    Do you think a larger version of Andromeda would sell better than a pocketable version?

    I think that either size (pocketable or tablet) would have a market, but a pocketable one would be more revolutionary. I completely agree with you that making Andromeda pocketable is the best aspect of it. By making it bigger it becomes a tablet/laptop hybrid instead of a phone/tablet hybrid...

    Dan. What about Andromeda Prototype devices?

    I'm right there with you. I need something tangible. The many Andromeda renders have been tying me over for the time being. October cannot come soon enough.

    Anyone Else Sad to See Groove Music Pass Go?

    I'm super sad about it. I used it daily on my work computer and my pixel phone. I feel like the recommendation section was spot on. I have been able to find really good stuff every week. Plus I just used my search credits to pay for it. overall it has cost me like $20 over 2 years. But then...

    Surface Book 2 Rumors?

    I really loved the original Surface Book, but I wasn't in the market yet for a new computer when it was released. I almost just bought one despite it being 2 years old. The surface laptop is nice, but just doesn't for the bill for me. Have you heard any rumors on when (or if) a Surface Book 2 is...

    Digitizer tablets for grad school

    I used a surface pro 3 i5 128 gb for my masters degree in aeronautical engineering. I used the surface pen for all my class notes. My main programs were solidworks, matlab, excel, word. That was all I took to school everyday and it was fantastic. So if you have the money, I'd just get the pro 3...

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I'll take the 950 XL, mostly to test if I like big phones.

    Surface Pro 4 type cover - Which color do you prefer?

    Hey. I'm a former Ute myself. I graduated in 2012. I'm also sporting the red type cover for my pro 3. Not so much because of the U of U, mostly because I like red in general.

    Lumia 950/950XL flagships design - like it or not?

    It's a common misconception that metal in phones make it hot. The main reason people believe this is that the metal feels hotter to the touch when compared to the plastic. However, since metal has a higher thermal conductivity than plastic, a metal phone would dissipate heat better. It would...

    Updated to Windows 10, Driver Issues

    All my problems were fixed by reinstalling Windows 10 while keeping my files intact. I did lose all my programs though. Most of my stuff is easily downloadable from the store so I'm not too worried. One perk is that it's almost like a clean install. It was all relatively quick as well.

    Just wanted to know if anyone else is encountering the problems in facing. I updated to Windows 10 and it updated quickly without any issues. The I noticed that Wifi wasn't working. It's the dang Marvell wireless adapter, it won't work. It's always been wonky. I went to device manager and tried...

    A little tidbit of news from the inside.

    I have a feeling that the phones coming out this fall are flagships and the ones coming out in February will be business-esque phones, aka not flagships. Unless the new Intel mobile processors are crazy awesome, I don't expect the Intel phones to be as good as one with a snapdragon. I hope to be...
