I was thinking again today about a Surface 3 for my wife but still couldn't bring myself to buy one. Basically we were running out of room but I got her onto Mail and downsized her Outlook files. 32G isn't a lot and much of it is used with system files and programs. It seems an insult these...

You can't have a fan less design or make it smaller unless you want to go Core M so I don't agree with these rumours, as I think they want it to enhance performance in the next version. I do want to see a core M though in their lineup but it would be a separate model. I like my i7 and would be...

We're probably expecting the impossible. The Core M is a totally different chipset that would require other design changes. It might not easily fit into the design for the Pro 3/4 or the Surface 3. It is a nice thought though and this is the approach that Apple took with the MacBook...

There are way too many compromises with the surface 3. If it had the Core M in it and PCI-e solid state storage, it would be interesting and a powerhouse in an ultra portable form. It is what it is though and was in the Surface 2, something classy, ultraportable but for light duties only.

I'm still thinking about my issue. It is minor enough I might think about it right up until I sell it one day! On the other hand I may cave in next week and send it in for replacement. We'll see. Microsoft are pretty good about fixing their devices. I have confidence although it is a shame...

We have no Microsoft Store here in Perth. I got the RMA and everything to return it because of the yellow stripe but I use it that much in my work, I can't afford to be without it. It means no customer written notes and I would have to buy a subscription of MYOB in order to get the latest exe...

I can see it on mine now. It is only visible on pure white background. My wife says it isn't worth returning. I'm thinking.

It will be interesting to see what they manage to improve on. I'm happy enough with mine I can't see me upgrading this cycle.

My wife will be disappointed if support is dropped for this tablet. It is a great tablet. I have the Pro 3 but I still appreciate the Surface 2.

My 1520 is in getting fixed. I love it but it has always been an issue getting a belt case and I've gone through about four of them. The latest one is very bulky but at least doesn't fall apart. I bought a Nokia 735 while I wait and I have to say I love it. The AMOLED screen is actually better...

Lumia 735 SP3 IPad Air 2 All are number one

Well, that was one of the main improvements for me but way faster graphics and CPU, lighter and thinner, better camera had an allure too! It is a brilliant tablet which is what it is designed to be rather than trying to be a desktop as well like the SP3 which is too cumbersome as a tablet.

I'm not saying that the MBA will be my next laptop. It won't be. I also think you can go too far with miniaturisation. I don't like non-standard ports. Eventually USB-C may become a standard but it will be a while yet. If they go too thin then they would have to use a Broadwell M with much lower...

The next MacBook Air has evidently been on an extreme wait loss diet. Mind you the form factor is limited by having to get rid of 15W of heat.

Well, definitely subjective. Anyone with an Air will notice this hollow sound when they tap the screen. It sounds cheap and they fixed that which was another reason I upgraded. It will be interesting to see what they put in the SP4 but we have another five months to wait before they even...

I've lost interest in Broadwell products. It seems each new iteration brings less to the table. It is a good thing too maybe as replacing products each year is good for manufacturers but bad for consumers. I think the technology is plateauing. It will be interesting to see though what...

Looking at the broad well U chips it doesn't look very exciting. Yawn

Here in Australia I use a program called MYOB for my business. Several years ago they redesigned it to use SQL Server and .NET. It is a remarkably slow clunky program, so much so I need an i7 to make it run at reasonable speed. It takes skill to write programs well and they dropped the ball on...

The SP4 will always be a powerhouse in a slim form factor so I don't see fanless Broadwell in this line. I do however see maybe a smaller model with Broadwell M and fanless, thinner with a smaller screen. It will probably replace the Surface 2 which seems to be facing an uncertain future as far...

Yes, talk is cheap but gadgets aren't. You are experiencing true love there.
