    Why not to buy a Surface! ...a little rant!

    Ok fair enough, however the way he says it makes it sound like an entirely different word.

    Why not to buy a Surface! ...a little rant!

    Apple Care is quite funny, because in the UK we get put through to American call centres - it's the way they string sentences together, it's unheard of over here. Words like "Ma'am" just aren't a part of the English vocabulary.

    Poll Thinktank - An idea for Surface, a challenge for Microsoft

    Maybe it's just me, but I like my gaming rig and I don't see the SP3s CPU being up to the task of running my games. With the current dock, you can basically replace all three devices if you wish, however this new dock would target the more enthusiastic, power hungry market and not deliver what...

    How to tell if fan is running

    There's a lot of information about defragging SSDs - you should leave the Windows default on. It will defrag your SSD from time to time, and the Windows team says this is a good thing, as SSDs do fragment and when they hit a certain limit they will cease to function correctly. Here's why I...

    Sorry - I don't. Perhaps someone else can help you out here.

    Does the SP3 cause eye strain?

    I'm not completely in tune with biology, but the strain is caused by the muscles around your eye when you're trying too hard to focus on something.

    Why Do Most Windows-Based PCs/Laptops/Ultrabooks Suck? Why Surface Exists:

    Yes, I know exactly what I want and need from a portable device - but still remain hopeful that new features will come into play and grab my attention.

    Surface Pro 3 Overheat Damage

    If you're playing any games, you will probably hear the fan. Gaming is some of the most intensive stuff you can ask your computer to do.

    Does the SP3 cause eye strain?

    I used to have a larger laptop. I find the SP3 to be a good size for portability without being cumbersome or difficult to manoeuvre. Sometimes I could use a larger screen, but then some things I do with it wouldn't work so well. Some things have to be compromised to make other things better...

    Touchpad lag on first touch. Can it be fixed?

    I think I know what you're talking about. When using the trackpad, the cursor doesn't move until you've moved your finger a certain distance. Until you've moved it a certain distance, nothing will register. After you've hit this threshold, the smallest movements are picked up just fine. I think...

    Why Do Most Windows-Based PCs/Laptops/Ultrabooks Suck? Why Surface Exists:

    I have to disagree with the love for the Macbook Air. If I was going to get a mac, it would be a pro model - the Air is immediately eliminated based on screen resolution, and I have no idea why so many people buy them other than they must think it's cool and don't really know what they need or...

    Sensitivity Problem with Adobe Illustrator CC

    I would suggest using the N-trig drivers from Windows update, the ones Microsoft has signed.

    New and improved Chinese Surface - day 1 buy

    I think it's a bit of a different Android, designed to look more like Windows. They straight-copied the Windows Mail app so it will be interesting to see how this goes with lawsuits, as I believe they plan to release this device in the US.

    Solved Ping stability online gaming

    Most PC games show your ping on the scoreboard. Not quite sure why console games don't do this - they tend to go with 4 bars indicating your ping, which could mean your ping is absolutely anything.

    New and improved Chinese Surface - day 1 buy

    Lol - jokes. Check this out. http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/9/7522259/remix-ultra-tablet-surface-clone Basically, some ex-Google people did a near enough straight copy of Surface hardware, using mostly older designs. Look at that keyboard connector.

    Age of Empires: Castle Siege

    I'm not familiar with these games. It sounds like potentially a simpler version of Civilization. Any similarities?

    How to view my notes on other devices.

    In my experience, Drawboard saves annotations without flattening them. It could just be that the other software you're using doesn't support the features that Drawboard does. I've been in lectures before where people have pointed out 'mistakes' in the lecture notes to the lecturer, as their...

    Just saw a clip of Elementary - thought that device looked familiar.
