Laptop Pick April 2017

One of the most asked questions is what kind of Laptop should I buy? I don't want to spend a lot of money but want a good quality product.

My answer is a little bias because I tend to be more brand supportive of the products that I like and use, I don't go low end just because of the price and I don't go high end just because the rapid change in technology. 

As of this article date this would be my choice for someone asking me to help them. My personal choice would not be the same, this is based on what will be a good choice for someone with a budget in mind.

Android or iPhone

Android vs iPhone?

Just want to take a poll on this one, comment on your choice. If you would like to share with others as to why that's up to you. 

Changing Cortana

Changing Cortana

If you have not used Cortana yet it's Microsoft's intelligent personal assistant for Windows 10, Cortana will help you find things on your PC, manage your calendar, track packages, find files, chat with you, and tell jokes. The more you use Cortana, the more personalized your experience will be. To get started, type a question in the search box on the taskbar. Or select the microphone icon and talk to Cortana. Typing works for all types of PCs, but you need a mic to use the voice command feature. Just a bit of advice if you have not worked with Cortana voice commands you will find things faster by typing in what you are looking for. By default Cortana sends you to Bing search engine, below is how you can change that. 

You can change Cortana with a Chrome Extension called  Chrometana - This will redirect the default search engine in Cortana to whatever you choose to use. It will not affect the performance of Cortana. This extension currently supports changing the default search to either Google, Yahoo or DuckDuckGo.

Free Antivirus Programs

Free Antivirus 

Without getting into which ones are worse or denying the necessity of anti-virus software in general for viruses, I am not going to rate them for the purpose of saving me time. The secondary purpose of any free antivirus program is to keep your computer clutter free from adware, popups, and keep it running smooth and fast. Most if not all Free AV software hit you with a constant barrage of auto-updates, mini scans, and popups for discounted offers to upgrade which in effect, slow your computer down more than anything. This only gets worse when trial offers expire and you now have pop ups and nothing protecting you. This scare tactic is what makes these companies money since the user will often panic and pay for an upgrade. Over the years I have tried almost all the top Free AV software programs and also some of the top Paid AV Programs that I hacked into with Keygens.

If you are firm on using a Free AV Program a lot has changed with the Windows 10 release, there are new AV programs out there to try and work arounds for those old ones that didn't keep up with Microsoft's release of Windows 10

I look forward to future reviews of Free AV running on Windows 10
