Finally got a Windows 8 laptop...

...so, what all can I now do with my wp8 phone? I have an HTC 8X, if that matters. I'm new to the windows 8/wp8 world, so I'm kind of lost..

Share office docs... SkyDrive photo albums and stuff. Contacts from hotmail, live, msn or outlook accounts sync up... There's a lot.

What do you want to do?

Honestly have no idea. Being able to use Xbox Music on my laptop would be cool. Maybe transfer playlists to my phone. Easily sync photos to and from the laptop would be neat as well.

Well on your laptop, you can stream xbox music for free.

That's great! Wasn't sure if it was available for computers or if it was limited to the xbox/wp8.

I forgot to mention HP laptops had an offer with box for 50GB free storage. If that's what you bought. Don't know if its still available.

The main connection between Windows 8 and WP8 that I use ALL the time is OneNote. It's great.

I did get an HP. What's the difference between Box and Skydrive?

And OneNote is great! I use that too. Cool that it connects as well

The main difference is that Skydrive is integrated into your phone. Both offer reliable service, but Skydrive tips the scale in its favor with more features. Download Box on your HP and wp8 and play around with it. I always have a second cloud service, which is Box, to use as a backup of my backups.
