I may as well post here, considering it's the same question. With the SP8 having been launched and whatever, and I've seen that the SP8 will be available with LTE, I sort of wonder what opinions there are between the two. Differences are bigger than most previous series, but I'm leaning towards...

TD:U 1 and 2 were genuinely thoroughly enjoyable games. They had their problems, but what it focused on, it did well. I'm glad that it's coming back.

MS failure with windows phone, I think received a lot of soul searching within MS. They as a company definitely drilled down to the core of why it failed. I strongly suspect it contributed to the adoption of chromium for edge and now, is governing their approach to any platform based products...

I'm not optimistic about their devices. The surface line got the benefit of a lot of inertia, but they're going into territory with the Duo that has been mired in consistent failures. For that reason, it looks like gauging interest with the reveal is probably demonstrating to them, that it...

The funny thing about the title for me is, it speaks volumes about the industry, how everyone is so used to underwhelming devices, that everyone is always waiting for the next model. The last flagship I paid full price for was a Lumia 920, bought it in January 2013. Ever since that phone, I...

I specifically mean being an early adopter in the sense that a lot of products are released unfinished, and especially, a lot of reviewers make very flippant remarks that software issues can be resolved with an update. Particularly with android phones, those updates usually rarely come, and more...

Like I understand that this stuff has a place, some people will buy it and be absolutely happy with it, after listening to some other reviews, it appears that the WoA Pro X can't currently do 64-bit emulation, so there are a few areas which some users won't be catered to, for now. Thing is...

Saw some rumours that apparently the duo will have a world class camera. Not sure what that means precisely, but good quality cameras are always interesting and piquing my interest somewhat.

I don't think that the duo will need to run UWP, it's just that apps need to be able to be compiled for both from the one code base. This is probably the direction UWP took, but I don't know, completely conjecturing here. Ultimately, we are in agreement that the app platforms need to feed into...

I think it's their plan to get apps on their systems by trying to be as platform agnostic as possible with their tools. That is to say, I get the feeling that the developer tools have to be code once and compile for all desired platforms. I just can't see any success with this strategy...

AOSP would essentially be starting almost from scratch again. They might as well just have a go with W10 again. The reason is, while there is the AOSP, google has gone to great lengths to make it fairly useless, so that the industry doesn't fracture its stranglehold on android. For instance...

I use solidworks regularly, and anything less than a display that can do 1080p at 100% scale is going to be cumbersome and lack area. Basically laptop displays are too small to allow all the menus to be readable while also having them minimal and take up little space on the screen. Something...

I'm not negating the fact that they're selling well. My whole point, as articulated at the very first post is that the surface line isn't "driving innovation" for the windows platform. Most people using a surface would just as readily be served with a laptop. Look at it as something akin to...

Sorry I wasn't clear, I checked it out and they have implemented touch support in the 2018 version, as well as pen support. I can't see it being really usable on anything other than the surface studio, which is what they used to demonstrate it. Makes me want a surface studio now... well more...

I wasn't aware solidworks added touch support. I'm not sure it will be used a lot or significantly developed further, maybe the pen support on a surface studio looks interesting, I can definitely see myself giving that a go, but not if I had to pay for it. If anything, the surface studio is a...
