    Surface Book owners: Are you upgrading to the Surface Book 2?

    Will order on 9-11. SB2 512 i7 16. I actually don't need a 512, 256 would be just fine but giving up 8GB RAM not worth it. My day one SB has done me proud and am an inveterate note taker at the way too many meetings I go to. Gamer not so much, but 4.2 GHz processor will likely do access and...

    Which is better name if Microsoft have plan to release new window phone (surface or Lumia )

    As a nutzoid for both Surface and Lumia brands, I tend tothink Lumia is limited to smartphones but good ones (I am a 1020, 1520, 950XLowner). Surface is limited to nothing (Iam an SP, SP2, SP3 and SB owner) and its quality recognition along with"lean forwardness" (??) is second to none. The...

    Consumer Reports' Surface reliability controversy

    abrichman...ouch. I am a nut case for MSFT software and machines and peripherals. I have owned the SP(1), 2,3, and SB (daily driver---no, only driver) complete with insider fast ring OSes since fast ring existed. I was a beta user and tester from Win 98. We owned a computer store (3 at one...

    Cases/Covers + Accessories for your Lumia 950XL

    Ordered a new Red XL back cover from Mozo Finland on 3 Dec. Delivered 8 Feb in good repair. Am very happy with the quality, fit and look. Not quite as happy with the customer service - promised in 2-3 weeks, wrote and unanswered e-mail follow-up at 5 weeks and got a mail at 7 weeks saying...

    Finally got MOZO case for 950 XL!

    Ordered a red/gold direct from Mozo, probably should have waited for a while but I figured that the heftier Mozo would solve the back cover creaking/squeaking issue. I even went into the MSFT store in Bellevue and asked for another back cover if for no other reason than to check whether the...

    Creaky Lumia 950 XL back cover

    mine creaks too...on the bottom two corners, not the top two. I took it into the MSFT store in Bellevue and the3 Asst Mgr asked one of her compadres to get another XL and they swapped back covers top see if the cover were the problem, not the body. Alas, it was NOT the cover. She offered to...

    Proximity Sensor, Glance, Notification Problems?

    My glance screen works differently on the 950XL than on either my 1520 or after the 1520 charging circuit failed the replacement 640 given the same insider and/or RTM Win Phone 10 builds. With the 1520 and 640 I could double tap the glance screen and the lock screen would appear, then allow me...

    Memory card in surface?

    I assume its an SDXC rather than a SDHC because the format is different isn't it (exFAT).

    Call Voice quality issues

    one or two folks I talk to complain about "muffled", but not all. If used in the car with a Jabra BT handsfree NO PROBLEM. Not all complain, however, but if the recipient is over 60, then big problem (loss of ability to hear high pitches is normal).

    Anyone going to get the dock?

    Dock is a great idea and will look for one for a Christmas gift (for me). I am less than impressed with the HTC Dock app but there will be more coming from folks who have the same (lack of) impression.
