    where can I get an extra charger for the Surface Pro 4?

    Get this one, less than half the price of the one Microsoft sells: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011TEBEGO?keywords=hippo+surface&qid=1450483659&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1&t=wpcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3347861 It is the exact same charger that ships with the SP4. The only...

    Why do expert reviewers never have any issues with new gadgets that regular users do?

    Stern from the WSJ got a faulty Surface Book and didn't wait to fix it or get a working unit - she just plastered her non-recommendation in her review.

    Here are a couple of external batteries that work with SP4

    I was checking out this one. Do you know if this would work? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HFMUBYG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=A2KUZVNQ9LP7N9&t=wpcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3280504

    Surface Pro 4 type cover - Which color do you prefer?

    I'm very happy with the Blue cover. I wanted Teal but it does not look so good in person. I suggest checking them in person.

    Review of Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (i5 / 256 / 8 model)

    You basically reviewed a hybrid device as a comparison to two separate devices. If you are going to do that, at least have the integrity to factor in the cost, support/maintenance, and portability of two devices vs one. Your review also reads like it's the first time you used a hybrid, a digital...

    Surface Pro 4 for video editing, good?

    Re: Surface Pro 4 for video editing Hi Karen, The Book is twice as heavy as the SP4 (or 1 kg. for SP4+kb vs 1.5 kg. Book), almost twice as thick, and has a larger footprint being a 13.5" screen device. I am also drooling over the SB but I have been using hybrids for a long time and the SP4 is...

    Fixes for my Surface Pro 4 bugs: power, fan, heat, display driver, sound, on screen keyboard?

    Battery life on my SP4 is horrendous. I'm getting like 3-4 hours of moderate use, with Bluetooth and V-sync off and even OneDrive sync disabled. Connected standby chewed up half the battery in 6 hours. I'm refreshing the PC as we speak and will report o any changes.

    SP4 camera not working

    OK nevermind. Problem solved. I did a reset, open camera app, played with the settings, then Photo app icon appeared on left top corener. So now I'm able to take photos. Not that I support this practice (don't use tablets for photos kids). Also, IPS guys still suck.

    SP4 camera not working

    It will not take photos and there is a flicker when you move or shake the device, showing digital artifacts on the camera app. Anybody else experiencing this? Might be a broken device; I mean those UPS guys really went out of their way to crumple the box on a corner.

    Nokia Lumia 930: User Reviews

    Lumia 930 mini-Review After bemoaning the lack of true new flagships and suffering with a Lumia 830 for 6 months (seriously, the 830 is a usability and performance disaster), I pulled the trigger on the 930. To my extreme surprise, the 930 turned out to be a dream device. Why doesn't it assuage...

    Nokia Lumia 830 vs Apple iPhone 6

    I've owned several Lumia and other WPs. Lumia 830 is easily the worst, an "Affordable Flagship" that is neither affordable nor a flagship. Pro: -microSD support - wireless charging - size, weight and form factor Con: - Slow, performance issues due to low-end processor - Expensive - Camera is...

    Why is the back button on my phone so unresponsive?

    My 830's search button was not working. I changed the Touch sensitivity from 'High' to 'Normal' and now it's working 80% of the time (sometimes it requires two taps). Note: I have a screen protector.

    Got the red 2520. Check your MS stores

    OK so I spent almost 1 hour with the red 2520 at the Microsoft store and switching back and forth between it and the Surface 2. I didn't buy it as I'm still undecided. I'm leaning towards not buying the 2520 for two main reasons: 1. As others have noted, it feels heavier than the Surface 2 even...
