    My list of pros and cons for those thinking about a Surface Book

    Lethal, it is hard to take you seriously when you ignore many of the Book's features for the sake of making your point. The Book wasn't designed to be a gaming laptop and Microsoft hasn't marketed it as one, yet you are comparing it to one. For my purposes, the Book is one of the best options...

    Notepad App for Windows 10?

    Notepad App for Windows 10 Thought I saw a article on Windows 10 Notepad apps, but I cannot find it. Any suggestions on a Windows 10 app that is similar in function to Notepad++? Not a programmer, but I liked the tab and numbered line functionality.

    Surface Pro 4 or other? Moving from Mac

    I have the exact SP3 you're looking at and I love it. My daily use ranges from taking notes in a meeting, Office, email, and internet browsing. I've used it to focus and adjust the view of security cameras that my company installs (up on a ladder, much easier than a full laptop). I usually have...

    [Band] USB Device Not Recognized

    Cannot get it to work on Win 10 Pro. Had a Band Support rep tell me to take the device to my local Microsoft Store for replacement. This will be my third....hopefully they do replace it. If not I'll just use the phone app.
