    Will 4gb Surface Go be less future proof?

    IMO- "Future-proof" as a concept with Technology is idiotic. Nothing about tech is "Future-proof" Any computer 5 years or older is a dinosaur. I think 4GB of RAM is perfect for 75% or more of the population...

    Jason Ward uses Windows phone (for now) and asks why do you?

    I went from the Alcatel windows Phone to the LG V6. I can tell you right now, all those who say Android is more stable and less buggy than W10 Mobile, they have no idea what they are talking about. My LG is having App's crash on a daily basis. I sorely miss the flawless Cortana integration on...

    Why is there no Microsoft Surface trackpad?

    I honestly don't understand the question, why would there need to be a SURFACE TRACKPAD separate from the trackpad on the Surface keyboard? Imo, a trackpad is only useful for casual tasks, it's not a legitimate tool for extensive work. The arctouch mouse is perfect for extensive tasks What is...

    TV Tuner

    The most glaring issue with Xbox One OTA TV, stems from Microsoft going back on their promise to bring OTA TV DVR capabilities to XBox, they promised in 2015 only to put it on hold because as they say there wasn't a high enough demand. Imo, Microsoft has really missed the boat on this feature...

    Screen protector or not?

    I'll have to give it a try.. I bought one on Amazon and the screen protectoror was cut short, so it left an 1/8" on either side uncovered. It was quite annoying. I ended up sending it back.

    Surface Pro vs. Samsung Galaxy Book: Which should you buy?

    IMO, The fact that the Surface PRO has the kickstand makes it a better product. I don't think people realize how valuable it is until they try it out. I have a Surface 3 and I use it daily,, weather to watch a movie or to look at a recipe while cooking. I can't wait to upgrade to a SURFACE PRO...

    Roll call: Insiders raise your hands!

    I'm a tech enthusiast newb, only got into this when I purchased a Surface 3 in AUG of 2015. I converted to W10 from Android after I picked up a LUMIA 640 in November 2015 and liked the interface more than Android. I'm been running the release ring on it until I picked up the Alcatel Idol 4S...

    What issues have you run into with this phone so far?

    I fixed my Band 2 issues. This phone is terrific. I really love the size, it's a great upgrade over the L640. Again, my only wish is that they made the camera button a double press to engage, that way you aren't accidentally launching the camera when you don't want to. I hope this phone get's...

    What issues have you run into with this phone so far?

    Is anyone else having trouble Connecting their BAND 2 to the Alcatel Idol 4S? Mine was linked to my L640 and worked perfectly. However, It won't connect properly to the Alcatel. I removed the Band app and reinstalled, I even factory reset the band, to no avail. Has anyone else had this issue...

    [Real Users] My Alcatel Idol 4S Detailed Review

    My only complaint on the phone. ( I like the phone quite a bit) is the CAMERA BUTTON. It's very sensitive and launches quite frequently by accident. I probably have a dozen accidental launches a day. I would love to see them do a update that changes it's functionality to only egage on a...

    BItLocker locked after trying to update to Fast Ring!!

    The phone does NOT like to be Encrypted as well as being on the insider program. Just don't select the ENcrytion. I had to return my first phone after 1 day because of this. So now I'm not on the insider program at the moment nor do I have the encryption enabled. I don't understand why...
