    Surface Laptop Studio 2: Specs, design, new features, and everything we know so far

    I'm quite anxious for this upgrade. Been holding onto my SB3 for a while, since the first Laptop Studio wasn't much of an upgrade. I'll definitely be buying the top model when it comes out.

    Microsoft's Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse or the Surface Precision Mouse?

    It's also worth noting that the Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse uses a rechargeable battery, while the Surface Precision Mouse uses AAA batteries." You got that backwards in more than one place.

    Is this Damage covered under warranty?

    I don't even see what you're talking about, but the question I have is this: Is it bulging out, or indented? If it is bulging outward, I would take it to the store, because they have had issues with battery bulging (which can be a precursor to an explosion or fire), and they replaced my SB1 with...

    Must-have Surface Book 2 accessories?

    I have one of these cases that I used on my Surface Book for almost two years, and now it is on my Surface Book 2. It does show a little bit of wear along the edges, but my Surface Book looked like it just came out of the box when I took it off. I love the look of the case, and the protection...

    New to SB2 Forums Thanks to Microsoft

    I have to say that while I have had problems with the hardware that Microsoft builds, I still love it, and I have been mostly very happy with their customer service. I started with a second-hand Surface Pro, then later a Surface Pro 2, and a Surface 2 for my wife. On the day that the Pro 3 came...

    Cortana App vs MS Launcher Cortana on Android

    I'm new to Android - Less than a month in. I tried uninstalling the Cortana app and using the launcher, and several things don't work. I'm also frustrated that I can't figure out how to get Cortana to read texts in the car, and when I dictate texts to her they fail to send. I'm hoping they get...

    How do I best Microsoftize my new Pixel 2?

    I've been using Microsoft phones for probably fifteen years - Windows CE (if I remember right), Windows Mobile, and Windows Phone. Last night I got tired of waiting. My nearly 4 year old Lumia Icon (wow, just looked up the launch date - the day I got it - and I didn't realize I was THAT close to...

    Windows 10 build 16273 discussion (Redstone 3, Fast)

    Here's what I want to know, and don't see in the blog post: Did they fix the problem that caused Visual Studio 2017 to literally not work at all in build 16257? After days of trying different workarounds, and suggestions from Visual Studio community, I ended up resetting 16257, reinstalling VS...

    The relationship between Silicon Valley, Microsoft, President Trump, and the ideology of hate

    I am deeply saddened to see Windows Central dipping into the nasty realm of politics that we have today. I am even more deeply saddened to see how biased its twist on current events is. As a white male, I do not align myself with neo-nazis, KKK, or whatever other white supremacy group is out...
