    Sooooo, are you going to buy the Surface Laptop or what?

    Agreed, it does seem like a step backward. I wish the SP4 had been given the same choice of colours though, I'm not a big fan of the rather boring and industrial looking silver grey.

    Sooooo, are you going to buy the Surface Laptop or what?

    Biggest reason for me is the screen isn't a big enough increase from the SP4, which I already have. I would have considered a Surface Book but won't buy one for the same reason. Of the two though I would have preferred the Book, since it has the option of the removable keyboard which is one of...

    post AU Cortana opens my web searches in IE instead of Edge

    I know this is an old thread, but I know a possible solution to this (may be helpful if somebody else has the same problem further down the line). 1. Go to the settings in Edge (not Cortana) by clicking the 3 horizontal buttons on the top right hand corner to open the menu, and then clicking on...

    Notebook Buying Advice for Graphic Designer / Photographer

    Sorry this isn't a very technical answer, but I had a Samsung laptop 3-4 years ago. I can't remember the model unfortunately but it was a ?1000 laptop, not a cheap one and I was very disappointed with it. Build quality was very poor. In fact I nearly sent it back within the initial returns...

    Any news or rumors on Samsung coming to Windows 10 Mobile?

    I always found Samsung phones to be generally poor although they have improved in recent years. I still wouldn't want to buy one though. I would like to see HTC back, as they always seem to have been better quality, certainly the ones I had, which were the HTC Hero a few years ago - I still have...

    Why Did Microsoft Seem to Forfeit the Mobile Phone War?

    I disagree. None of what happened explains why they purchased Nokia in the first place. In 2014 the market share was increasing and although most articles and posts only see it from the American point of view, some countries were doing very well in increasing the market share of Windows Phones...

    Calibrate touch for keyboard swipe accuracy?

    I'm interested too as I have exactly the same problem on the 950. In fact I came on here just now to ask exactly the same question and I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it. On the 930 it was fantastic, I mentioned in several posts how impressed I was with it's uncanny accuracy. I...

    Going back to w8.1m , but still miss w10 ...

    Just a quick note on this. I had a similar issue with slow charging and tried charging the phone with the charger that came with my Moto G, and it worked a treat - slow charging problem fixed - so it might not be the actual phone. I also changed the cable, they soon get thin and worn with...

    SOLVED - Where can I buy a genuine 950 back panel in the UK?

    Sorry, I should have said I'm in the UK and they don't ship to the UK, but I appreciate your efforts.

    Latest camera's colour rendering sucks. How can I downgrade to the previous Camera App?

    Odd, my 950 has the latest updates, no problems at all here. It surely must be just a setting somewhere?

    Why are my Lumina 950 pictures blurry?

    What's a Lumina? Sorry, I'm not being facetious but I've noticed a lot of people call them Luminas and I've never understood why.

    SOLVED - Where can I buy a genuine 950 back panel in the UK?

    I can't find one anywhere, not even on ebay or amazon. I have a potential issue with the phone overheating quite often and there's a crack in the back cover, at the bottom where the USB slot is. I know for a fact if I send it in for repair they will use that crack as an excuse to say it's been...

    Are delays killing the momentum W10M has?

    Neither did justonlumia. He asked where the momentum was. I don't see any at all, in fact Microsoft's smartphone market share has crashed in the past couple of years and seems to be dropping back all the time. Even now I suspect there are a few people who stay faithful because of the Nokia...

    Surface Pro 4, a very expensive frustation

    You seriously think a tablet running on Android's buggy operating system is the answer? And at over ?500 including the tiny optional keyboard? I actually sold a Sony Tablet Z2 on ebay at a considerable loss, absolutely loved the tablet which seemed to be top quality but so many bugs in the OS...

    Surface Pro 4, a very expensive frustation

    I've had it freeze a few times from hibernation but nothing like 3 times a day. 2-3 times a week maybe but I do turn it off (into hibernate) an awful lot; many times a day as I'm using it virtually from when I get up to when I go to bed as we run an online business. The battery easily lasts me...
