Interesting. I thought for sure I would get at least one response. From what I have gathered so far, there are no "specific" privacy screens designed for this device yet. The challenge I am finding with the generic ones is that most are 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios. So on the SLS, it is much taller...

Anyone found a privacy screen that works with the new Surface Laptop Studio (SLS)? Thanks!

Hey Dan...or anyone. What are the top tweaks, utilities, apps, browser extensions, etc that you install on a new PC? I don't have too many myself, but wondering what I am missing or should consider. For me, off the top of my head: WinRAR, eWallet, Lastpass extension, Paint.NET, Steam, and...

Re: Is it bad that many people "hate" Microsoft, or is it OK because they still make money? Personally, I think much of the hate is legacy hate. I still (believe it or not) see people type out their name as Micro$osft with the dollar symbol. As if no other companies (Apple, Google, Amazon, etc)...

My Go (bottom left) next to my Book setup. The perspective makes it look larger than it is.

I just got my "Go" and so far, like it quite a bit as a companion device to my Surface Book. I also have an iPhone and an iPad. On my iPad, 10.5", all I really do is web, email/calendar/contacts, read books, watch movies, and very occasional light gaming. (my iPhone is my "app" device, with...

I too was concerned about reading on the Surface Go. I found a solution that "might" work for me. I read my books on Kindle. As there is no app for Kindle and Windows 10 S, I found that Amazon has a Web "app". Goto: read dot amazon dot com. Sign in. I can now see all my Kindle book and I can...

I too loved Windows Phone, but there is ZERO tangible reason to invest in it right now. Would l love a newly released Windows device that ran "full" Windows 10 and had cellular capability, HECK YEAH! But I would still be cautious if/when it is released due to the past (lack of) commitment. But...

I am not entirely sure Dan answers any of these 'Ask Dan' posts. I have the new Surface Pro 2017. I have two external monitors connected, with the SP in the middle. I am using the Surface Dock, with two (active) Mini Display Port to HDMI adapters, connected to my two monitors. Works great!

Hey all, wanted to share my experience as some of you might be of similar mindsets. Let me know your thoughts or questions. I am a technology person and a gadget freak. I have primarily had Windows devices, but have played with Linux in the past, and own an iPhone and iPad. Relevant to this...

I am pretty sure it is the ads. They seem to load VERY slow. The site or page (I am on) will just hang, and my clicks don't register. Then I will see an add frame fill in on the side...or ad ad will refresh, and then the page or click will respond. Not sure why ads would affect your side so...

Dan and members, Do you like to skin or theme the look and feel of your Windows experience? If so, what do you use? I don't think skinning or theming is as popular as it once was, but curious if you (or members) are still doing this. I have tried a variety of options listed below, but also...

Dan, I like coming here for Windows news, but (for me) windowscentral is THE slowest site I have ever visited. This is on my i7, 16GB Surface Book with 100GB down home internet. Any idea why? Is it all the ads? Almost painful enough to just close the browser tab sometimes. Thanks.

Agree with others on commitment from Microsoft, AND hardware partners. For me, this commitment would be 1) to come out with "phone sized" form factors that can run Windows 10, AND have cellular capability, and 2) to at least try to solve the app issue. Full Windows 10 on a small platform will...

I returned after 2 days. The fan noise is unacceptable to me. I did try the updated BIOS, with Quiet Mode, and the other Lenovo forum posted fixes. Just crazy loud. Too bad....it is a beautiful device!
