I also use my Surface Pro 2017 in all the situations that I would use a traditional laptop. Probably 95% of the scenarios are the same. And my goodies don't get all warm and toasty like with a regular laptop.

Amazon or Google is not a great place to store quality photos if quality is your thing. Amazon and Google do not let you keep the original photo quality. All photos get "optimized" and compressed through their services. That is how they offer a lot of storage space. Not a big deal if all you...

So I just popped open my burgundy Surface Pen... Performance-wise, it's fantastic. Nicer than the pen that came with the Surface Pro 4. Performance of the new pen on the Surface Pro 2017 is fantastic. Missing the pocket clip though. Sidenote: the old pen performs better on the Surface Pro...

I tried to download the 8K video for the Angel Falls aerial through the 4K video downloader and the highest option is 4K 360 at 1.9 GB. I also see the video at 639 MB 4K 360. However, when I play back the video on YouTube, it shows an 8K option. Is the 8K video in YouTube showing up as 4K 360...

thanks so much! i'll check it out!

Since so many VR posts around the Internet are focused on Rift and Vive, it's hard to see how those articles apply to Windows Mixed Reality. Like how a game runs on WMR versus the others. So I thought people could help each other here. I just played Space Pirate Trainer on my Samsung HMD...

Did you follow the directions for the Windows Mixed Reality support? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/enthusiast-guide/windows-mixed-reality-minimum-pc-hardware-compatibility-guidelines Surface Book is incompatible. Surface Studio is compatible but headset must be...

Don't trust the Windows Mixed Reality PC Check app. I ran it on my desktop PC which has excellent stats (AMD Ryzen 1800X with AMD RX480 with 32 GB RAM DDR4 3600, etc. etc) and I get warning messages. But when I actually installed my Samsung HMD Odyssey, no error messages or warning messages at...

your knowledge is pretty ridiculous. you really do need to take a thermodynamics class. Okay, if you put a hot metal pot of boiling water in a cardboard box and leave the top of the box and the pot open. The cardboard box will get warm. That doesn't mean the proportion of heat that is...

I wish I could bring my DSLRs to sporting events. They're banned everywhere I've gone. My poor Canons. They do allow cameras with non-detachable lenses so that's why I have the Sony RX100-III. For a point and shoot, it's fantastic. And it can produce RAW images (though the RAW images are...

Yes. I am always wary of promised updates. When you buy something, buy it because it fits your needs now. Don't buy it with the expectation that it will be updated to fit your needs. If it doesn't fit your needs now, just wait until it does and then buy it. It's not something that just...

I emailed a couple Microsoft guys (Peter Bright at Arstechnica and the guy at AnandTech). They pretty much said the same thing. The new pen will perform better than the old pen in terms of latency after a firmware update (no timeframe for when that firmware will be released) on the Surface Pro...

I still don't have the new pen because it's not yet available in burgundy... :( If the original pen didn't bother you, might as well buy it again because it's much cheaper. The new pen is $99. And you have to get the new Surface Pro 2017 to take full advantage of it. With the SP4, latency...

Sorry for the late reply. Been really busy lately. This is the hex color I used for the burgundy. 642e31 RGB is 100, 46, 49 CMYK is 40, 81, 67, 47 The color may be too close to brown for some people. So in that case, just boost up the red. Red will add more punch to the color anyway.

wow, you need to talk to some engineers. I will have to brace you for the fact that they may laugh at you. the heat sink is not the external case. the heat sink is within the Surface Pro. It still comes out vents
