Microsoft Surface 3

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.

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...

Nexus

Huawei and Google reportedly releasing a Nexus phone this fall This year, we may see a first for Google’s line of Nexus Android phones: a Chinese manufacturer. The Information reports that Huawei is in line to produce the device, which is said to be planned for fall. It’s not the first we’ve heard of the possibility; IBT said last month that the Huawei Nexus phone was coming, citing an employee at the company’s UK branch, while Android Police published a tentative rumor in May suggesting that there would be two Nexus phones this year — a 5.7-inch Huawei device and a 5.2-inch phone from LG. The relationship between Google and Huawei could be mutually beneficial beyond the phone’s co-development. The Information claims that talks are in progress for Huawei to help Google bring a mobile app store to China, where government regulations have restricted the search giant from conducting much business of note. HUAWEI COULD HEL...

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
