It's basically the same as the i5 8GB version without the LTE, also, I agree it doesn't need a separate section. Plantje, I do have one if you have questions.

Yeah, using my phone to tether was working. But the LTE is very nice. My cell phone plan is unlimited, however, they throttle you down after 22GB per month. With a tether and cell phone use, I go through that every month. I can't deal with the slower speeds. The LTE portion has it's own...

They need the fanless i5 in order to have room for the LTE modem and hardware in the device. They use 99% of the device as it is, so adding LTE wasn't easy. I wanted an i7 LTE as well, but I do like the better battery life and fanless features of the i5. I guess it depends on what you are...

So they popped up on the Microsoft website. I talked to someone there, they are working on having them available for spring. But orders have been coming in. They are no longer available. I talked to CDW. And they are taking orders but they are not being filled yet. That’s fine with me. I...

Hence why I'm looking for LTE...

Unrelated, what software or apps to you use to pair your Android phone to your Surface devices? I have seen some programs that allow you to basically use your android phone on your WIN10 device. Do you use any of those? I have contacted CDW. Everywhere says "call for pricing". :(

I have been searching to replace my SP3 with the SP2017 with LTE. They were available for a few days and then removed from the website. One affiliate site says they will be ready for sale in Spring 2018? Anyone have any inside information as to when these LTE devices will come out?

I have contacted several places about a cracked screen. They all tell me the same thing. 1.) It's not worth fixing 2.) They cannot warranty any work 3.) Most likely, they will damage it while repairing 4.) It's probably cheaper/better to just buy a new one

So, the Fall Creators update was released like 2 weeks ago. I heard that newer machines would get the download first. I check for updates every day and the update is still not ready for me. Did you guys get the update automatically or did you have to manually update?

When purchasing a computer, I try to buy a computer that not just fits what I do now, but what I might be doing 5 years from now. Although the m3 might be fine for what you do now, as app get more complex, I would suggest getting the i5 so that you don’t have to upgrade 2 years from now and this...

Thank you for sharing this. I have not experienced. but I'm glad you found a solution.

Still shows as $199 on my end....

So far the information online shows that the new SP5 will in fact use the Kaby Lake Processors and it will retain the SP3/SP4 charger or dock plug. Thats good for me since I have a SP3 and a SP4 dock and a charger and a car charger. If it wasn't for the poor battery quality of the SP3, I would...

Do you ever have issues with the audio being off from the video. Mine never syncs properly. The audio is always like 3 seconds behind which is very annoying.

I have had a 4 monitor setup in the past. It was three external and then the Surface screen. This was accomplished by using the surface pro 3 dock. I used the: 1.) Surface Screen 2.) Minidisplay on the sp3 dock 3.) Minidisplay on the SP3 4.) USB to VGA cord. The above setup worked pretty...

the phantom touches is a hardware issue. software will not fix it.. it needs to be replaced.

yes, if you have phantom touches, the best way to work with your device without them is to disable the touchscreen using your post. however, disabling the touchscreen does eliminate of the main reasons why we use the surface, which is in a tablet and touchscreen mode. I'm sure many of use us...

Any updates on any of these issues? This thead was started three years ago and I still have issues with Bluetooth disconnecting and then reconnecting.

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I will have to test tomorrw and see if it's the dock or if i'm just connected to battery power if it happens. Anyone else have this issue? I wonder if a non-surface pro dock would then have the same issue....

So, randomly about every day, my computer goes through this disconnecting issue. Where, even during periods of activity it does this: 1.) Boom! Auto rotate on. 2.) Boom! Drive D and Drive G disconnected (I have a HD plugged into the back behind the kickstand and a USB drive attached to the...
