The Armor 3 comes either as entirely black or black with orange highlights, so you can always plump for the latter if you prefer a more sporty appearance for your phone.

There are some issues that the Surface Book 2 may never resolve, namely around how well Apple has pulled off integrating its various devices. I miss being able to answer phone calls to my iPhone and respond to text messages from my computer. It sounds like a small niggle, but I also use Ecamm’s Call Recorder to record important calls through FaceTime on my Mac, so I also lost that benefit. Microsoft unveiled a solution at the Build conference last month called “Your Phone” that could provide an answer, mirroring the smartphone onto the computer screen. The software will offer seamless integration with Android, but iOS’ closed-off approach to the world means it may never offer the same level of support to iPhone users.

“As you look at needs of consumers and warehouses, many are similar,” Boatner says. “Better speed, better and richer and more intuitive interfaces, IP-68 and ruggedness. A lot of those goals are common.”

Maybe we’ve been using too many high-powered phones recently, but the P8 did feel generally unresponsive in our hands, and rather like the CPU was working on some heavy background task, permanently.

But now that the U.S. has been in Afghanistan for 17 years, what should we do? I am willing to go with Trump on Syria and Afghanistan, but as a Vietnam veteran, my personal experiences give me some sympathy with the concerns of General Mattis. We should not make withdrawal a total abandonment of allies—like the Kurds in Syria and the tribes of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan—as the U.S. Congress did the South Vietnamese and Cambodians in 1975. We should not keep troops there, but we must be demonstratively committed to aid them, if future circumstances warrant.

Over the years, Microsoft’s Surface line has inspired a host of imitators in the convertible 2-in-1 market. Indeed, Surfaces have defined what makes for a visually—and functionally—exceptional laptop/tablet detachable. Microsoft is now taking the Surface concept smaller with the Surface Go, a 10-inch Windows tablet that’s a shrunken-down version of the Surface Pro. Most of what’s familiar about the Pro is here (its design cues, sharp touch display, and built-in kickstand), just with more modest internal components. Though performance isn’t particularly speedy, the Surface Go (starts at $399; $549 as tested) is a great mobile companion for less-demanding work, a natural fit for travelers, and an inexpensive option for classrooms.

It’s not too hard to adjust my workflow so that I can use the apps that are available. But if my only PC were a Windows 10 S machine I wouldn’t be able to use my accounting software, do any podcast or video editing, or complex image editing (unless I learned to use something other than GIMP, which I’m too lazy to do at the moment).

Retailers rely on technology to deliver fast service, accurate inventories, quick payment, and other services. Devices such as mobile computers and wireless scanners are crucial to delivering these benefits to the enterprise and customers. These devices require regular charging to ensure consistent operation. With thousands of devices deployed throughout the enterprise, retailers face logistical and tactical challenges to ensure devices are charged. Each device may require a charging adapter and cable creating a mountain of equipment to manage, maintain, and store. Plugging and unplugging charging cables wears contacts, connector, and cables. Contacts on mobile devices are a source of failure and generate one of the highest causes for downtime and repair.

It is a bit of a shame that the Surface Go doesn’t come with a keyboard in the box. This, alas, is usual practice for the Surface tablets. I understand it would drive the price up, but in this particular case, the device becomes much more useful with one. At this size, propping up the Surface Go on a desk in laptop mode without a keyboard isn’t the most useful layout. The Surface Go has its uses in tablet mode, and the default consumer OS (Windows 10 S) is built for poking and tapping. But not having the ability to type or use a touchpad to navigate Windows is not ideal.

I dont agree with him, but lets not pretend like these are flagship specs. The pricing seems reasonable when you consider how rare such a device is. Market demand vs supply will drive the settling price point. I think they’re dipping their toes in at the right number to try and be profitable enough to grow from this product.
