This is kind of the conclusion I came to even without any hands-on time. The Book is a fairly big laptop once you've become used to the svelte Surface Pro. With the new Type Cover now as good as most laptop keyboards there is even less reason to go back to a laptop form-factor

ugh that sucks so bad. I expected there to be problems but the number and severity right out of the box is quite astonishing. Hope you can give them a few weeks to try and sort things out. On the other had there are still bugs that exist from the SP1 days...

Yes, it's still there, although it's been slimmed down a bit, I presume so that it doesn't interfere with the larger screen on the SP4. It may be slightly weaker than my older cover, and it definitely can't be put into that position when in the dock.

Was there a system update available for you today? It was delivered to me this morning on Win 10. Fingerprint reader was not recognized before installing that update as it contains new drivers for this cover including the fingerprint reader.

Today's Windows update included drivers for the new cover including the fingerprint scanner specifically. There was no fingerprint scanner listed for me in Win 10 until I updated. Is that update available to you on 8.1?

I don't generally have sleep issues as severe as that on my SP3, but it does happen from time to time, and just in general, the sleep power consumption is just much higher on the Surface than it is on my MacBook. It's one of the prime things that prevents this from really becoming my 'go-to'...

What sort of troubleshooting have you done? Have you tried doing a reset of Windows?

I consider this to be a pretty minor issue, but then I rarely use the type cover when docked anyhow. This type cover is improved by SO much over the old one that even using it flat is perfectly acceptable to me.

I'm hoping that the keyboard and trackpad are massively improved - they are my main complaint on the SP3. I do wish that Microsoft had gotten around to implementing a click-less trackpad like the new Macbooks have. It's really hard to go back to the hinged style once you are used to being able...

10.18.15.4256 although I haven't had any version that has been problematic.

i5/8GB. SST is set to 'secondary' although I don't think that matters. This display uses MST for daisy-chaining not driving the main panel.

basically the same as in your link. download the intel driver, install and set a custom resolution. Installing the latest Intel HD Graphics Driver on Microsoft Surface Pro, Pro 2 and Pro 3 - lifeisabug.com

I have the i5. I did exactly the same thing I did to get it working on 8.1.

I have the p2715q working at 50hz in Windows 10...??

Bumping this thread, as after nearly a year of use, I'm just noticing this now. Obviously it's not a major problem, but I can't believe how slow the charging in the docking station is and I was wondering if something was wrong. It takes nearly 5 hours to charge from a near-dead battery!

What speed is the processor showing when at 10%? I would definitely think the case will add to the problems as it's effectively an insulating blanket. I have just come to accept that the fan will run audibly on my SP3 most of the time. I would consider the Core-M model for my next purchase if...

I have to say, I've spent the morning trying to get in touch with someone at Microsoft that can provide a reasonable level of support. After a couple of hours of getting bounced around from one clueless tech with a poor connection and a basic grasp of english to another, repeatedly to the wrong...

I don't think so, as Microsoft says that 'Firmware updates cannot be uninstalled or reverted to an earlier version.'

Well it's official that they have pulled this firmware update Microsoft recalls bad Surface Pro 3 firmware update Now it'd be nice if they could actually provide a fix. It's only been two weeks since they have known about it.

Looks like MS has pulled this firmware update, predictably with NO communication on either roll-out or retraction. Causing lots of blue screens for users and for me, still sucking up 50% of cpu time although I'm lucky enough to still be able to boot. TWO WEEKS they have known about this and...
