    Is the Surface Book 2 just TOO expensive?

    I am a product advisor and trainer for Surface and Windows OEM devices and can say that apart from the rare specs regarding CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD storage all Surfaces surpass other PCs in nearly all other aspects. Their calibrated displays, optimised cameras, keyboard mechanics, touch and pen...

    Is the 950/950XL still a good investment given Mr. Nadella's recent statements?

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I like the design of the 950. It's not as remarkable as the 930's, but it's clean, lightweight and you can individualise it with exchangable back covers.

    Is the Tiles UI Ugly? How Does People Like It?

    Re: The Blatant Truth I get your point, but running e. g. the same fully fledged calculator on your PC, tablet, phone, IoT thing and whatelsenot can be as compelling as finally using them on the desktop. BUT (as always) Microsoft has to advertise these--new--things properly!
