My hybrid has a 3200x1800 resolution screen. Most desktop apps don't scale well at this resolution, but on the modern UI, the display is simply awesome. I use the desktop at 1920x1080 when I need to be productive. About 25% of the time, when I'm just chillin', I fold my machine to tablet...

I'm about 75% desktop - 25% metro. I've got a 2-in-1, Lenovo Yoga Pro 2.

I would say laptop, but I got a hybrid, the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, which kinda fits both. It's more laptop than tablet, but it's multi-modes all get plenty of usage. I have tried MANY device combinations. I think my current W8 hybrid/Android phone set up is just right for me. Other devices have...

Can anyone suggest any 3rd party modern UI apps for accessing OneDrive/SkyDrive. I login with a local account rather than a MS account, so I can't use the native SkyDrive modern UI app. I know this can be done in desktop mode. I'm specifically interested in a good modern UI app for this...

Does anyone know if there's a way to prevent the mail app from saving copies of sent mail? The SMTP server of my mail account (and several others) already saves sent messages in the sent folder. With the mail app also saving a copy, I end up w/duplicates for each message sent. Outlook has an...

Yes, thanks. I've done that, too. Works well. Sorry, I meant to edit my posts, not quote myself repeatedly. Edit: like this ;-)

Edit 2: can't download files w/woopiti, filebrick ftw

Edit: I found one: Woopiti

Does anyone know of a 3rd party app that can access Skydrive while logged in with a local account?

Can someone please explain the differences between using a local vs Live ID/Microsoft account to log into a W8.1 computer? Thank you.

Thank you :)

The device is an Acer Iconia Windows 8 tablet. I've downloaded and installed a couple of Acer firmware updates since purchase. I now plan to sell it, so I've selected the "Reset Your PC" option. Now the first screen when starting up displays the language, region, etc. selection lists like it...
