Thanks for the comments, makes a lot more sense now. Will definitely shut down when away in the motorhome. I have an inverter when not on external power, but it is annoying to wake up and find the battery almost run out! Best regards Chris

Thank you Zheyna, I am a bit tied into Chrome, but may look at IE again. Perhaps MS is making sure we use IE!! I feel a conspiracy theory coming on!! Regards Chris

Thanks GreyFox7, At least I know now and thanks for not going into the jargon! I know it is not right to compare and guess it is what you mean, but it would be great if the battery lasts as long as my iPad 4! Regards Chris

Thanks for the response. So does that mean it should be switched off particularly when I don't have easy access to power? Regards Chris

I use my SP3 each and every day for everything. It is the top spec one so works well. I have been a user of MS OneNote but moved over to Evernote some years ago when I needed cross platform ability and have about 20,000 Notes. Among other things I have a Notebook with a Diary and Completed...

I try to run the battery down once a week on all my laptops. As an electronics engineer I appreciate the benefit to the battery in doing this. It helps to get into a routine. Regards Chris

I have exactly the same problem. Every time I leave the office or home or go to bed, I thought I was putting the SP3 to sleep by pressing the on/off button or putting the keyboard case on. More of a problem when I am on the road in my motorhome and need to conserve power. Overnight it can run...

Ah the Sinclair Spectrum, I remember it well! It was my first computer and how proud was I to make a dot appear randomly on the screen until it filled the page with white! Sinclair was a man who did not suffer fools gladly. I remember one paragraph at the front of the manual said in more words...

Same here, I have been using laptops for many years. So it was an easy move to the i7 with 512ssd. As you have set up for your friend, I have an external 27" monitor in my office and study at home. If you re-boot the SP3 without an external monitor, it will need to be re-booted when you...

Hi all, 24 hours later and I can definitely report that the Logitech K810 is a much better keyboard than the Microsoft Wedge. The whole keyboard is larger and more akin to a full size one. The keys being separated make for easier typing. I feel I may have to say it is definitely superior! I am...

Just bought a K810 and first impressions are this is a great piece of kit. I like the fact that it is slightly larger with a bit of space between the keys. Yes, I like the idea of connecting to my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for when I am not able to use the SP3. Will keep you posted once I have...

If I get the time I will pick up the Logitech K810 this morning and let you know what I think compared to the Microsoft Wedge. Regards Chris

In that case, I agree, it annoys me that you cannot adjust volume from it as well. Chris

Hi Kif, I use the raise and lower volume keys on the Microsoft Wedge all the time! Regards Chris

Not for me, I'm in the UK and cost of shipment would be high. I didn't buy mine from Amazon and I was only using it to show - for those who didn't know - what the Wedge Keyboard is. Best regards Chris

Hi Riggi, Sounds like the K810 is a definite one to try. Thanks for your input. Best regards Chris

Hi ptrkhh, Not sure about the 'Long battery life' as we have seen above danielrp talks about 8 months and still going. No way are rechargeables going to last that long! The 2nd point of Deeper key travel, must be more of a personal thing. I have been touch typing for over 40 years and cannot...

Hi Kif, In what way is it 'superior'? Regards Chris

Looks a good idea, but I do like the Microsoft Wedge keyboard, which is what I use most of the time unless on the move. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Mobile-Keyboard-Standard-Packaging/dp/B008TM581M The two AAA batteries have worked non stop for about 6 weeks with no sign of slowing up or...

Just make sure you ask someone who is technically qualified and you will of course get the right answer! Regards Chris
