According to a recent Mac Rumours story, Apple are readying a consumer AR headset, which they hope will eventually phase out the iPhone in the next 10 years. The question that has to be asked, are Microsoft on the verge of losing the consumer AR race? Hololens has been around for years, but...

I think it's fair to say that a large number of enthusiasts would like to see Windows 11 on the Duo. And, why not? Windows 11 looks like a mobile operating system, with its centralised taskbar and clean, easy-to-navigate start menu. It's a lot more touch friendly and easier to use on a small...

I recently started using the Bing app on my android phone. Within the app is a feature called nearby. Essentially, it's a map showing local restaurants, shops, etc. It also has an option to get directions, and here's where it gets interesting... Hit the directions tab and you're taken to a...

Loving the W11 experience but can't figure out why Cortana is still there. It doesn't do anything useful...no note taking, reminder setting, looking up info, etc. If it's truly dead, and it is, then why have Microsoft kept it in W11?

Cortana has started popping up on my laptop screen. Not sure why...I haven't uttered the words "hey Cortana" since Microsoft decided relegate it to retard status a year or so back. Since then, I moved over to Google's assistant. So, now that Cortana keeps wanting my attention, and the "hey...

Something I've taken away from being stuck at home for weeks is a new found appreciation for just how bad skype has become. Call me late to the party, but last week I had my first zoom call. We had 4 people on the call, and I was expecting a horrible, broken up, laggy, audio/visual nightmare...

My Pro 4 died last week, and I opted to try out windows-on-arm and grab a Pro X (£899). It's only been 2 days, but I love it and can see that Microsoft are onto something with this. It looks and feels a lot better than the traditional Pro Tablets/ 2-in-1. Although it weighs the same than a Pro...

The leather-bound HP Folio was one of the nicest looking and unique laptops to have come out in the past 18 months, and PC World here in the UK is still selling them. I tested one out last week, and it's really awesome. I was surprised at how sleek and well built it is. The leather looks just...

Just had a gander at the ProX on the Microsoft UK website. £900 for the basic model... ...ramping up to £1,150 for the mid-level machine... ...capping out at over £1,600 for the top-end version. And let's not forget the keyboard, because a Surface without a Keyboard is pretty much useless...

We're a year away from the Neo and Duo hitting shelves, but I'm already thinking about what sales pitch I'm going to use on the wife to own these devices :) What's your best guess on price and rollout/worldwide availability for when these eventually make it into the wild? And, in the case of...

On the settings page, under Apps, there's a startup tab, with a list of applications that will automatically start up when you boot into your PC. I want to add two apps to the list, specifically Whatsapp and Your Phone. I keep forgetting to open these apps when I boot up my laptop in the...

Wonder where Microsoft will feature in this brave new world.... https://inews.co.uk/news/technology/5g-is-live-ee-switches-on-uks-first-network/

I was a Continuum early adopter. As soon as it became available in early 2016, I bought the puck and jumped right in. At first it was just a fun experiment, but within a few weeks I could see where Microsoft wanted to go with the concept, and I was completely bought in. Continuum became my...

CES 2019 is drawing to a close, and it's become evident to even a casual observer that Microsoft is not in it for the consumer. Don't misunderstand me, I appreciate that Microsoft no longer use CES as the main event, but it's pretty obvious that Microsoft are not even remotely consumer...

With the recent announcement that Microsoft is prioritising a laptop sized duel screen device and downgrading Andromeda's status internally, it's blatantly evident that iOS and Android are going to be the only 2 pocket pc platforms for the next decade....or longer. I made the switch to Android...

Don't get me wrong, the product featured in the article below is not exactly the kind I'd spend good money to carry around, but it shows just how far even unknown companies are with a foldable screen form factor. In my mind's eye, I can see some Microsoft Manager, snoozing at the wheel and...

As someone who owns a Pro 3, Pro 4, Book 2 and Surface Go, I honestly didn't think I'd be saying this, but really, don't bother with them. The drama just isn't worth it. The issue isn't with the machines, but the power cables that come with them. I've had endless issues and countless returns...

I've bought my teenager a Surface Go, and I could use some suggestions on how to introduce her to Windows 10 in an exciting way. When I told her I bought the machine, I was met with "Oh dad, that's cool I guess. My own laptop. Ok....." As with most kids, she's an iPhone user (shocker, I know)...

I appreciate there are probably a lot of licencing and copyright issues around this, but Microsoft announced the Edge E-reader feature 2 years ago and it's still only in the USA. The e-reader app choice in the Windows store is terrible. It's near on impossible to use any Windows 10 device as an...
