It’s actually fine for me to work on real life, money making web apps (ASP.NET Core) without any issues (since I don’t run Virtual Machines). But if you want to do it, it's just 2 more minutes of work. Works like a charm and temperatures on the SSD never going too much high so you can easily live without the thermal paste. I didn't use the old SSD cover nor the thermal pad, as indicated in that guide it's really optional, there's no really need of it. i followed this guide from Windows Central and it something that you can do in 5 minutes. However, great performance with this one from Dell (that is actually just the Kioxia unit, it's only resold by Dell and they didn't even apply their logo on it)Īlso, how was the upgrading experience?, did you use the old SSD cover, or did you use thermal pad? But it seems a little faster, yes, and i also notice a slighter less use of the fans, but again it could be just a wrong impression. but i installed it just some days after i bought the SP8, so i don't actually had the time to notice significant differences. The experience is butter smooth with only a few oddities as Windows programs are not all standardized in how they work in tablet mode, so you'll do the occasional odd command by accident.Īs a primary computer, I'd be hesitant (cost/power always favors the desktop), but as a secondary, mobile unit, it has been fantastic so far!
This was a concern of mine.ġ6gb is sufficient, but if you really want to do a lot of video/photo stuff with it, you may want the higher memory model (SSD is up-gradable with a 2230 card, but memory is fixed). Using it like a tablet, with a lot of on/off use without shutting down, I seem to be doing just fine. However, if I do, the charger is not large and I found a 65w PD battery that can charge it through the USB-C. So far, I haven't run out of batteries yet.
The results are impressive for a tablet sized device.īattery is a weird and subjective thing with a lot of dependencies. I used the TimeSpy, which is a desktop benchmark, so you could see it as if it were a desktop, and I also used the version for mobile devices to see how it would stack up against a Tab 8 or something. I did post some TimeSpy results if you want to know how it would play games. If you accept this as a portable unit, you'll have some kind of cloud or side drive anyway, and save the internal for programs and working data. The 1tb can be upgraded for often less than the out of the box price. That said, I love my i7/16/256 (soon to be 1TB). It's a micro-laptop and will suffer from all the design issues related to making things small and portable. This is NOT a desktop or desktop replacement.
