These Windows 8 Apps Help In Your Metro UI Transition

LOL!

It’s no surprise that Windows 8 is looking like a mobile platform mixed with a PC platform.

Some people might be confused with that design, because many people think that a fully –

developed OS and a mobile version don’t mix together. Each has its own strengths. But what

many don’t realize is that Windows 8 only mixed the strengths, giving you the best of both

worlds.

In Windows 8, you’re given the Metro UI, a place where you can instantly access apps that are

very useful, the same way you access apps on a tablet. Of course, if you don’t like that, you can

switch to the basic Windows desktop view, the one we’ve all grown to love.

Right now, Windows 8 looks like it needs serious firepower, so you need to sell your laptop

now!

Why sell your laptop immediately? Because you can experience Metro in an amazing way!

Here are some Metro Apps to get your attention.

Evernote

Evernote is a favorite of two of the biggest mobile platforms – iOS and Android. It also happens

to be a favorite among Windows Phone owners.

With Evernote, you can take notes and conveniently group them according to type, such as

groceries, homework and more to suit your needs. What’s cool about them is that you can assign

specific tags or keywords to notes to make searching more efficient.

You can also take pictures and videos to make sure you don’t forget about every important little

detail of your life.

Kayak

When going on a vacation, finding hotels can be a real drag. It takes a lot of time because you’re

searching for the right one with the right price at the right location.

Kayak helps you make your decision faster. Hotels are aggregated into thumbnails for easy

browsing. Just swipe around the list and tap the ones you’d like to review. There are plenty of

customer reviews about the hotels, and ratings are also given.

You’ll find that the information is very informative. Bing even provides you with directions, so

there’s no way you won’t find the hotel you’ve picked.

Lyrics

This app is pretty self – explanatory. The Lyrics app allows you to find the lyrics to your favorite

songs or to songs you’ve just recently listened to and then you can play the appropriate song

while reading the lyrics.

If you happen to have that particular song you’re going to find the lyrics for on your Windows 8

computer, then you can play them side by side in a very cool fashion.

What makes this impressive is the multitasking power of Windows 8, something that will come

in handy for other purposes too. You can even do this with the tablet version of Windows 8!

Conclusion

While these three apps are very basic, you’ll definitely find them to be very useful once the full

version of Windows 8 comes out. Right now, we’re still stuck with the preview version.

Judging from what we’ve seen, you should definitely sell your laptop to websites such as

Cashforlaptops.com and get a more powerful machine to take in Windows 8 effortlessly.
