    Pre-ordered Surface Laptop.. Wait or Ditch?

    To tell you the truth I would get the new Razer blade in a second because I like everything about it and the option to add core to it in the future would be amazing but the Canadian dollar is killing me. So the Surface laptop because of my discount came to $1678 taxes in. The razer 14 taxes in...

    USB-C ?! Bashing it is a bandwagon

    I know what you mean. If I had anything usb c right now I would probably want everything to be the same. Almost every device we own has the old style for phone and tablet so maybe that's also why I'm not complaining

    Pre-ordered Surface Laptop.. Wait or Ditch?

    I try to really take care of my stuff but yeah I will be using it for 5 years at least. I usually don't care about upgrading and will get as much out of it as I can. I think I might be over thinking it and want the best of both worlds as I would like the ability to swap the hard drive out, but...

    Pre-ordered Surface Laptop.. Wait or Ditch?

    So I have been out of the loop when it comes to electronics for a good 3 years now. My only Surface device was the Surface RT, that I lined up for on day 1! haha and yes I know it was slow and had it's problems but I don't care what people say that thing was awesome, and I still really like it...

    USB-C ?! Bashing it is a bandwagon

    Yeah I agree with you. Maybe I am stuck in the "dark ages" but I don't have anything usb c and the only reason I would ever try something c would be if I actually had a device with it but otherwise what is the point. But I am also not ready to move onto 4k yet for the same reason that not...

    Alcantara. NO or GO?

    I say go... unless proven on a mass scale after this device that it is terrible stuff I don't know who wouldn't want there laptop to fell less metal like? I think the majority try to keep an expensive device as well maintained as possible so I think it will be good.

    200 GB Skydrive for Surface 2 buyers

    I have to kind of agree. I truly feel like a beta tester now that I am on my 3rd surface! (first was a sd card reader problem, second the volume down button didn't work). If this one goes I am going to ask for an upgrade to surface 2. Having said that when I took the devices back to the store...

    Lumia 1020 for Canada?

    I unlocked a Rogers Lumina 520 and it couldn't have been easier! Cost $20 and was done in a couple of hours. And nokias app to get your carrier set up right is really easy. No problems with picture messages or tethering. Mobileincanada.com (Bell, Fido, Rogers, Telus, Koodo, Virgin, Mobilicity...

    Can I use this phone just on wifi and not activate it at all on T-Mobile?

    Is this some deal in the US. I'm in Canada, got the phone, turned it on and signed into my Microsoft account. I am using it as a WiFi only device and no problems with Xbox music or updating apps

    Should I get Surface RT at the current discounted price or wait for next gen Surface?

    I don't get people talking about the performance on Surface being bad. I have had almost no problems. Yeah the odd slow home screen, but even then very minimal. I have found with every update the OS gets more solid and never thought of it as underpowered at all.. anyways I think it also depends...

    Impressed

    Good overview. I actually had a hard time deciding between the 620 and 520but ended up with the 520 just yesterday. Its funny you said about the iPhone because in one of the comments I just made I said I bought this as an mp3 player but am thinking of putting my sim in it from my iPhone cause...

    native windows app TORRENT available

    I like Torrent RT better... I could never get Torrex to work. It kept crashing.

    Well I have had my 8x for 8 months...... Getting sick of it.

    Its funny because I have an iPhone 4 and am done with it now. Am looking for a change and not even the update impresses me. I have surface but have never owned a windows phone before though so can't really compare. I have a lot of experience with android though and am not that impressed either...

    Can Surface RT go faster... with updates?

    Couldn't agree more with this! I think Microsoft has done a good job with the OS and don't have a problem with it, but the work on the app end needs some work.

    Desktop Pulldown

    This is just an idea, but after seeing the Blue beta and how you just swipe up and you get the list of your apps, why don't they take it a step further and you swipe down from the top and the desktop could come down. It would make everything nice and clean and flow really well (hopefully...

    Surface RT MicroSD Disappearing

    Yup I had this happen and couldn't get help and not many can reproduce it.... don't waste your time and get annoyed just take it back. I took mine in and within a minute they replaced it for me so they must know that some units have this problem. The new unit is great! Obviously try a...

    Xbox Video Vs iTunes.. or other

    So I am having trouble right now deciding which video service I should get my movies from. I am a long time torrent downloader but want to go legit. I have a HTPC with windows 8 hooked up. I was about to go all in on xbox video but I find the app with windows 8 pretty bad. For instance there...
