I couldn’t find a good roundup that covered both of these and didn’t want to add clutter to the front page with two posts.
From The Verge:
-
Microsoft’s new $549 Surface Laptop Go aims to compete with Chromebooks
-
Microsoft’s updated Surface Pro X has a faster processor and new platinum color option
The Surface Pro X seems like just a spec bump, so there isn’t too much interesting there. But the Surface Laptop Go is interesting. The base model is absolute garbage (4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of EMMC storage) but the other models are somewhat decent.
The overall design of the Surface products is really striking. I honestly think they look much more modern and clean than Apple’s laptops. I also really love that they are offering colors. I wish Apple would offer more colors than just gray, silver and pink/gold on their laptops.

I may be asking a dumb question or going about this wrong but I'm not sure what to do here.
So right now, I receive an estimation from one company in a PDF. It has a bunch of fields such as customer name, product, address, etc. Then I type that data and put it into Excel, where I add additional data that I have. From there I have a second PDF which has form fields that I fill with the data of the Excel spreadsheet.
My problem is with the first PDF that I get from this other company, unless I am doing something wrong I am unable to get that first PDF to show the data as fields. If I convert the first PDF into an Excel then the table data is very messy.
The amount of typing or copy and paste that it's not hard but it is time consuming. What is the best way for me to go about doing this? I've been Googling things but I'm not sure the right words of action I'm looking for.
I hope this all makes sense, but if not please ask questions and I'll do my best to try and clarify further.
