I bought myself a brand new Surface Pro 6 today and this is the first thing I've typed on it. :))

No more mobile-only AN for me!!

Initial impressions?

Initial impressions?
Sexiest laptop I ever did see. I got all black hahaha, classic me.
Feels sturdy, could handle a lot of wear, I think. I got mid-tier so she's got an i5 processor, 256g and 8GB guts, which are pretty well-received and (very) affordable considering I got it all 20% off. I also bought the Microsoft pen and a keyboard. They work perfectly and smell new; I can't wait to try out the pen on my drawing programs!!!

I'm really enjoying the in-built stand as well - it holds up and needs to be pushed to move, so it sits on my lap really well. I think I made a good choice. :))

Would not recommend having your laptop sitting on the edge of your bed with the stand out, then sitting up in bed and having it slide off the bed and hit the ground on the back/open stand (the side that would be sitting on you if you were using it), resulting in a shock to the stands hinges.

My condolences, I didn't enjoy waking up that early for placement either. Hope you get some sleep soon so that you are somewhat well rested! ^-^

The perk of that is that I finished work at 3:00 rather than 7:00. ;D And I got to go to the miniature railway with my little friends.

Not only does pf keep on answering questions less than a minute before I try to post, but they notice that they've bet me each time :/

Pretty sure being a mod makes them ineligible for MotM ;) Were you thinking of MVP?

They certainly do keep showing how well-earned their recognition is

✓ Ordered burger with the lot
✓ Got asked if I wanted pineapple included
✓ "Yep, everything thanks - the lot"
✓ "Pineapple is an extra $0.50"

Not really the lot, is it?
