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.

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of 10 free call apps to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6

HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6 (Video) They’ve got almost nothing in common besides their aluminum casings – and that shouldn’t come as too big a surprise. The iPhone 6 is Apple’s crown jewel, a curved and super-thin ingot packing technologies cherry-picked by Apple to run its closed and meticulously managed iOS platform. By contrast, HTC’s One M9 is a thick block of precision-machined metals, its sharp angles exaggerated by a dual-anodization manufacturing process, its software a heavily customized version of the much more mutable Android Lollipop. There’s so much more to say – but it’s all been said; to get the full picture of each of these handsets you’ve got to check out the full reviews. We called the iPhone 6 “excellence exemplified” despite its aesthetic devolution from previous models, and we criticized HTC for too little evolution in its product since last year’s outstanding One M8. Check those out to get the lay of th...
