    Possible Fault?

    I have not seen this. What device is the sound coming from? Can you determine if it is coming from the speakers in the SP3 or external speakers? Or some other component? I tried to watch your video and it said it was private. :(

    Poll Which internet browser do you use?

    I am in Chrome exclusively. No other browsers loaded and I don't use IE. I like Chrome because it has some touch features like swiping to go back a page. Also it syncs settings to my other computer and my Moto X so I always have my favorites and other settings at hand.

    Trying to buy Microsoft business extended warranty!

    We ordered a bunch of new SP3's here at our office with the warranty from CDW. They were more than eager to sell them to us. Have you tried them? I don't have experience with any others.

    Poll SP3 Protection Poll

    I agree. I never use cases or screen protectors on my phones, tablets, or any other devices. The obvious reason on the Surface is the kickstand - it is far superior than any kickstand built into a case. The other reason I avoid cases is that a lot of really smart men and women spend a lot of...

    List of top 3 likes and dislikes about SP3

    Pros: 1. Tons of power in a small portable form factor 2. Works well as a desktop and as a tablet 3. It's a OneNote machine. I live in OneNote for work and personal notes Cons: 1. Track pad is not very usable - too small. But fixed that with a blue tooth mouse 2. Independent display...

    i7 SP3 overheating issues fixed yet?

    You said yours was the first batch in Hong Kong. I wonder if they had manufacturing or design issues initially - especially since there seems to also be significant WiFi issues with the earlier SP3's. We have just purchased 6 SP3's for our office and they came in last week. So far no one has...

    Monitor scaling adjustment on Docking

    Thanks again surfdock for the recommendation. I played around with the settings in the article but I still can't set the scaling independently for the two monitors. It is not horrible the way it is now, but could be better. I will wait for Windows 10 to see if this gets fixed. Thanks again!

    Touch Screen Keyboard disappears on youtube

    I just tested on mine and did not have the issue. I am using Chrome as my default browser version 38.02125.101m. The only extension I have is AdBlock. Perhaps Chrome needs to be reinstalled or some browser extension is causing this?n Does it happen in IE?

    Monitor scaling adjustment on Docking

    I agree with you on the complexity of changing the scaling during the docking process. This would be quite an accomplishment. I will check out the link you posted and post back. Thanks!

    SSD Host writes

    There is a theoretical limit on writes for SSDs before cells become unusable. However I have worked with SSDs since 2009 on both personal computers and enterprise storage arrays and i have yet to see even the busiest systems reach that limit.

    why isn't the keyboard wider?

    Maybe it is more of a spacing issue. I came from a MacBook Pro, and other laptops like that tend to have spaced out keys. Either way, I am slowly getting used to the type cover and still generally prefer my SP3 over my MacBook Pro.

    why isn't the keyboard wider?

    I had the same reaction. I love my new SP3 - but it seems like the type cover is big enough to house a standard MacBook Pro style laptop keyboard - yet it doesn't. The keyboard isn't bad - but would be much better if it was more like a laptop keyboard imo.....

    Monitor scaling adjustment on Docking

    So I just got my SP3 and I have only one complaint so far. I use it mobile in the evenings but as a desktop replacement during business hours with a dock and 24" monitor running at 1920 x 1080. There is an option to choose scaling options for each monitor independently or for both at the same...

    27" WQHD touch monitor

    Hi Tsurugaya. I use my SP3 in a dock as a desktop about 40 hours a week and take it home nightly. I use it with a 24" monitor that is not touch enabled. I find I don't miss the touch because I prefer the mouse and keyboard when sitting at a desk. There are other issues I have with display...

    Hello!

    Hello all! I got my SP3 four days ago - i7, 8GB, 256GB, dock and black type cover. I replaced a 2 year old Mac Book Pro running Boot Camp. So far the Surface is far superior! It makes a big difference to use something designed for Windows from the ground up. I am a 15 year IT veteran so I...
