    No Go

    My wife hasn't owned a PC device in the past decade, but she *really* wants a Surface Go after checking out my Pro a couple of times. She loves my Pro, but likes the size of the Go. I think they have hit a niche market that will be successful.

    Cobalt color pen or silver for use with the cobalt alcantara keyboard?

    This one might be close, but it is hard to tell from a photo.

    Cobalt color pen or silver for use with the cobalt alcantara keyboard?

    I like the idea of the black pen as well. I think it would blend in well with the bezel when attached to the side, and would go equally well with either the cobalt or burgundy keyboard, should you decide to swap up colors down the road.

    Cobalt color pen or silver for use with the cobalt alcantara keyboard?

    I have the silver pen and I like how it’s very low key attached to the screen when the machine is open, but I haven’t seen the cobalt to compare it with

    Are you buying the new Surface Pro or what?

    IF greed where truly the motivation, why not follow Apple completely? include only USB-C and sell a boat load of dongles and cables now. That is where the money currently is. Not that I believe greed was ever Apples motive either. Apple simply decides Apple is going to do what Apple is...

    What are you doing without USB-C?

    The funny thing is that the one USB-C device I own, an SSD, shipped with a USB-C to USB type A cable. I had to purchase a USB-C cable separately, in order to use it with my MBP USB-C ports sans dongle. There is a commitment from Samsung. Yeah, we really aren't so sold on rapid adoption of...

    What are you doing without USB-C?

    So, in short I will have to mess around with Dongles for my 2016 MBP, which only has USB-C ports, for 1-2 years, followed by having to mess around with dongles for my new Surface Pro, which does not have USB-C for 1-2 years. Meh.

    Quality Control issue with Surface Laptop

    Zonda, hi. I purchased a Surface Pro, because I frequently need a tablet and need to be able to work long hours on battery and often in tablet mode, but my wife is looking at the Surface Laptop and absolutely loves the looks of them :) I have had that dust issue with brand new macs as well...

    Some "Backlight Bleed" issues actually a result of display stresses?

    Absolutely. I got the feeling from the way the store manager was checking the edges, and seemed aware of other occurrences, that it wasn’t the first time they had seen or heard of the issue. Even if it *is* a rare one. They took care of it quickly and I was more than satisfied with the...

    Quality Control issue with Surface Laptop

    Probably not the answer you want to hear, but I have seen similar complaints with other brands as well. My own opinion is that we live in a world made of dirt and water and a little dust is bound for happen from time to time. If it wipes away with no harm, then no foul. Enjoy your fantastic...

    Some "Backlight Bleed" issues actually a result of display stresses?

    After an incident that occurred today, I wonder if some of the "Backlight Bleed" issues aren't necessarily backlight and if improper stress on the display, possibly from misfitting, are to blame for at least some of the cases? Backstory: I recently exchanged my 2017 Surface Pro i7/8/256 model...

    Secret Cortana commands

    Maybe? I am not sure why that would be though. Jen Taylor is the voice actress who voices Cortana in the Halo movies and for the digital assistant, so the answer would make sense regardless of region? But I have no idea, I get the response on both my Surface Pro and iPhone using Cortana, but...

    Secret Cortana commands

    Ask Cortana "Who does your voice" and it will reveal the name of the actress who voices her.
