Its a Surface Pro 4. Customizability pretty much depends on Microsoft attachments.
I have a surface pro 4 too. I've not noticed any strange things with it. When running it in desktop mode it seems to be just another portable computer to me.
Now I won't give windows 10 any good marks as a tablet OS. It pretty much fails miserably there. It is usable but any android launcher will beat it with out working up a sweat.
Actually, I've worked in multiple business environments that used Ubuntu.
Well I did say "if they know what they are doing." Over the years I've seen and deployed thousands of Linux installs. I've been in datacenters with hundreds of Linux systems. Almost everyone of them is some version of Redhat or Centos.
You will always have the naive goober try some variation of Ubuntu. As long as they don't cause trouble and don't expect support they usually get to keep it. But most of the time their vanity Linux goes off the rails or they fail the security screening because their OS isn't up to corporate standards.
Wow, master of wit are you? Nobody in a business environment uses Ubuntu for anything. Well not if they know what they are doing. They use Redhat Enterprise because they can get some kind of support for it.
Don't like Ubuntu? You have lots of other distros to choose from.
An there is part of the problem. How many distributions of Linux are there now? An which version do you want to run? In a business environment this is a nightmare. Then you have the software that you need that won't run on your distribution, or isn't supported.
You simply don't see this in a windows or mac desktop environment.
Windows 10 doesn't break down every second day. It just breaks down every six months or so (on a Surface Pro 4), like Ubuntu.
Sorry but no it doesn't. I've been running the same load of windows since 2009 when windows 7 first came out. I have upgrade through service packs, skipped windows 8, and did a in place upgrade to 10. I've swapped out hardware several times, including complete rebuilds, and my system has been rock steady for years at a time.
The only time it got unstable was when I had a bad harddrive in my system. I replaced it and it went right back to being rock stable.
Of course if you have wonky hardware or you are loading weird shit on to your system, then you will probably have issues.
I'm a Linux user since 1998. I still use the Linux platform
Welcome to my boat. Have a seat, there is cold beer in the cooler.
I've been apart of the Linux community since day one. I started with dual tar ball install on an Amiga 3000. I still use a headless Linux box for my household file server.
But my general workstation is windows 10. So is my workstation at work. An the reason is it simply works 99% of the time. I don't have to fuss with strange Xwindows settings or wonder why my sound doesn't work.
If you use windows 10 try the edge browser that comes with it. It doesn't support all that FF and chrome supports but It has adblock plus for an extension. I find that it works on 90% of the sites that I go to, and all that I use regularly.
I looked up your book and clicked on the Author name and the top 3 books are by "Jason Levine." Oh well. I've added all 3 to my to be read pile. All 3 of them look interesting.
Not sure I'm ready for that much commitment. I think I'll just get drunk that day and call it good.
On another note, I just picked up the 3 books of yours I could find on Amazon. Look forward to reading them. From the plot summery they look interesting.
From what I know about the windows kernel it couldn't scale upwards well enough to run in this league. And If I remember correctly one of the key goals of Linux was to make sure it could scale well on big iron systems.
We still don't know if you can successfully beowolf cluster a bunch of the old Microsoft Barnies though.
I moved up from a 2400 to a 14.400, skipping 9600. Downloads where not only faster but I could expand my sphere of bbs circles. I could finally download from porn sites that might as well been lightyears away.
I was still online with Genie the night they turned off the lights. The system just became unresponsive a hour or so later. I expected the modem to drop but it didn't. I was even able to dial in the next day and get a connection but no login in. Sad way to go.
I kept my genie feed even after I hooked my amiga 500 into usenet. I was a news junky at the time, still am, and genie had that AP wirefeed.
I didn't do compuserve. I went with Genie instead when the did that $5 after hours deal. I remember the Aladdin software for the old Amiga. It would let you download all the messages from your roundtable, read and answer them off line.
While I haven't thought of compuserve in years, didn't even know they where still around. I guess that would be the last connection to the old BBS days from long ago for me.
Split seasons is the reason I don't watch many network tv shows any more. I just wait till they come to hulu, netflix, or comcast demand and watch them all at the same time or when I want too. An I've formed the option if they don't come to any of those services then they are not worth my time.
Yes, I have comcast cable because it is the only thing that is available. Of all the flaws of comcast their on demand system doesn't seem to be one of the. Holy shit, I just defended comcast.
o bad the "magick spores traveling faster than warp" concept is so fucking retarded in contrast to the rest of the Star Trek universe.
Stars and stones, thank the gods there is someone else who thinks this way. Of all the Star Trek concepts that has the be the most stupid one they have come up with. Sad part, is it didn't have to be that fucking stupid. There are plenty of concepts that would let them do the same thing with out stupid "spore magic." Some of them are even Star Trek canon.
Oh some moderator got his panties in a wad. I wonder why? Because Trump was mentioned with out being condemned? Well good thing I have karma out the ass.
Yeah there are. Some of them are lots better. Did you know pound per pound your scooter probably pollutes more than my car does? You only get better gas mileage because of the weight, not because its necessary a more efficient vehicle. What your scooter lacks is the emission controls that modern cars have. So based on the efficiency for per gallon of gas burned my car has less emissions than you scooter does.
More mile per gallon doesn't necessarily mean less pollution.

Just use Ubuntu, you dumb twat.

Windows just simply works.
From the description, it could be shaped like a giant Bugles snack
This, this could be a problem.
The project itself has nothing to do with flat earth.
Actually it sounds just like something one of those nuts would come up with.
He will bounce off the transparent dome that keeps all the air in first long before he reaches the moon.
Oh look. Three more words that will never be in my obituary, "home made rocket."

Actually, our gift giving holiday is Purim (around March) where we dress in costumes, give gifts, and are religiously commanded to get drunk.
Sounds like being Jewish is more fun. So can just anyone sign up?

I made it to episode 5. "maybe it will get better." ....
Oh some moderator got his panties in a wad. I wonder why? Because Trump was mentioned with out being condemned? Well good thing I have karma out the ass.
Yeah. I see your point. I actually see the flaws in my own post. What looks good on paper doesn't actually translate to the real world.
But are they better than my 500cc Yamaha T-Max?
Yeah there are. Some of them are lots better. Did you know pound per pound your scooter probably pollutes more than my car does?

Wait. I see what you did there. Very nicely done.
