    USB-C ?! Bashing it is a bandwagon

    It's become a trend to bash a device not featuring the USB- 'Type C'; For those bashers, how important is it in all honesty? Most people use it for charging and seriously, it's not even of that much importance otherwise. Its' still USB A that is dominant everywhere and not type C. It's an...

    Surface Laptop Giveaway

    What exactly is the situation regarding the giveaway? The competition closed like 16 days ago :/ I really don't see the cause of holdup, no declaration of winner either. Being patient about this is really hard. Did someone already win it though?

    Are you convinced? Daniel Rubino did a great job!

    So, Windows Central finally did a review on the Surface Laptop and it looks great. (Wish I could get one...) Daniel Rubino has done an extensive review as usual and I'm pretty much sold on the brilliance of the device. Anyone else felt the same or are you'll underwhelmed?

    Critical Error : Start Menu - WIN 10

    My start menu won't open, or Cortana and the notification center for that matter! Tried the safe reboot and powershell options but they don't seem to work either. Is there a fix for this barring a reset? I really don't want to format unless it's the ONLY option out there

    Surface Laptop vs XPS 13? Which would you choose?

    I'd like to know, if people had a choice, which one would they go for? Give a reason as to why you'd prefer a particular model - looks/price/features and what not. It's interesting to see how people pick their laptops because not everyone is the same. It doesn't necessarily have to be better...

    What's the maximum potential of the Surface Laptop?

    I know the specs are pretty good but NOT THAT big to call it a 'beast' and what not, but how would it stand in the hands of a user who might some day have to render stuff and at the same time like the occasional gaming (light of course)? Would it run well in the long run? I'm asking this...

    Surface Laptop and Surface Pro. Why are people still confused?

    Why are people still confused between the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro? I mean, it comes down to form factor eventually doesn't it?

    What HUBs/adaptors would one need to future proof the Surface Laptop?

    The Surface Laptop is getting some "hate" for the fact it has "few" ports and doesn't have particular ports to maximize utility. Well, thanks to HUBs and adaptors that won't be much of a problem. What HUBs/adaptors would one need to future proof/maximize utility of the Surface Laptop?

    Which Surface Pen for the Surface Laptop?

    The Surface Laptop and Surface Pro (technically 5) release globally on the same day. I do have one doubt though! Which pen should one buy for the laptop? The new one with 4096 levels and tilting ? or the older one? Will the new one be fully functional on the Surface Laptop? Technically it...

    Alcantara. NO or GO?

    I've heard contrasting views on alcantara fabric. While some adore the feeling and comfort, others say it attracts greasiness like a magnet. I have had no experience so I can't say as such...

    4 GB RAM and just one sensor. Why?

    4 GB RAM comes with the base model of the Surface Laptop. My current laptop running a third generation i5 has the same thing. Now, with all specs being high this could be defended and some might even say it is 10S so it'll run fine. 1) What if you upgrade to Win 10 Pro? 2) Why is there only one...

    The actual reply to the MacBook?

    With so many devices out now like the Surface Laptop, Surface Book and the Surface Pro, which would be the actual reply to the MacBook Pro? Naturally it would be the Surface Laptop taking the form factor but then the Surface Book would sweep the floor if we needed a winner from Microsoft. What...

    Edge and Bing cannot be switched out in Windows 10 S. WIll it work?

    With EDGE and Bing an option people cannot change due to the limitations of W10 S, will the platform really see a lot of users? The fact that Chrome has a lot of users and the lack of any browser on the Windows Store could prove to be a problem. Is this really a great move? Isn't it more like...

The thing is I've been managing with it pretty well but the lack of activity from the likes of Google and Facebook has been rather annoying.

    Will Windows 10 S help Microsoft beat Chromebooks?

    With the new Windows 10 S out, will Microsoft actually beat Chromebooks? I mean, I understand how system apps can keep it more secure and increasing battery life. The limitations of Edge and Bing and the possible block on Chrome and other browsers could prove cumbersome to a lot of users...
