Microsoft announced its Hololens augmented reality goggles years ago, but we’ve never quite been told what Microsoft thinks it will be used for. Well, at the event today in NYC, Microsoft finally gave us an answer. Augmented reality and the Hololens kit will be a game-changer for buying furniture online.
Microsoft is doing a thing this morning! Specifically, at 10:00 AM Eastern, the company is hosting a big press conference in New York City, where we’re expecting to hear about new hardware, exciting developments in augmented reality, and probably some stuff about Windows as well. The event will be live-streamed starting at 10AM on Microsoft’s website, …
Microsoft on Sunday took to Instagram to post a teaser image of the Surface Book, saying that Surface is “your key to success.” The company didn’t say anything about the photo, but people soon noticed there was something odd with the picture. It didn’t show the same Surface Book hinge that Microsoft introduced on the first …
Microsoft surprised fans last year with a great MacBook Pro alternative, a high-end 2-in-1 Surface Book laptop that nobody saw coming. The Surface Book line joined the regular Surface models to better compete against Apple’ MacBooks and iPads. A report that flew under the radar last week claims that Microsoft is working on the next generation …

Microsoft just started selling the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 in stores. Both laptop/tablet 2-in-1s have generated plenty of interest but that doesn’t mean either device is perfect. In fact, there are at least a couple of issues affecting early buyers, including screen flickering and battery draining.
Right after Microsoft unveiled the Surface Book (a.k.a., the “ultimate laptop”), I wrote that I hope Apple copies the idea and creates a similar iPad/MacBook combo. I said that despite the fact that Apple has steadfastly insisted it will never merge iOS and OS X. In Apple’s view, there are specific purposes for the iPad …
Microsoft’s Surface Book is the company’s first high-end laptop, a promising machine that targets buyers who would usually spend lots of cash on a MacBook Pro. The device should offer users impressive build quality, up to twice the performance of a MacBook Pro (assuming a discrete GPU is on board), Windows 10 out of the …
When’s the last time you remember seeing a Windows PC maker post an official “How to switch from Mac” page on its website?
