    It would be forever dead the moment SSD fails. No changable SSD is a big pain unlike SP4

      What the average lifespan before SSD dies?

      • cannedhams on 20/09/2023 - 10:03
        +2

        Not really a matter of time, more so the number of write cycles that it can take before it fails.

        Which is about 1-2 petrabytes on average. You should get 10 years with even heavy use.

        Unless something breaks.

        • congo on 20/09/2023 - 10:14

          10 years is plenty. So not a real concern. Thanks

            @congo: Yeah but this surface was released in 2017… can’t say how old these units actually are but I think it would be bette to expect closer to maybe 3-4 years?

              @Jimothy Wongingtons: You can run hwinfo and it will tell you how many tb has been written to the SSD. Then you can disable page file to boost the lifespan of the SSD as long as you don't use any apps that need it.

            • greatlamp on 20/09/2023 - 22:28

              @Jimothy Wongingtons: It won't fail all at once, capacity will decrease as blocks are written as bad. There would remain a significant portion that has many years left, only a small portion will die in 3-4 years.

              The vast majority of personal software use cases would be reading from the disk, I doubt much data would have been written at all, a few mb of browser history every day?

    • hotphil on 20/09/2023 - 09:37

      For <$200 I reckon it's worth a shot. Me and maybe 4 or 5 generations of my offspring probably be dead before the SSD fails.

      • WwDesi on 20/09/2023 - 09:38
        +3

        original post

        It refers to the initial person who made a post or started a thread, such as on Reddit. Now, "OP" is broadly used to identify whoever made the original post that someone replying to, such as on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter or any other social media platform. "OP" can also be short for "original post."

        • Zeee on 20/09/2023 - 09:45

          I thought its the post by the owner… In short owner's post. Thanks clarification

            @Zeee: It's original poster, so you're correct in what you thought.

        • incipient on 20/09/2023 - 09:57
          +2

          I think the term op has been around for a long time, well before reddit, if anyone can imagine such a time =P

          Typically "op" refers to a person. So I've always thought it was "original poster"?

          • Zeee on 20/09/2023 - 10:02

            @incipient: Now its getting confusing… Is it original post? Or original poster? Or owner post

            • miicah on 20/09/2023 - 10:10
              +2

              @Zeee: OP = original poster

              "Thanks OP!" = "Thank you for posting this, the person who posted this"

  • MBix on 20/09/2023 - 09:26

    Is the description on this wrong?

    This Microsoft Surface model features Windows RT as an operating system, it is powered by an ARM chipset, and it has a storage capacity of 64 GB

    My Surface 3 is running Windows 10. Runs pretty well, but have been looking for a new type cover, at this price might just buy this one

    • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 20/09/2023 - 09:30

      That's eBay's catalogue system trying to paste itself into listings. It's super frustrating as it's always wrong. Please ignore it as it's content not generated by us.

      • MBix on 20/09/2023 - 09:32

      • Dentpub on 20/09/2023 - 09:44

        Sorry Calmago (and MBix for hijacking your message), when you say "please ignore it", does that mean ,even though the content shows different to what you have posted, when we buy it, the product will be the one you've advertised here?

    • friedbeans on 20/09/2023 - 11:31

      I got one from the last deal and installed Fedora on it using the linux-surface kernel which you can find on GitHub. Works well for the most part. Works with most distributions.

      https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

      If you run into any troubles YouTube might be helpful.

          +1

          Didn't run it on Win 10 for long, but I think I actually prefer the way it handles tablets with tiles etc on 10. Win 11 is not particularly tablet friendly, the experience isn't much different to a desktop UI and makes it a bit awkward to use the tablet as a touchscreen interface. But it works fine, I'm happy with it overall.

    Hi OP,
    For those of us that bought the SurfacePro 5 last time without the cover, is they any chance you have some spare genuine keyboard type covers to off load for us?
    Cheers.

      • neonlight on 20/09/2023 - 19:57

        Simple. Seller doesn't have any. Asking is like if there's overstock. People are here to buy the whole thing not just the keyboard

        • TheFunkySalsa on 20/09/2023 - 20:47
          +2

          That's one way to look at it. My view is that if the seller did have overstock of the keyboards alone, it could have turned into another postable deal that could have benefited those of us looking for one.

          • neonlight on 20/09/2023 - 23:03

            @TheFunkySalsa: You are correct otherwise there’s enough quantity for individual post

        • The General on 20/09/2023 - 22:34
          +3

          Fair enough. I was asking in the hope that there may have been some people after the tablet only and not the type cover, thus creating surplus.
          Didn't think it would hurt to ask.

          +1

          How is it "simple" lol?

          If they were a seller that only sold Surface tablets, then sure, but they're more than that - they're a refurbished/used computer trader who sell heaps of different genuine and aftermarket parts for a variety of devices including the Surface.

          It's a fair question OP asked - nothing to do with overstock, you just took it that way for some reason? The type case is a standalone accessory you can buy

          "People are here to buy the whole thing" - obviously not seeing as at least 3 people wanted to know if they sell the Type cover

    I picked up an i7 version of this for around $200 (no keyboard) January, and they run hot! The cooling on these doesn't seem adequate for the job, and I've had to resort to a desktop fan to keep it cool.

    • Ryxxi on 20/09/2023 - 12:06

      i7 is a more powerful cpu so it will run hot..

      I will probably put it on eBay apparently it still has some value and people have some use out of it. But just curious.

  • Analytical Therapist on 20/09/2023 - 10:04

    Thanks OP, Got one to replace my aging Miix 320. The Atom x5-Z8350 was getting a little bit outdated haha. I think i got the last one as it went OOS as soon as i purchased.

    • bargaino on 20/09/2023 - 10:54

      Loved the 320, but my keyboards failed, so tablets now.

      You'll be getting 4x the cpu speed, 5x the pixels, but most importantly perhaps is double the RAM.
