I've had the Atom-based Surface 3 since May.....but today bought the S4 from Best Buy. I loved my previous Surface....but all of the little things that I told myself I'd learn to live with are SO MUCH BETTER now on this one. Glad I made the move.

Get Drawboard from the Store if you want to be able to mark on PDF documents with your Surface Pen. I work in a situation where I've found it useful as a tool for having people sign documents online.

I know nobody has it yet, but speculation is invited: Do you think that the new Surface Pen, with the eraser and the changeable tips, will work on the Surface 3?

First, let me state I'm really, really hoping they make a Surface 4, because I felt left out of this week's news about the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book. I could buy the Pro 4 if I wanted, but that size remains TOO HUGE to operate as a handheld tablet. I love my Surface 3, but would...

Definitely agree about Drawboard. So glad I found that one.

If my work involved graphics-intensive things or my leisure time involved heavy gaming, you might be right. Because my work (I work where I live) involves making some light reports and printing them and my gaming usually involves casual gaming and puzzles, I don't notice any difference between...

Honestly the Surface 3 can be an expensive device. I got the 128 gig one, which is $600. Plus $130 for the keyboard, $40 for the pen, which made the initial investment almost $800. However, since then, I added the official docking station for another $130 and a 24 inch HD monitor for $200 and...

Yup that's the reason I don't use it on my Surface 3.

I actually have installed Bluestacks and prefer using the Android Kindle app on my Surface to the Windows version.

Here's how I handled the issue of too much spacing between groups being so large....and in the process, it also took are of the taskbar being too narrow, even in tablet mode. I simply went to Display Properties and went to the slider for "Make things larger." I slid it all the way up to 200%...

Because I use my Surface 3 as a tablet quite a bit, I really love the "Action Center." To me, it's brilliant that a tablet that's used mostly in landscape mode lets you trigger the notification center with a swipe from one of the sides. While I had grown used to the Charms Bar of Win 8, to me...

Have you noticed if the crashes only happen when you're using Microsoft Edge? That's what was going on with my Surface 3. I fixed it by going into Edge settings and turning off Flash.

This is driving me crazy. Although I can use the Office 2016 version of Onenote, when I try to use the touch-friendly of Onenote, I get the message "Something Went Wrong," and I'm unable to use it. This wouldn't be that big of a deal, except that if I want to use my pen to open Onenote, this...

Actually now that I watch it again, she didn't scroll at all....she just said that she assumed when she gets more icons, it will scroll side to side. Here's the vid:

One of the things I liked on Windows 8 was scrolling left to right on the Start screen. It seems like a natural thing on a landscape-oriented tablet. Now that I've updated my Surface 3 to Win 10, I've noticed the live tiles tend to go up and down and scrolling likewise is up and down rather...

For several builds, I had the exact same issues that you report. But I went into Edge settings and turned off Adobe Flash and have had zero issues since then.

Not sure why you're reaching up to the top of the screen to go back when there's a perfectly fine 'BACK' arrow on the task bar on Windows 10.

Using mouse, right-click the taskbar (Or using your pen, hold down on your taskbar until the little circle draws completely around). There will be a menu with an option "show touch keyboard button.". Hopefully this is the only thing that's wrong, because otherwise, the button to summon the...

Both the People app and live tiles are working for me. However, I'm on the Surface 3, not the Pro 3 (if that makes a difference).

Funny I never even got it to work on Windows 8 or 8.1. lol
