was capable, (which it is now) I doubt they would ever release a phone with full Windows. I feel it would be more likely to see the Neo resurrected (which has no chance in hell) over them releasing another phone.

Chalk this up to "Woulda...shoulda...coulda..." It seems that most of M$ best ideas die on the vine, or were strangled in hte cradle by Nadella (remember Surface Mini?)...

Framework 12 & Linux
Looks good. He uses an HP MPP pen & said it's better for note taking than art work. This was on Linux & looks good enough for my usage.

I have yet to find an app on Linux that processes ink as well as windows. Ink is significantly smoother on windows on my thinkpad yoga than on ubuntu on the same hardware. I've tried about half a dozen Linux apps and all collapse round shapes or otherwise have terrible sampling rates compared to the smooth, natural ink on windows. I'll have to watch this one later to see if this looks any better. On my yoga, handwriting is tolerable on ubuntu if you didn't know any better, but it's natural on windows.

Why no Arm Surface Go?
I recently needed a sub- 700g detachable PC because hurling around the SP8 with accessories and more started hurting my back (health issues + age). Only option I could find was the underpowered SGo.
That got me thinking, why in the world is there no 10" Copilot plus PC? I read somewhere that SGo sold very well especially among businesses which would explain why there were four iterations of it. Won't a 10" WoA Copilot plus be a good competition against the iPad? I still wonder how this company has managed to stay relevant with all it's missteps.

I'm more in the "What the h*** happened to 5g?" across the Surface line. SP11 has been out of stock for months; Sp12 never got it; and only the Intel version of the Surface Laptop is getting it.

Intel Circling the Drain
First, this week announcing worldwide layoffs of over 24,000 people, and now it can't keep up in the processor node race:
I'm not sure it will survive even as a foundry business. M$ better really double down on Prism and get ready for the business world transition to WOA.

It's a very tough industry.
This is very reminiscent of AMD. And once you are gone from the cutting edge, there isn't really a way of getting back.
This is not good, as it leaves TSMC on their own at the top, and Samsung coming a far second.
There's also the risk of China catching up and even surpassing the West. Though they aren't there yet, and how much is pilfered rather than from innovation...

I find the device interesting but redundant for the things I do with my fold. And, oh that price. Ouch!
