    So what would you like to see in Surface Pro 5?

    Please give us a power cover designed for the SP3/SP4 now! I'd be willing to pay $200 for a power cover that also did fingerprint unlock.

    Pre-Order Cancelled. No GPS. Again!

    Only for the overpriced LTE version (and that has aGPS)... Regular iPad's don't have aGPS or GPS! Kind of sucks for drone flying so I use a much cheaper Samsung TabS 8.4".

    Hey Microsoft!!! Fix your Surface Book before it dies!

    Does the Surface Book have the same issue as the previous Surface models have with the curved/deformed body? I hoped MS would have this figured out by now, but the Surface Book in Best Buy I looked at had a bend similar to what's shown below.

    Hey Microsoft!!! Fix your Surface Book before it dies!

    Dang I haven't seen a BSOD in many years. I really want one, but it has to work as flawlessly as the SP3 its replacing or I'm not buying it.

    Best value Pro 4 configuration

    Best value in the US is going to be a Surface Pro 3. Six months ago, I ended up paying $1299.99 (i7/8gb/256gb), $69.99 for the keyboard, $136 for the dock after coupon and multiple item/bundle discount, plus I got 10% back in Best Buy rewards on top of that which more than covered the sales...

    Surface Book Freezing After Firmware Update

    I went to buy a Surface Book last night at Best Buy, but they only had one left and it had 128GB of hard drive space; not enough space since the tablet doesn't have an sd card reader (keyboard part does though). Anyways, I think they must have had the i7 on display. I played with it for a...

    [How to] Control anything in your home using Cortana!

    I'm seriously not kidding, I even posted videos on how anyone who is good with computers can set this up in their home. I even have it controlling KODI/XBMC (with my free KODI module I posted on my YouTube channel). I can ask Cortana to control almost everything in my home, and Cortana...

    Is having the same OS on desktop and mobile the winning strategy?

    I think having universal apps is MS's only shot, and it's a great platform if you've used Visual Studio 2015 (been playing with the free version). I think it's working based on the demand for Windows 10, but without some real wearables no one younger is going to want to use a WP. My Moto 360...

    Microsoft Store now showing 950XL $849.99??

    Nice looking phone... Too bad about the price (not that I was going to buy it anyways).

    How can I get Cortana and search working?

    This maybe a dumb suggestion, but did you try rebooting?

    Microsoft has no business selling the 950XL (950)

    I think it will sway developers back; especially with their cleaver API implementation for Cortana. However, Google just announced a similar API for Google Now in June, so who knows... I may not buy a WP, but I might buy an Xbox One if it supported universal apps and worked with Cortana, and...
