https://youtu.be/jgN1vZuRG3I I love the Apple Pencil and was excited to use a Surface Pen, which gets a lot of love, with my new Surface Go. It’s not exactly what I was expecting, but that’s not to say it’s bad, it’s just…different. Check
The design of the Surface Go is currently my favorite part of the device. It’s not quite as nice as the iPad Pro, but it’s certainly a compelling product by any other measure, especially when you consider this is a $399 tablet (plus $129 for the keyboard). The
I've spent a couple days with the Surface Go, my first Surface device, and I, of course, have a few thoughts.
My first day with the brand new Microsoft Surface Go has been an interesting jump into a whole new world. I got this device because I wanted to see how it matches up with the iPad Pro in terms of productivity, as well as fun & games. My initial impressions
I’m going to spoil the question in the headline1 right up front: no, I don’t think the Surface Go is going to “kill” the iPad. Will it outsell the iPad? No. Will it be just as niche a product as the other Surface computers? Probably. Too often, people
There has been some worry in the Apple community about the future of Office on the Mac since Microsoft announced that Office 2011 will no longer work on High Sierra. I think David Sparks nails it though: I think a more likely explanation for the lack of support for Office
Apple gets a lot of heat for being bad at services, bad at AI, and bad at collecting user data. The common example that comes up as a company doing this right is Google who as we all know is collecting mad amounts of data about every one of us.
Microsoft had their Build Conference last week, which means we're officially in summer-tech-conference season! Microsoft wrapped up their show, where they presented where they think computers are going in the next 12 months, Google will have their I/O conference in a few weeks where they will do
Paul Thurrott completely misses on this one. [Tim Cook] “You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going be pleasing to the user.” Which explains why Mr. Cook’s Apple released its own 2-in-1 computer, the iPad Pro, just three years later. Well, that
I was helping my wife get going with her new (and first) Mac, and apparently Microsoft Office does not support third party fonts, like at all. No, I'm not joking, it's in their official documentation: Third-party fonts are not directly supported in Microsoft Office for Mac
David Sparks on a recent trip the Microsoft Store to try out the Surface Studio: In more traditional apps, like Microsoft Word, the touch interface was less useful and more wonky. Word is way more touch-friendly on iPad than the Surface Studio. Those two teams at Microsoft should have lunch
Apple and Microsoft both had PC events this week where they showed off the latest and greatest each company had to offer in terms of PC hardware in 2016. Microsoft got things rolling first with their Surface Studio, a 28 inch touch screen PC on a stand that lets you
Microsoft unveiled it's impressive Surface Studio today, and it looks like a very capable machine. It looks solid, and I've seen many people see this and say "this is the computer I've been waiting for!" I shared my thoughts on it earlier,
I'm still coming to terms with my feelings on the Microsoft Surface Studio. On the one hand it's a powerful touchscreen computer that elegantly converts to multiple form factors to facilitate many types of users. One the other hand it runs Windows and costs $2,999.
You might have been able to tell that I'm an Apple guy. I loved my Performa in 1994 and I love my iPhone in 20161. This of course means that I have a life long distaste for all things Microsoft. I had long debates with my friends on
