Noticed that there's a forum for the Pro 6, but no Pro 8 or Pro 9. The Pro 8 has been around long enough but I guess the owners don't do much so there's no need for a "Surface Pro 8" or "Surface Pro 9" forum?

The jump from the 6 to the 8 is big enough. However, like Plantje said, I don't feel the jump between 8 & 9 warrants the extra cost. I don't feel like it is "future proof" enough for me so being able to spend that $300 on a nice signature keyboard and pen and maybe a nice sleeve to put the...

I really want a Surface Pro 8 now tho. Lol. Especially now that Thunderbolt 4 is available. I would also like to see the GPU improvements as well. My mother in law has one and I haven't heard a complaint yet aside from ONE time that it would not work with her work's Citrix Workspace, but once I...

Due to a design change, you cannot connect the new keyboards to the older Surfaces. The pen probably still works, but I too am looking to buy an older Signature Type Cover for my Surface Pro 6 since it's getting old. It still works really well though. Just showing it's age by now.

Tomorrow would have been 4 years since I bought my Surface Pro 6 and earlier this week the power cord finally gave up. I have to admit I was NOT gentle OR considerate with it. Yanked the cord MULTIPLE TIMES when it was tangled with other cords in my backpack so it makes sense. From now on I will...

Ouch, man I can't believe my Surface Pro 6 has made it this long. Coming in here and finding out what you and Plantje have been going through is just insane.

Should I even have this feature enabled in my Surface Pro 6? It keeps saying that certain drivers are preventing the protection from being enabled. Should I really be concerned about this not working? The Microsoft website states that they do not suggest deleting a driver to bring memory...

Update: Just learned today that there is a bluetooth attachment that attaches itself on top of the connector on the keyboard that turns the Surface Keyboard into a bluetooth keyboard. Then you can put the surface anywhere else and save all the space.

I never liked when Microsoft started advertising the Surface Pro as a "laptop" JUST BECAUSE the Operating System is not a watered down, restricted, mobile phone operating system. Tablet is the form factor. The OS is the OS. These days Apple has added a Keyboard with a trackpad mouse but they...

My Surface Pro 6 is getting pretty old. I may go with a Surface Pro 8 and give this to my wife since she mostly uses her phone for all her stuff, but I still feel its important to have some kind of PC alongside a smartphone in 2022. So why not a Tablet with a detachable keyboard that can be...

Ah, well in that case, get rid of the Monitor stand and either wall mount, or buy an arm that attaches to the edge of the desk you are at, and enjoy all the extra space you end up gaining as a result.

I would personally take advantage of having two monitors instead of having the keyboard closer to the external monitor.

For this reason AND because I am tired of craning my neck down to see a screen or find a place to put the Surface Pro 6 on the plane so I can watch it comfortably, I just connect my Meta Quest 2 wirelessly to my Surface Pro 6, then load up the BigScreen Remote Desktop app on the Surface Pro 6...

Oh, ok

https://immersed.com/ There's the website link. Here's their YouTube channel so you can check it out and see how it works. https://www.youtube.com/c/ImmersedVR/videos

Hmm, just to be clear, the "Immersed" app is an application for the Quest 2 VR headset that you install on the headset and on the PC. It lets you wirelessly connect to your PC and creates a virtual environment to work in complete with virtual floating monitors of your choice in size, position...

Really, they don't sell Quest 2 headsets there yet? Interesting. Yeah, I LOVE using it for work, but I haven't tried on work laptops yet (because those laptops really are terrible compared to my Surface Pro 6...you know, typical company, saving more money than they should...) but I imagine it...

Update: Figured out why the 3rd screen wasn't coming up. Don't have to use the iPhone as a 3rd screen anymore. This is great. Very powerful little device the Surface Pro 6 is. Anyway, you'll all be happy that I won't be posting comments in this thread anymore. lol

Got to use it again for 3 days while I was working from an AirBnB and was able to put my iPhone into the Virtual Environment as well. Worked really nicely as I could see my calls/notifications or just setup the iPhone as a 3rd screen that played YouTube videos in the background while the Earth...

15 days later. Any updates? Same issue? Did you have to go back to the "Best Performance" power profile at all due to slower performance or did the regular power profile work good enough and not cause any excessive heat on your Surface Pro 8?
