I have configured notifications to work only for specific apps, and it works great. I only see what I want to see.

It mostly works well for me, and I would like to go with it full time instead of Chrome. However, Chrome's dev tools blow Edge out of the water and that's really the only thing holding me back at this point. I'll admit that they've improved upon them recently, but they still don't match Chrome...

It's hard to find a good case for the SB2 15", but I ended up ordering this: https://www.sfbags.com/collections/microsoft-surface-bags-cases-and-sleeves/products/outback-solo-laptop-bag And this: https://www.sfbags.com/products/surface-accessories-pouch I like this system because sometimes I...

It has gotten progressively worse, acting more like it did prior to the firmware update. It never recognizes the external monitor upon initial boot. I have to disconnect the dock then connect it again, but the windows on the external monitor have weird gaps in the outer borders. So I restart and...

My biggest complaint at the moment is in regards to the Surface Dock. The whole thing is just not stable. The external monitor flickers during boot and it briefly goes off when connecting or disconnecting USB peripherals (and I've tried 3 different DisplayPort cables). Sometimes the monitor just...

You can buy disposable laptops for $300-$700 every year or so, or you can spend a lot more and have a laptop that could easily last 5 years or more with proper care. Rather than wasting time switching laptops all the time, not to mention the horrible build quality, sad performance, and lack of...

Here I thought it was updating itself -- turns out it wasn't! Thank you for the information, it's working much better. It still flickers off and on repeatedly every morning when I first power up. Then about 15-20 minutes later the monitor goes off for about 3 seconds then comes back on. It only...

Yeah, ever since 1709 on both my SP4 and SB2, but only for 10 or 15 seconds after logging in to Windows.

I still miss the SP3 Dock. I had gotten the free adapter to use with my SP4 and it was great. I wish we could have something similar for SB2. Seems possible. I'm using the current dock with my SB2 i7/16/512 with no issues, but I don't play games.

I just got my Surface Book 2 yesterday and I'm loving it! One oddity, in my opinion, is that the batteries seem to discharge at the same rate. At first thought, this may seem reasonable. However, my thinking is that the battery in the base should be used first, saving the tablet battery just in...

Desktop/laptop/tablet: 50/40/10

I read in a Windows Central article that SP4 type covers are indeed compatible with the new Surface Pro.

I seriously believe that they are purposely keeping us in the dark and keeping it very low key because they want the WOW factor when they release some new next-generation device (Surface Phone anyone?). Obviously, I could be wrong, but that is my take on the situation. Earlier this year, I...

Very good! It hasn't fallen off the hook while driving around and I've even pulled the power cable out without unhooking it.

I've attached the hook to the dashboard of my truck and it works out just great.
