Heya everyone, I need a Windows laptop that is as light as possible so that it is easy to carry wherever I want. This will ideally be for myself and my family members who are elderly.

I will be using photoshop, adobe premier, word, and excel and watching movies and browsing reddit and youtube on it mostly, same with my family except the adobe stuff.

Please recommend me a Laptop if possible, lighter than the Surface Pro 12 1.5 pounds (686g)

Hi everyone, I recently updated my Windows 11, and it has caused several issues with my computer. Here are the problems I'm facing:

1- Touchscreen Stopped Working: After the update, my touchscreen functionality has completely stopped working. Device managers under Human Interface doesn't even display a HIF-Compliant Touch screen driver.

2- Suspend Mode Not Functioning: The suspend mode no longer works. I have to manually turn off and restart my computer, which is very inconvenient.

3- Sound Driver Affected: The sound driver was also affected, but I managed to fix it by reinstalling the drivers.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues after the latest Windows 11 update? If so, were you able to find a solution? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have followed all the steps I found online, but nothing has worked so far...

Frankly, it's disappointing to see such significant issues arising from a Windows update. I wish I had known about all the problems this new update would cause; that way, I never would have installed it.

I recently replaced my 16 inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro with a Zenbook 14 Flip OLED and I've had it for about a month.

I have observations about the touch experience:

• The touch response is very accurate, smooth, and responsive.

• Almost all Windows apps, whether from this decade, or two decades ago, react exactly how you expect to touch.

• The touch navigation is far more user friendly and easy to use than iPadOS, while simultaneously being far more powerful.

Additionally, I have some overall thoughts about having touch on my laptop:

• Scrolling and zooming with a touch screen is a natural gesture whether in tablet mode or laptop mode. Once you get used to it, there is no going back.

• Photo editing applications, websites, map software, and other use cases that benefit from panning and zooming, are far more intuitive when touch is available.

• Touch screens can provide instant relief from repetitive strain injuries if you use a laptop on your lap.

I've had touch laptops in the past, and they have come and gone. However, the Windows 11 experience is so good that I don't even need a dedicated tablet anymore. For a laptop use case, touch is an immensely beneficial hardware feature that is hard to omit once you get used to it.

I've become so biased toward touch on laptops at this point that I am frustrated that Apple only ships dumb non touch displays on their MacBooks. I have a hard time recommending their products simply because I am so accustomed to touch screens on laptops, and I want others to have this positive experience. I've found myself reaching out and touching a MacBook display out of pure habit. However, it seems when you try to explain the benefits of touch screens to Apple users, they convince themselves that it is a dumb idea. I guess in the end, that's the only stance an Apple user can take. Apple made the wrong bets on touch computing a decade ago, and its still harming them to this day.

And iPadOS is some sort of dumb joke operating system. It has terrible UX, hidden gestures, random inconsistencies, basic features missing. It's such a shame Apple ships such poor software with hardware that is arguably years ahead of the competition. Classic Apple-ism.
