Aren't most flat screen led tv's 1366x768? I know you can set the surface screen to that. Wouldn't that make the desktop full screen then?

So, how many people remember that to close apps, you pull them down to the bottom of the screen, and HOLD them there 'till they flip around, then slide them down? Funny that all the help from Microsoft doesn't mention it anymore. I guess they want everything running all the time !!!

I replaced a mechanical hard drive with a ssd in my win 7 netbook a couple years ago. the ssd manufacturer recommended leaving a small amount of the drive unallocated to allow for internal repair and activity. Maybe the 128 mb space on the surface ssd is for that purpose. It doesn't show up in...

Got update 1 late tuesday night, no problems installing. Only thing aggravating to me was the fact that both the 8.1 upgrade, and the 8.1 update 1 both reset my power settings back to default. I had my SP1 set to shutdown, never sleep or hibernate. 8.1 upgrade killed my battery overnight, went...

Sorry, but why are you wasting your time with IE at all? First thing I installed on my surface pro was Mozilla Firefox. Haven't looked back to IE since I switched to Netscape on my Windows 95c destop. (Still will run if I put a cmos battery on the motherboard!) Ha!

I have 4 pc's at home I use, one old xp desktop, a vista laptop, a win7 netbook, and now my surface pro 128 (still using win 8), as well as my non-smart but internet and multimedia capable cell phone, and an android tablet. The only thing I keep syncronized is my contacts. Everything else...

Did the Surface create that E: drive by itself? Or did you create it? I copied the recovery on my surface pro 128 to usb, but didn't delete the drive. I figured if I deleted the recovery drive, it would just remove the partition. then you could just extend the C: drive into the free space. I...

I have a Lite-on eNAU108 usb DVD burner I got a while back for a Win7 netbook. Needs 2 usb connects though. I bought a Samsung SE-218cb/rsbs usb dvd drive to use with an android tablet I have, it operates in AV mode with android, both work with my surface pro. The Samsung only needs one usb...
