    This is my perfect "Surface 4" what's yours?

    The Samsung galaxy book 10.6 version comes close spec wise. If uses a core M3, has pen support, and is Galaxy build quality. I went from a surface 3 to a surface pro 4, and the only thing I miss is the now compact size. If I didn't have a sp4, I'd probably get one of those...

    New Venue 8 Pro 5855

    Since I wrote my post, i've done a full factory reset on it, which seems to have fixed some of the issues. it still does not have a good record for power management, and i don't recommend it unless you plan to charge it regularily. i could see this working in a lab type environment, where you...

    Surface pro 4 or wait for surface pro 5

    I from what's been released for the creator's update, and what we know/don't know for RS3, I think it's pretty safe to say that any new surface device probably won't be coming out till next year, when they can release it and have a mixed reality headset to go with it. I could see msft doing a...

    RT or not to RT

    I was going to suggest the HP envy x2 surface pro knockoff. they come up every so often, and has built in LTE through verizon. but... I have a surface pro 4, and I got the surface arc mouse, and like it, but rarely use it. I use the touchscreen or the trackpad more often then not...

    Touchscreens and Continuum

    touchscreen works when you project your phone to a windows 10 PC, such as a surface pro 4, or an intel compute stick hooked up to a touchscreen monitor. I think i've gotten touchscreen to work when i hooked the dell 23" touchscreen up to the microsoft display dock, but it's been a while. and it...

    Xiaomi Mipad 2 and 3

    I've always been interested in the 8-10" tablet category. I was wondering if Dan or anyone at windows central has reviewed Xiaomi's MiPad 2? also, Xiaomi appears to be coming out with an Mipad 3, which will have core M processors, and what looks like great spec's. any thoughts on these products?

    What phone to buy?

    one other phone that's compact and has nice features is the xperia x compact. It has a decent camera, expandable memory, and a compact form factor. The only drawback is its android, but Sony has been doing a good job updating them.

    Enjoying my 950XL again

    I am almost right at the same point as you. the difference for me is I switched to a sony xperia xz and android. I spent roughly the last 3 months on it, and while it's nice to have access to some apps that aren't available to windows mobile, I don't feel it's enough to justify switching...

    So.... I'm a dumbass

    You've chosen the more difficult route. my only experience is with the lumia 640xl, and i'm actually pretty surprised at home similar the 2 phones are(950xl versus 640xl). I was in the same boat, in that i didn't want to spend a boatload of money on a new screen assembly for this rather low end...

    Running WIndows 10 OS on iPhone (6s)

    this isn't really the same, but you can use an ipad as basically a screen for a windows 10 device. I've not tried it with an iphone, but i imagine that might work? see: https://kangaroo-infocus.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/206354433-Using-your-iPad-to-control-your-Kangaroo-Mobile-Desktop

    intel compute stick as an overpriced continuum dock...

    So, i'm writing this from my intel compute stick, but i'm actually using my dv8pro. this is because with an intel compute stick, like most other windows 10 items, I can wirelessly project to it, and additionally, I can use the compute stick's device 's mouse and keyboard. this set up is actually...

    lapdock hdmi

    I think it works the other way.If it's anything like the nexdock, then it's a micro hdmi in, not out. and its probably so you can use it with a tablet or something.

    Could HTC release a windows phone for the vive?

    Since i'm considering moving onto other phones from the windows system, I'm looking at htc's site. And i have to wonder, why wouldn't HTC build a window's phone for their vive VR platform? If the 835 comes out, and then Microsoft supports x86 emulation, could HTC build a phone? I don't think...

    Continuum on XBox One

    2 things stood out to me, using the bluetooth xbox controller with windows phone, which i've been wondering about if it works or not, and if it does, awesome, but then, i did a quick search, and found this: The Universal Emulator app for playing old console ROMs is back in the Windows Store |...

    latest update to microsoft messaging broke ability to send sms/mms

    The latest update to microsoft messaging(3.23.16000.0) on my lumia 950 xl has broke my ability to send sms and mms messaged. I'm currently using Tmobile. I've manually entered the apn settings, and this still hasn't helped. does anyone else have this issue?

    Continuum on XBox One

    You're not missing much. the xbox wireless display app has a lot of latency. if you're really wanting a wireless connection, i'd recommend getting a microsoft wifi adapter.
