What about ergonomic keyboards? I read the WC article and that helped a little, but there have to be more available than the four they mentioned... I want something that will be used mainly for typing and modeling work (GIS/remote sensing, mathematical modeling), so a number pad would be good too.

I respect and understand your opinion. However, provide more details: how is it a generational leap? What else does it provide other than "extra graphics power"?

Whoa whoa whoa. When did THIS happen? I have a super chunky black OG Xbox One and I want the S that looks so much nicer. Will there be another "flash sale" trade-in? As for the X, I don't understand the purpose. Sure, it's gonna provide extra graphics power, but beyond that, it seems the exact...

When should we hear the results?

Is the keyboard any better than that of the pro 3? I'm sure it is but I haven't seen any reviews of it.

I too would upgrade to Pro, as I will be in graduate school in a few years and will need modeling software. I also need to download compilers and code editor programs to continue with my programming hobby. Although, this laptop seems rather expensive for being so restrictive in terms of...

I recently bought a PDP Deliverer of Truth controller. Very comfortable and much grippier than the stock controller. It's wired, and the faceplate is interchangeable which is nice. The ABXY buttons are slightly stiffer than stock, but the bumpers and triggers are easier to use IMHO. Only $50 on...

They do not get replaced by bots, and likewise, no one can join a horde game in progress. So if you start with five players, and after a few rounds, two people quit/get disconnected, you have to play with three players for the entirety of the game.

I too am switching from Windows to Android. I'm a Verizon user, grandfathered into their new system, so our bills are pretty cheap with five smartphone lines. With Microsoft focusing on business users with their smartphones, it's about time that I switch to Android. I'm amazed by the Pixel XL...

Yes. If someone quits in the middle of it, play resumes. Which kinda sucks, if you ask me, but bots won't be much help either.

That's awesome. Thanks so much! I really think many people would benefit if WC did an article comparing the independent networks (Ting, Republic, Cricket, etc.), especially given how expensive the Big Four are these days.

I was considering it. I'm on the VZW XL family plan right now, so my leaving it might actually cost us more money. We're still doing research.

I might actually, by selling the 950. I'll definitely PM you if I decide to. Either I switch from Verizon to AT&T to use that phone for two years, or sell it and hope that Verizon gets a new high-end Windows 10 Mobile phone, or I'm gonna have to switch to Android.

I won a $100 Amazon gift card during last year's Hidden Gems, and this year's I won a Lumia 950 :)

Would you be interested in a trade? I have an i7 SP3 with keyboard, pen, and case. It is a bit too much power for what I need, and I want to run games on it, but the SP3 is a bit weak with its integrated graphics.
