Microsoft Surface 3: Looking Good

The Microsoft Surface 3 is completely different than its predecessors. Say goodbye to RT. It’s more powerful, more full, and more of a laptop replacement than the Surface RT and Surface 2. Windows RT was a failure, we have to admit that right now. I have the first generation of Surface devices, and I still use my RT to this day. But I only use it when I want to show people that a device shouldn’t get that slow in a period of 3 years, even with reboots.

With this new Surface, we see a tablet that has the capabilities of a decent powered laptop that can run simple applications, perform word-processing, and run actual Windows, and it also has that nifty Surface Pen as well. And with Windows 10 on the way, people will obviously get the upgrade for free when it comes out.

The specs are better as well. Of course, you’d expect that out of a tablet that is meant to run full Windows software and register pen input along with a plethora of other tasks that the other low end Surfaces just simply couldn’t do.

Is this the tablet that we have been waiting for Microsoft to pump out for years? Absolutely. It’s actually been quite a while since a lower powered Surface has been released. The Surface 2 was released in October of 2013. That means that we have gone a full year without another Surface option.

Tablet sales are increasing, and PC sales are decreasing. It’s a known fact that’s been floating around since 2012. Microsoft is ready for the change, but it wants people to know that they don’t have to give up on what they love in a PC.

Microsoft’s Surface line of tablets has been the underdog since its debut. But deep down inside the tablet was a vision that Microsoft was unwilling to give up on. With the great success of Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3, the Surface 3 is building off of that success by going after those who cannot afford or do not need a device like the Pro. The market is there, and Microsoft is cracking it open.

It’s taken Microsoft a while to get it right, and that’s probably why they stepped back, and thought about the product that they were trying to create. The idea was there, but the product was not. Now it is. In the form of Surface 3.

Best Time

The best time to buy an Android phone is April The world of Android smartphones can often be chaotic and disorganized, but this year it seems to have settled on the month of April for the debut and availability of the widest range of attractive new devices. Six months after Google’s release of Android Marshmallow, all the hardware manufacturers are now ready to deliver a deluge of phones built around the latest version of the operating system. It’s already begun with handsets like the Xiaomi Mi 5 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Huawei’s P9 flagship and its dual-camera system are set to launch on April 6th, which is also when Meizu will unveil its M3 Note .

Firefox

Firefox For Android Passes 100 Million Downloads In The Google Play Store Google's mobile version of Chrome has become the de facto standard browser for Android, but never let it be said that it's the only option. Mozilla Firefox, which predates Chrome on both desktop platforms and Android , has been downloaded from the Play Store 100 million times. Mozilla decided to toast the occasion on its official blog . Aside from the obvious user interface differences, the Android version of Firefox has gradually added compelling features like integration with synced Mozilla services (which are a godsend if you use the desktop browser as your primary web interface), extra user-accessible tools like a fullscreen switch, customized search engines, and add-ons that expand the base app's functionality. Though detailed download information isn't posted to the Play Store, it's probably second only to Chrome (and the original AOSP browser in markets like Chi...
