    Pricing of Laptop/Tablets and All-in-one Windows PC's

    Windows PC's are absolutely ballooning to an off-putting price. I'm an avid windows user, but please hear me out. The benefit to buying a Mac is that you know what you get when you open the box. You know that "this is the price and it will absolutely be able to do XY and Z. When it comes to a...

    Pixel 2 or something else?

    This won't be short but hopefully it helps. I was a Windows Phone user for a while and loved the platform. I had an HTC trophy, HTC X8, and a Lumia Icon. I had the icon longer than any other device, even updating it to Windows 10 at one point. In mid-late 2015 I switched carriers and needed to...

    What is ONE Xbox Live feature we still don't have that you really wish we did?

    1. Universal search (bring it back). I want to be able to type in a movie/tv show and see everywhere that it is available. 2. I want to be able to seamlessly share media from my surface/edge browser to the browser on my Xbox. Similar to how YouTube apps can share media to a television.

    What is ONE Xbox Live feature we still don't have that you really wish we did?

    Unfortunately, this is becoming the norm in modern technology. Google and Microsoft are both terrible with taking away things that I frequently use, then calling it a new "feature".

    Best antivirus for Windows 10?

    I've been a long time user of the free, basic version of AVG antivirus. I've been using it since 2004 or 2005 with very little trouble. In fact I can only think of one issue in 2009 or 2010 (something like that) where AVG let something slip through and I had to download a separate Malware tool...

    SWITCH to windows phone, or shouldn't I?

    Sorry, but there just isn't a reason to switch to Windows Mobile in 2017. iOS and Android offer better hardware selections. The lack of top apps may not be a big deal, until, you fine that 1 app that you need and it isn't available. Lastly, Microsoft has positioned themselves in a place that...

    Verizon 8x/822 users, would you have waited now that the Laser has been announced?

    I told my self from day 1 that I was not going to get an 8x (not enough storage/ wanted the Nokia apps) or a Lumia 822 (it would have been an awesome phone in 2011), and that I would wait for either a 922 or a Samsung flagship. Then the Samsung was never announced and black Friday came where I...

    Notifications and live tile issues after moving from wp7 to wp8

    My first windows phone was an HTC trophy on Verizon, I then upgraded to a HTC 8x (same carrier). After the switch to wp8 I have found that I consistently have issues receiving toasts and live tile updates that I did not have before the upgrade. The apps in question are Words With Friends Pro...
