According to a recent Mac Rumours story, Apple are readying a consumer AR headset, which they hope will eventually phase out the iPhone in the next 10 years. The question that has to be asked, are Microsoft on the verge of losing the consumer AR race? Hololens has been around for years, but...

I think it's fair to say that a large number of enthusiasts would like to see Windows 11 on the Duo. And, why not? Windows 11 looks like a mobile operating system, with its centralised taskbar and clean, easy-to-navigate start menu. It's a lot more touch friendly and easier to use on a small...

It's things like this that make the idea of Windows 11 showing up on the Duo a non-starter. Mobile devices need excellent mapping apps, and the fact that Bing's own mobile app now opens as Google and...wtf... Apple maps is pretty poor.

It's being kept as a placeholder for when the Duo gets upgraded to Windows 11

I recently started using the Bing app on my android phone. Within the app is a feature called nearby. Essentially, it's a map showing local restaurants, shops, etc. It also has an option to get directions, and here's where it gets interesting... Hit the directions tab and you're taken to a...

Loving the W11 experience but can't figure out why Cortana is still there. It doesn't do anything useful...no note taking, reminder setting, looking up info, etc. If it's truly dead, and it is, then why have Microsoft kept it in W11?

There would be very little reason to buy a phone like the "Uni" and absolutely no reason Microsoft would ever make one. Microsoft will only run the phone race if they have a unique offering. A single screen, android phone is the opposite of unique. The hook that Microsoft is going for with...

Cortana has started popping up on my laptop screen. Not sure why...I haven't uttered the words "hey Cortana" since Microsoft decided relegate it to ****** status a year or so back. Since then, I moved over to Google's assistant. So, now that Cortana keeps wanting my attention, and the "hey...

"whining about".....you must be one of them trolls I've heard of

Something I've taken away from being stuck at home for weeks is a new found appreciation for just how bad skype has become. Call me late to the party, but last week I had my first zoom call. We had 4 people on the call, and I was expecting a horrible, broken up, laggy, audio/visual nightmare...

Hi naddy6969, how are you getting on with your new device?

Welcome :)

My Pro 4 died last week, and I opted to try out windows-on-arm and grab a Pro X (£899). It's only been 2 days, but I love it and can see that Microsoft are onto something with this. It looks and feels a lot better than the traditional Pro Tablets/ 2-in-1. Although it weighs the same than a Pro...

The leather-bound HP Folio was one of the nicest looking and unique laptops to have come out in the past 18 months, and PC World here in the UK is still selling them. I tested one out last week, and it's really awesome. I was surprised at how sleek and well built it is. The leather looks just...

Ok, panic over...
