    Noisy processor!

    No noise complaints with my Surface Pro 2, still going strong.

    What are you doing without USB-C?

    Re: What are you doing without usb-C? I'm simply not going to purchase it without a Thunderbolt 3 USB Type C port. It's so not worth the upgrade to my Surface Pro 2 without that.

    Bluetooth-Equipped Wacom Pen for Surface Pro 1/2

    Does anyone know of a Bluetooth-enabled Wacom pen that's compatible with the Surface Pro 1 or 2, allowing them to take advantage of the pen shortcuts in Windows 10? One with a Bluetooth-enabled tail eraser (similar to the Surface Pro 4's), and side buttons would be very appreciated. I used to...

    Comparison of Surface Pro i7 with iPad pro A9X

    The i3 Surface Pro 3 was already performing better than it in benchmarks ( http://sck.pm/xwl ). Was kinda surprised that they indirectly stated it's not...maybe they're measuring something else.

    Are you buying the new Surface Pro or what?

    Hell no. Highly disappointed that they simply couldn't replace that Mini DisplayPort with a Thunderbolt 3 port. Mini DisplayPort never got anywhere near the adoption of HDMI nor VGA, it's just-as common as USB Type C is at this moment (if not worse). It's not like they have to replace the...

    How does one use the Surface Pen on the Surface Laptop?

    HP (Elite X2), DELL (Latitude 7275 2-in-1), and many other OEMs already have devices with Thunderbolt 3. Just 'cause not everyone knows of the benefit isn't an excuse for it to be missing in a device priced this high in 2017...

    Will Windows 10 S help Microsoft beat Chromebooks?

    Windows 10 S still has the same major flaw of full Windows 10 compared to Chromebooks; still need to restart to install system updates, thus still need some IT department monitoring them in order to ensure they're up to date and won't be delaying anyone when they're needed most. Chromebooks...

    How does one use the Surface Pen on the Surface Laptop?

    Yeah, it's lacking so much and is already outdated in 2017... http://forums.windowscentral.com/surface-laptop/457703-surface-laptop-first-overpriced-device-surface-branding.html#post3659719

    How does one use the Surface Pen on the Surface Laptop?

    The Surface Laptop does NOT come with a pen: Only sensor you're getting is a light sensor: Again, if you're thinking of buying the Surface Laptop, simply go for the Surface Pro 4 and grab yourself this keyboard attachment that makes it appear and function like a traditional Laptop. The...

    How does one use the Surface Pen on the Surface Laptop?

    This Surface Laptop is the first Surface-branded device on which the pen and touch experience is nothing but a half-assed gimmick, as it can't be converted to a Tablet form-factor to make full and continuous use of them. When you try using it for a continuous pen and touch experience, a...

    Sooooo, are you going to buy the Surface Laptop or what?

    I've never had to replace ANY of my Laptop's power bricks due to damage 'caused by me. Not for my 2008 HP Pavilion Laptop, not my 2014 Surface Pro 2 either (albeit, did do exchange for the plug due to Microsoft recall). Neither have any of my friends needed to do that with their Surface Pro 2/4...

    Windows 10S availability on existing devices

    That's literally what the following option built into the creators update does: Simply select it using an admin account on your kids' Laptops, and setup a standard user account for your kids on their Laptop. Done, no need to permanently restrict yourself.

    Can Win32 Apps Ported to the Windows Store Still Connect to and Manage External USB Peripherals?

    Given how UWP apps are sandboxed, is it even possible for a Win32 application like say iTunes to be ported over to the Windows Store? Can UWP apps provide system-integrated drivers and services like Win32 apps? Can they connect to and manage external USB peripherals like an iOS device in this...
