Insane. Basically give us £900 and we will give you everything…..! There is a watch you can add on for £40. Surprised that isn’t thrown in too!
How are you finding it? The Verge review was very positive.
Excellent - I have the very similar Oppo Find X9 Pro - I really cannot see why I would go back to Samsung and the like unless they have a serious spec boost in 2026 with the s26 range.

I have had the 7 Pro for a year and it’s been the phone I keep going back to despite trying others, so the 8 doesn’t feel like too much of a change, so quite happy with it so far.
Will check out the Xiaomi 17 Ultra when that’s released in a few months though.
I should stop trying new phones. I seem to be at my account limit for Youtube downloads again, and not allowed to reset it tiill March.

Anybody have a recommendation for good quality and reasonably priced USB-C hub for my Surface Laptop 7?
I looked at some of the official MS ones. But thought they looked a bit ‘spenny…
These were the 3 I had shortlisted (I may end up waiting for the prime day they have earlier in the year tho…)
- Microsoft USB-C Travel Hub
- Anker Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor, 8-in-1 USB C Hub
- uni USB C HUB, 8 in 1 USB C Adapter
I’m kind of erring on the side of the official MS one and waiting for hopefully a prime day sale to make it more reasonable. (although this is entirely a decision made on aesthetics… The other two are far more functional…)
They all work the same. I would get the anker. Just check what power your laptop needs. It say 85w power delivery but should be enough. Although Microsoft surface ca be picky about slow charging. But doesn’t matter much as still works fine.

it’s not answering your question, but my last tech purchase was a Dell monitor with a built-in hub - basically the QHD version of the ones we’ve got in the office. The keyboard, mouse, and ethernet stay plugged into the monitor, all I do is pop a USB-C cable into my laptop, and it’s all there and charges the laptop.
I don’t know why this feels so much more like magic than it really is.
Yeah, I’ve noticed it gets a bit unhappy when I charge it at work with the puny 30w charger I use to charge my phone.
It eventually gets the job done tbh. I think my surface came with a 65 or 75 w charger in the box.

People have tried to plead with staff to just turn it off until it’s fixed, temporary relief was granted when they ‘tried’ to fix it but it seems it just bounced back again

Does anyone have or has used a ReMarkable device before?
