Finally good audio in a Windows laptop, very close to the MacBook Air 15" M3. Excellent camera and superb OLED screen. It's fun to use this computer. Still, it's early days and some screens don't always complete. Wireless issues instead? Don't know. Full-day battery life and then some. I find myself switching between this and the MacBook Air. That's a good thing. Having a standard (no dongle) HDMI port on the S14 helps me make presentations easier. I would recommend this for people who are looking for a daily driver with a beautiful screen to look at.

Comfortable to wear. Fun to discover the customizing options. Love the changing watch using photos. Still learning about the many features. Excellent integration with the rest of my Apple products. Decided to keep it simple by not getting the cellular version. Oh, and it also tells me what time it is.

Upgraded from previous version AirPods (which I still have and keeping). I'm really impressed with the quiet background, thanks to the noise reduction built in. Lightning-fast recognition by my Mac mini. I'm very pleased.

This is a great little laptop, easy on the wallet as well as easy in the backpack. Good touch-screen response and vivid screen. The Surface Laptop Go 2 replaced my Surface Pro 4 as my daily driver mostly because the screen is protected better. I do, however, miss the backlit keyboard and the Pro's "hello" login ability. A backlit keyboard would have added the fifth star. The video display and response isn't quite suitable for games. I recommend this laptop (despite the lack of a backlit keyboard).
Unlock more possibilities than ever with the Pro designed for a Pro like you. The first consumer laptop-to-tablet PC designed on the Intel Evo platform~ and designed to light up the best of Windows 11, Surface Pro 8 combines the power of a laptop with the flexibility of a tablet, and every angle in between, with the iconic Kickstand and detachable Keyboard.* Do great things with a larger 13~ touchscreen, faster connections with Thunderbolt 4 ports, and extra speed when you need it.

With every new version, Microsoft tweaks the Surface Pro and adds more features. SP8 is much better than the SP6 (stuck at Windows 10) I have and slightly better than the SP5 (already running Windows 11). I recommend SP8.

I am looking for 120 min recordable blank discs but they only seem available in the BC-R format. Can I record music on it like regular CDs or are there restrictions in any way?
You might already have gotten your answer. Here's my thought. If you convert your music files to a standard format, such as MP3 (192kbps), you can store around 4-6 hours of music as compressed files on one "80-minute" CD (depending on the compression you choose).
Preferred by DVD drive manufacturers, Verbatim DVD media continues to set the standard for high-speed disc performance, reliability, and compatibility. DVD+R Double Layer nearly doubles the storage capacity with two AZO recording layers on a single-sided disc.

Store up to 8.5GBs of video in approximately 16 minutes or less while maintaining compatibility with most DVD video players or DVD-ROM drives. All backed by Verbatim's limited lifetime warranty.
