 Microsoft - Windows 8.1 - Physical - English
Microsoft - Windows 8.1 - Physical - English
It's the twenty-first century: multitasking is a way of life. Cell phones, laptops and tablets and their ever-expanding networks, apps and programs make it so we can almost always be doing at least two things at once. You send an e-mail while you're out to lunch. You call your clients while you're finishing up that presentation. You send your brother a birthday e-card while you're walking to your next appointment. Technology allows us to stay connected to the people and things we care about. It also creates a world where work and play are constantly overlapping — where creativity, productivity and recreation often go hand-in-hand. With that in mind, Windows 8.1 has been designed to bring you one operating system that can handle all of life's demands — no matter what it throws at you. Whether you're at work, at play or just looking for some inspiration, Windows 8.1 is there to deliver. Windows 8.1 personalizes your experience so can work and play in a way that allows you to access what truly matters to you. Beginning at your Start screen, you see a new layout that features your favorite news, friends, social networks and apps. You can customize colors, backgrounds and tile sizes to make your device unique to you. You can even access your familiar Windows desktop with just one click, so all the features you love are never far away. All your old apps, files and settings easily transfer and run on Windows 8.1. Your productivity will reach new heights thanks to Windows 8.1's ability to work harmoniously with your devices, whether they are touch screen or mouse-and-keyboard. You can stay connected to important photos and files by accessing them on your phone, tablet or PC with SkyDrive. Just sign in to your Microsoft account and your desktop will appear with all your personal preferences and settings so you can keep working wherever you are. In addition to the enhanced built-in apps and features, you can also discover more of your favorite apps with access to the Windows Store, which puts Netflix, ESPN, Skype, Halo: Spartan Assault, and other features conveniently at your fingertips. The new Windows 8.1 also makes searching, browsing and sharing faster and safer than ever. Use your device's power more efficiently for quick start-ups and app-switching as you stay up to date with security features, including Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and Windows Update. Life won't wait, so why should you? Access what is important to you — your way — so you get the best of work and play with Windows 8.1.

This is the official Windows 8.1 Install Disk and comes free from bloatware and most hardware drivers already on the disk. Free upgrade to Windows 10 when it is released. The .1 upgrade to Windows 8 does allow you to get back to the normal Windows user interface instead of the pictures interface.

This keyboard and mouse does what it is suppose to do but is very light and slides around. Battery life seems great, but you need to keep the USB dongle almost within line of sight of the keyboard, or it will miss keys.

The fan is very flexible in that you can use the MB for fan power and speed or any disk drive power connector and select the speed you need from a little switch. Quiet, easily powered, and flexible, what more could you ask for?

Easy to install and with standard SSD tweaks to the OS the systems are really faster than the new systems. Upgrade RAM and Drive to a SSD and you can usually out perform even the top end systems.

I had an extra 3.5" drive from some upgrades I had done and needed an enclosure to use the drive for portable applications. This fit the bill perfectly, easy to assemble, and strong.

What's great about it: Allows me to return Cable Company set top boxes
What's not so great: None
User interface looks almost identical to a Tivo DVR making it easy for any Tivo to use the Mini without any retraining. You can then return all Cable Company rental set-top boxes. Can pay for itself in about a year now that Tivo dropped the extra $100 lifetime user fee.

I have been a Tivo user for years and have been through several generations of Tivos and this is the best by far. Extensions like streambaby and pyTivo work without re-buffering pauses and my server can feed it 15Mbps without the Tivo having any issues. This is the best leap in features of any other generational upgrade. I added Tivo Mini's to every TV and saving $$ by not having any cable rental fees.

This tablet is fast. It beats my i7 Laptop for browsing and is so thin I just slip it on my leather folder instead of having a dedicated case. I have found long WiFi range and longer battery life than my iPad Air 1. Highly recommended.

Does it have a CD or DVD player?

No, just plug in a portable DVD device in the USB 3 port.

Why does my Surface Pro 4 lock up and just show a black screen after the logo goes away?

I have found this problem, and several more, e.g. slow, related to Microsoft updates starting to download or install while trying to use any Windows 10 wireless device. I changed Settings -> Updates -> to "Notify to schedule restart" and checked "defer updates" and all problems disappear. The screen going black is usually tied to updates that that have to be being installed during startup. Just be sure to check for updates every few days.

Would this be useful for a teacher/coach?

Absolutely. It fulfills all the requirements of a desktop when the keyboard is added.

Comcast connectivity

I want to replace my 2 rented Comcast devises will the TiVo roamio plus dvr work on 2 tv's in different rooms?
Also does it take a Comcast smart/descramble card that I have to pay Comcast for in order for the TiVo to be activated and work?
I just bought a Tivo Roamio with 2 Tivo Minis and I now no longer have any Comcast equipment, except a cable card in the DVR. This setup gives us far more features and saves money. Tivo Minis will pay for themselves in about a year in saving over Comcast Set-top box fees. The Tivo itself will take about three years over Comcast DVR fees.
