    Surface Book from Macbook Air 2 Months in

    Just wanted to say that I'm really liking the Surface Book. Not sure why but mine was a bit buggy the first week or so but has settled down fine. It's now rock solid and no issues of any kind. I like having the touchscreen and pen. Taking notes during a meeting with the pen was just brilliant...

    Walnut Skin

    Just installed a walnut skin cover I ordered on Amazon. I didn't get the Toast one because 100 bucks was a little steep for me. This one was 35 bucks. Came unfinished. I had to sand it and apply a finish to it. It feels amazing. The feel of natural wood instead of cold metal really makes a...

    Battery question?

    I'm seeing both of my batteries draining at the same time. I was under the impression that the battery in the dock drained first and then the one in the screen? I thought this was so that you could always undock without having to worry about battery. Is this not true? Draining both at the same...

    Former Mac owner New to Surface Book Question

    I'm trying to determine if the surface book I got actually has the nvidia dgpu that I ordered. Tried to launch the nvidia control panel but it won't launch for some reason. When I click on it nothing happens. How do I check to make sure I actually have the dgpu?

    Trying Again!

    Had a fraudulent transaction on fleabay trying to buy a Surface Book a couple of weeks ago. Decided to try Amazon instead. Just bought one on Amazon yesterday. Splurged and got one with the dGPU as I do a bit of video editing as a hobby and the increased speed for export and working with video...

    Keyboard shrunk?

    Just ran some updated yesterday and my keyboard is suddenly about 3/4 size. I went into settings and set the keyboard size to large but it doesn't seem to change. Does anyone know what happened?

    Everybody is going crazy over this thing.

    I'm at the annual Adobe Max conference and Microsoft has a booth here. It's wall to wall people going nuts over the Surface Studio. Apple should be scared. This device is going to make people take a second look at the Surface Book as well.

    Making the switch!

    Apple user since the 90's. I've owned plenty of Apple computers both desktop and laptop. This will be my first foray into the windows world. The Surface Book just looked too compelling. Scored a new i7 model for a grand on fleabay. Price was too good to pass up. This will replace my 2013 MacBook...

    Transformer 3 Pro

    Just saw that it's now available at Costco. Price looks good for all that ram and storage. Wish battery life was reasonable. Awful battery life may make this a no go for me. ASUS Transformer 3 Pro T303UA 2-in-1 Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 2880 x 1920 Display

    No Hey Cortana

    Can't figure this out. Hey Cortana isn't available on my 1520 running 14926. Tried resetting the phone to factory settings. Tried going fast ring. Tried opting out of fast ring. Tried rebooting. Tried setting the language and region to UK and then switching back to US. Anybody have any ideas...

    Macbook Air to Surface Pro- Help needed

    I currently have a Mid 2013 Macbook Air. It has 8GB ram and 1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz) with 4MB shared L3 cache. Which of the Surface Pro machines would match it in performance for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Light video editing? Best I can tell this is the 4th...

    Jumping Ship

    After a brief foray into the world of Windows phone I'm jumping ship for Android. I came to the 521 from iPhone 5. I didn't expect a low end model phone to match the performance of such a high end model, but in the end I couldn't make it work for me. Some of my issues are: Random restarts. I...

    T Mobile band confusion

    Trying to understand how this works. I have a 521 which does not do LTE but does do t mobile 4G. Will the 1320 RM994 give me the same speed?

    All in! 4 iPhones > 4 Lumia 521's

    Made the transition this weekend. Dumped my expensive Verizon plan for a T Mobile plan at less than half price. Took a bit of a beating on trade in value for the iPhones but it was worth it for the monthly bill savings. You should have seen the look on the saleswoman's face when I told her I...
