    Considering Upgrading from Surface Pro 4 to Surface Go

    Hi all. I've had a Core m3 Surface Pro 4 for a couple of years and I'm considering an upgrade to either a Surface Pro 6 or a Surface Go. The Go is appealing becaues I like the size of it, but I have a few concerns. 1) Will I notice a dip in performance? 2) Will I notice a dip in battery life...

    Will the Surface Pro 4 work with the Microsoft Windows Mobile Display Dock?

    If you have a display dock and a Surface device and use a USB A to C cable to connect it with the dock, is it compatible?

    Does Surface Laptop really perform well on its target purpose - device for students?

    Certainly. I was a little vague on it, I was speaking about Windows 10 S for the theoretical programming student.

    Does Surface Laptop really perform well on its target purpose - device for students?

    It depends on what needs you have. Programming student, probably not. English student? With so much being web based these days, I could see it being good for that. What it could also be used for is sort of a premium Windows 10 S device for a teacher or group leader in a Windows 10 S department...

    Surface Laptop's great battery life confirmed in video

    It'd be a nice step up from my Surface Pro 4. I love it, but it can be a bit short lived sometimes. Though, oddly enough, the Creator's Update seems to have helped. I think also putting my system into a pseudo- Windows 10 S setup where it has to ask me to install outside apps, which I really...

    Windows 10 Rollout

    Thanks for the responses! My questions were actually due to unrelated, personal weirdness; I'm currently working on a Windows Mobile 10 how to guidebook, and I don't have a phone that can be set to Windows Phone 8.1 anymore. I just ordered an unlocked lumia 532 specifically to get 8.1...

    Windows 10 Rollout

    Thanks for the complete list! Does anybody know which particular carrier and region variants have gotten it so far? For example, say, the T-Mobile 435, AT&T 640, unlocked 532, etc etc? I doubt the carrier locked variants have gotten it so far or else Windows Central or someone else would have...

    Windows 10 Rollout

    My apologies if there's already a thread for this; I spent some time searching and didn't see it. What users/devices/carriers do we have confirmed as receiving the Windows 10 update? I know we have the master list, but I'm currently trying to choose between some sort of burner Lumia for...

    Working on a Book/Website about Windows 10 Mobile, looking for suggestions

    I'm currently finishing up a Coding Bootcamp, and I decided that I would put my new skills to use with an informative website (which will be fairly easy to convert into an e-book) about how to use Windows 10 mobile. I figured that this is the best place to go for some opinions. I just had the...

    Who is getting the new Surface 3?

    I'm tempted. Might look into getting an LTE version to replace my 2520.

    Upgrading options from OEM versions

    If I understand it correctly, the 32 vs 64 bit question is inherent in the processor itself- its set up for either 64 or 32 in how it operates.

    Can I get some help with my New Surface Pro 3 power options?

    New Surface Pro 3 power options Yesterday, after installing some updates, I noticed that for the first time I have option to choose a power plan on my Surface Pro 3 besides Balanced. There seem to be the typical balanced/power saver/high performance options. Is this a fluke/bug, or are other...

    If MS cancelled all future phone development, what would you do?

    Hm. Probably go for an iPhone, if there wasn't a viable forked Android option available (like, if Microsoft stopped Windows Phone development in favor of something like Nokia X).
