    Where Art Thou Nokia 1525?

    I suppose the most pertinent question is: When is the next phone/devices Microsoft event likely to be? History is usually a pretty good guide for these things so what other Microsoft-centric events or major events in the industry occur in the lead up to the holiday season?

    Small 3g/4g USB modem for Surface

    I'm after a small USB 3g (4g is a bonus) modem for my Surface Pro 2, can be any SIM size. The ones I've seen are all quite large and bulky like the USB flash drives of the early 2000s. Anybody know of anything smaller?

    Microsoft is entirely to be blame for the hysteria.

    The problem is that if they do that then people just expect it as fact, exactly like what happened here! The details have gotten out, then it wasn't ready and now they have done the right thing and canned it. We've also seen the opposite with the same type of feature from Samsung, the details...

    Microsoft is entirely to be blame for the hysteria.

    Yes but that's my point, companies don't need to confirm or deny - I don't believe Apple ever has. Yes based upon the last however many years we can say with almost certainty that there will be a new iPhone but beyond that we know nothing and the company has remained silent.

    No Mclaren this year. What to do???

    I'm kind of glad they killed it off, it was the poster child for 3D Touch and from everything I've seen of those implementations they have sucked. It's a good thing if Microsoft has said their implementation isn't really right or intuitive or non-gimmicky or whatever. They'll probably kill...

    Microsoft is entirely to be blame for the hysteria.

    Do we know there is going to be an iPhone 6? Apple hasn't confirmed or denied it. It is an assumption and apart from the rumors from supply chains we don't know anything about it. We don't even know what it will be called. The same goes for Microsoft, of course they will release a flagship...

    Two month review

    Personally I don't like the TypeCover 2 touchpad and the stylus holder (or lack thereof when charging) is annoying. Also the stock stylus calibration leaves something to be desired. ...but overall I feel it is the best computing device I have ever had, I don't have to carry a laptop and a...

    New Graphics Drivers

    Yep that's showing you have the old drivers. Crap I just realized I missed a step in the instructions, I'll amend the initial post.

    New Graphics Drivers

    What does it say under the 'Driver' tab of the display properties?

    New Graphics Drivers

    So I had some issues with graphics (every now and then a crash in a 3D application or game) and there are no new WHQL drivers for the graphics card. Intel has released new drivers for the HD4400 used in the Surface Pro 2 - downloadable here which fixed the issues I was having. If you are having...

    Lines on the screen of my surface pro 2

    Agree with stephen_az, I have seen the same thing every now and then on images but the slightest zoom makes it disappear. It's not a hardware fault.

    Do I need the surface Pro 2?

    The Surface Pro 2 is incredibly fast but the the Surface 2 is significantly faster than its predecessor. The main thing that held me back from the original Surface RT as a casual-use tablet (web browsing, email, etc...) was the low resolution screen and not-brilliant performance, both of these...

    Latest BS: Ipad air competes with laptops

    Personally I do have to agree that 4:3 is the better aspect ratio for the web, email, ebooks, etc...however the 16:9 ratio of the Surface is superior for multitasking. With 4:3 I can't realistically have 2 applications side-by-side and I never realized how awesome that is on a tablet until I got...
