hotsauce posted:My SP3 started developing yellow vertical bars along the edges of the screen. Took it to the Microsoft store and to my surprise the tech replaced it with a new one instantly. MS Stores have wonderful customer service. The stores are one area where MS took exactly the right lessons from Apple. A downside is that their inventory tends to have a lot of duds in it -- always insist on trying everything in-store; if anything has problems they will gladly keep bringing you new units until one works.

I literally have an i5 in my desktop computer and it runs modern games quite well; I can't imagine anyone would really need an i7 for a tablet/laptop.

Honestly if unlimited storage space and 10TB of storage space are not equivalent concepts to you and you are an individual person as opposed to a business, my hat is off to you and your truly impressive porn collection

Do Apple hardware threads constantly have people coming in to argue at length about how much better the Dell XPS or whatever is? Do people frequently post pagelong arguments in the headphones thread about how speakers are way better than headphones? What about the Fire TV thread, does it get Roku supremacists often?

I wasn't trying to be passive-aggressive, I was genuinely curious. I largely only post in MS threads in IYG, and this is a general trend in all of them ("<x competitor> is better" is pretty much the only conversation the WP thread in particular ever has), and I wanna know if other threads have to devote as much time and space to justifying their subject's existence.

The rumor mill had been going on that for a while, but it looks like it's officially announced now, yeah. Just got an email from the Microsoft Store about it. Form factor basically identical to SP3 (a bit smaller), ships with Cherry Trail, starts at $499.

They're definitely trying harder to improve the Surface line's utility as a tablet than its utility as an ultrabook.

So uhh does anyone else here use the ComiXology app? I just tried loading it up for the first time since upgrading to Win10, and I'm guessing the option to view your collection was a bottom-of-the-screen context-menu button on Win8, which unless I'm missing something is not really doable on Win10. I have no idea how to actually read my comics  e: right-click or Win+Z, I figured it out  Win10 doesn't bring up menus when you swipe from the bottom anymore (that is now reserved for the taskbar), but other methods of getting them still work apparently!

My company also gave me an MBP upon joining. I tried it for a month, but eventually convinced them to give me a really nice Inspiron instead. I get poo poo from the guys on my team for using Windows sometimes. This is the first place I've ever worked that was not 100% PC stack. It's so weird. (granted most of them just use their macbooks as a really nice frontend on top of a Unix shell, which makes some modicum of sense)

Happy_Misanthrope posted:They are absolutely right to do this All the open-source dev tools we use have Windows equivalents (there's even an SVN command-line client so I don't have to use TortoiseSVN  ) and it's worth putting up with a few barbs to use a computer I actually know how to use  Like, after I discovered MobaXterm and gleefully uninstalled PuTTY I had no regrets remaining whatsoever, other than the display being normal instead of friggin' gorgeous like the MBP's display is (also I misremembered and it's actually a Latitude, not an Inspiron)

Non-engineering people get a choice when they join. And the keyboard layout was one of the main things I couldn't get used to, which bootcamp wouldn't have helped with. Mecca-Benghazi posted:I love my SP3 and like Windows for personal use, but if everyone else is on a Mac, just use a Mac, don't add extra things that could go wrong. Eh we're a webdev company, all our poo poo is several layers of abstraction above the OS level anyway. I had to find a lovely third-party solution for web-debugging on iPad, but I refuse to think of that as anything other than Apple's fault
