My son's Razer 2 has been having charging issues, and it finally started messing up hard, even on Qi. I decided that I would file a claim for his phone and then maybe upgrade later. To my shock, Asurion decided for the $200 deductible, he qualified for a Surface Duo 128GB! I let him know that...

I sure hope this happens sooner than later. I was on the Insider build that unlocked this and it was great, but I had to go back to stock Windows because of MSFS (it just would not install on Insider builds at all).

The Amazfit Bip is a great "starter" smartwatch... and I'm not being rude about that tag. With a little searching and adding one app to your phone, you can get a watch that gets you all your fitness tracking, notifications, and DAYS (yes, days) of battery for cheap. Since I'm not going to move...

There's plenty available as third-party/OEM models on your parts site of choice (Monoprice, Amazon, etc.). Basic rule of thumb: If it says it works for Nintendo Switch with power, it has pass through.

I can't use my Vive with my Surface Book 2 either. I know for Steam, it expects the Nvidia/AMD GPU to be the primary one. I would assume that Oculus does the same thing, but I'm not sure if this is by design (like Valve did). Spec wise, it's not an issue. I remember years ago running into...

I've been having those issues, but I'm on Insider Fast Ring....

I haven't seen anything commercially available, so I'm going cheap and using a holder that holds plates in a cabinet. $3 and it folds up in half, slides right in my bag. Not elegant, but it works for me.

I decided to go with the Corsair Dark Core after playing with the Surface Mouse in BBY. It felt a bit too soft in the quality department. I know the Corsair Dark Core is a gaming mouse, but it works via BT/2.4 Wireless dongle/USB, and it charges via USB and Qi. I have used my Samsung S10 to put...

You are correct. As part of the installation, you can select the drive/partitions. When you install Windows from scratch, just select "Let Windows partition the drive" or whichever one sounds like that (I can never remember the exact wording). The installer will partition the drive correctly for...

The viewing angle is wider on the SB 2, but it can have some banding at certain angles. I've noticed that the location of the back-lighting on this makes me position the top a little different.

A "<Program Name> is not responding" error is so generic that you have to have more details. Best things to start with are: What background programs are running? What are your specs? What were you trying to do when this popped up?

I just got the i5 13" Surface Book 2.... been using it at Salt Lake Gaming Con for the last three days. I was getting about 6 hours on MTG Arena for a tourney. Tried it with the Xbox Adaptive Controller in BT mode and was able to play FH4 for about 2 hours straight at 50% brightness. It's not a...

Yep. I don't trust any Xbox unless it's flat. Point blank.

I like the idea of MS building off of Chromium. Good engine, plenty of companies working on it, full support for FIDO/FIDO2 2FA... and I'm sure MS will put their own spin on it that works well for Windows users. Also, it will make things easier for watching on Mixer. :winktongue:

That particular app says that it is only available on Xbox One and Surface HUB, not Windows 10. Sorry, no joy. Took a snippet to show you. The Available On section has messed me up many times with Xbox One apps.
