Most likely yes, my first gen Surface Pro is getting a little long in the tooth, so this seems like a good point to upgrade. I had been planning to get an i5/8GB/256GB model but I'm a little worried about them going fanless in the i5. Recently for work I've been running an Ubuntu VM and while...

They still serve different purposes and use cases, so yeah I could see people -- myself included -- buying a refreshed Surface Pro instead.

I'm thinking burgundy, I think it looks very warm and stylish. It is unfortunate they limited the colours to just the one model though, but as others have said it's probably because that is most likely to be the configuration that will sell the most.

Haven't had to time do it myself yet, but I've also heard great things about the guide ttsoldier linked. If you've never coded before, or at least not in C#, you'll want to go through their guide for that (which ttsoldier mentioned, but here's the link)...

As much as we all want the mythical beast that is "Surface Phone", there is still a limit to how fast Microsoft can design and build it. Once you have a product, it's feasible to release updated models on a roughly yearly basis, but getting there in the first place often takes a few years. So...

So it's been just over a week since I switched from a Lumia 925 to a Nexus 6P. Certainly, a lot of the improvement in speed and performance I got likely would have been there with a 950 XL as well, but I got a nice deal on the 6P and I just couldn't bring myself to invest another several hundred...

I think this is a point that a lot of people don't seem to consider, either because they just didn't think of it or they're being wilfully blind and wishful. Reminds me of when I worked at Best Buy and would have people come in, tell me they wanted a laptop with an i7, 16 GB of RAM, dedicated...

Yeah, all fair points. A page or two back I remarked that Microsoft is/becoming more multi-platform in their approach, and I think that's a smart move for them.

But you're missing what I said. It's possible for people to love all tech and be interested in it, but stick to one platform to get the most out of the experience. I've never used Android, but I still take interest when new phones come out, or my friends upgrade their devices. Same with Apple...

While hating the others is definitely superfluous, I think a lot of people pick just one platform because that's what most companies make the most enticing option. You look at how nicely things flow when you have a MacBook, iPad and iPhone, or a Lumia, Surface and Windows PC, and it makes you...

Re: Finally had enough and left the 950xl All totally valid points. To be fair being different wasn't necessarily a big factor when originally buying my Lumia, I honestly thought it would be a good phone for a Microsoft fan like myself. And at first it was, but over time the experience has...

Re: Finally had enough and left the 950xl Different strokes for different folks. For me, that is by far one of the most visually appealing things about Windows Phone over iOS and Android. Maybe it's because I prefer more minimalistic wallpapers, so there was never too much "noise" distracting...

I certainly enjoy my Lumia 925, but I'm finding it's slowing down and the battery is getting worse, and that's on 8.1, the last time I tried the Win10 insider preview it was a laggy mess. Unfortunately though I'm in university and can't afford to get a new phone anytime soon, so my only hope is...

Had my eye on the 950 XL since the first leaked renders showed up on WC. Unfortunately due to the weak Canadian dollar (and tuition) I can't afford to pick one up. I've never had a very large phone before, used to have an iPhone 4S and now I'm using a Lumia 925, but when I held the XL at the...

I'll keep that in mind if it happens again, thanks!
