    Win 10 in Tablet mode is horrible

    I post here the thoughs i expressed on the windows insider forums. I completely agree with the OP and the others in this thread in saying that this will surely be a downgrade to tablet users. I actually installed the TP on my notebook(i3 3th gen 2,4 ghz,8gb of ram, ssd) and i find it slower in...

    Win 10 in Tablet mode is horrible

    as i said in the Insider forum(angelus_mortis), i wont install this on my upcoming windows tablet. I find the current tablet ui experience on windows 8.1 perfectly fine, while the one on windows 10 is unusable.

    Win 10 in Tablet mode is horrible

    i completely agree that we need a change- or to better say, they are doing the same mistake in the opposite direction. First the tabletize the desktop, now they desktopize the tablets. The 2 modes need strict distinctiveness.

    Does anyone owns an iconia tab 8w?

    I can get this tablet for 120€ and i was wondering if any of you had anything to share about it. Also, for work i need to install on the device a small Linux partition for network analysis and other stuff, and i wanted to know if any of you had tried that on the device. Also i would appreciate...

    The one thing they have yet to address: performance

    i'm fairly sure you don't understand how hybrid start/shutdown works. It kills everything up to the kernel, and only saves that. To make it simpler, think of it as going in hibernation just before the logon screen. Of course standard hibernation is way faster and resumes the system correctly.

    The one thing they have yet to address: performance

    i think you are misunderstanding the machines i'm referring to. Hybrid sleep is referred on a machine, z87, i5 4690k, 8g 2133 ram, wd caviar blue. And it's preferable to read a long defragmented file than a lot of smaller ones in any case- it's going to stress less the heads of the drive.

    The one thing they have yet to address: performance

    lol. First, not all people or clients can do that. Second, there is no point of explaining how hard does windows decide that it has to "load something" straight out of the boot sequence even after all services and startup programs are up. I have been installing windows since i was 12 years old...

    The one thing they have yet to address: performance

    points 1 and 2 are very fair. But for point 3, thrashing is happening constantly. On a laptop, it might be disastrous. And my main computer, fresh install- about 3 months, w8.1, still requires more than a 2 minutes on a mechanical drive to boot up from hybrid shutdown, because there is a...

    The one thing they have yet to address: performance

    ... even the heavy ubuntu can boot faster on a mechanical drive than windows 8.1 , and xubuntu boots up on my ssd in about 7 seconds, compared to the 25-30 required by a fresh w8.1 install /w10 install. And for the average user once installed it provides everything they might need- chrome...

    The one thing they have yet to address: performance

    you guys need to keep in mind the broad picture. People buy 240€ laptops. And it's very painful even with 8.1; they have all the necessary processing power(bay trail is quite impressive on that front) but the hds are very slow, and the constant grinding windows does is not helping the idea of...

    Windows 10 Transparent Tiles on Phones

    i honestly hope i can keep the current behaviour. going to be upset. I hate everything that is not black or text on my phone. it's just meaningless wasted battery.

    The one thing they have yet to address: performance

    I'm wondering if windows 10 will have reduced hard drive thrashing, faster update/boot/shutdown time, less memory and hd footprint and so on. It would be nice for a change to see a system drive going to sleep after 2 or 3 minutes of inactivity.
