    Bluetooth Headphones on the Surface

    I use a pair of Harmon Kardon BT's. Picked them up on ebay from the Harmon Kardon store refurbished with one year warranty for $99.00 free shipping. They sound pretty good, come with microphone and have good battery life. They fold flat with case and fit in the bag I carry my SP2.

    Should I buy an SP1?

    I have one of each and to be honest with you for most of what I do, unless I look at the back of the surface I could not tell you which one I was using. The power cover will give about 50% more operational time on either unit.

    Is the10.6 form factor dead?

    I find that disappointing also... That would make the product life of this form factor from SP1 release date 2/9/13 to the SP3 release date of 6/21/14. If I was an IT manager who chose to build around this form factor and product line I would be far more than disappointed. Microsoft would...

    Just looked and there is a SP2 512gb for $779.00... That is a great deal.

    Take a look at amazon.com. If there is an issue with a third party vendor they will back you 100%. I bought 2 of my Surfaces thru Amazon used and no problems...

    Touch or Type cover

    If you get a Touch get the Touch 2. Its easier to use (more sensors under the keys), thinner, lighter and backlit. I have had both. If you type a lot you will want the Type Cover. With the exception of being backlit the differences between a Type and Type 2 cover are small. I also have a...

    Change EQ on SP2

    Was originally hoping for a software solution but after reading some of your suggestions I am leaning toward the FiiO E17 Alpen Portable Headphone Amplifier USB DAC. Thanks for all the input, I had not considered a hardware fix...

    Change EQ on SP2

    Thanks for responding. I use my headphones a lot of the time to reduce distraction for others. Compared to my other devices I use the headphones with the sound on the Surface sounds muddy regardless of source. So I was hoping that there might driver, app or program that would allow overall...

    A year of issues - a happy ending

    When you say "pushed" it, do mean letting it get hot? If so do you think the adhesive used to hold the Surface together gave out? I have pushed my SP2 playing games, while it has never shut down the area near the power switch does get pretty darn warm.

    Pro worth buying?

    Yes it has 256gb ssd but only 4gb of ram. When I found the great deal on the SP2 with 256ssd, 8gb ram and the 4300u cpu. I had to upgrade.

    Is the10.6 form factor dead?

    I don't carry the pen much, I have already lost 2. While it would be great if the SP2 were thinner and lighter I have not found it to be a problem. Compared to the SP3 the difference is only 100 grams (roughly 4 oz), so I grab it, put it under my arm and out the door I go...

    A year of issues - a happy ending

    I have purchased 3 Surface Pro's. The first was a refurbished SP1 128 from the Microsoft Store, but I really wanted a bigger ssd. Sold the SP1 128 on craigslist for $30.00 more than I paid Microsoft. I bought a used SP1 256 on Ebay. When they announced the SP3, I was able to find a SP2 256...

    Pro worth buying?

    I have both the SP1 and SP2. The SP2 is definitely better but I kept my SP1 256 as a back up because it worked great. If you can get a good enough deal the SP1 is still a good computer.

    Is there a way to adjust the EQ (ie... bass/treble) on SP2?

    A year of issues - a happy ending

    I guess I have been lucky. I have had an SP1 128, SP1 256 and SP2 256 and have not had any quality control issues. Most of the issues I have had were with the SP1 and was aware of them before my purchase (ie... SP1-short battery life, single position kickstand, windows 8). None of the three...

    Is the10.6 form factor dead?

    I have been very happy with my SP2 256 and have built an infrastructure to support it. I was hoping that there would continue to be additional accessories for the SP2. For instance I wish someone would make a cover of VaporMg that would attach to the magnets and cover the screen. I also...

    Type Cover getting dirty easily

    On the felt back I use a lint roller the front I use a warm damp cloth. Both my black touch and type covers are felt on the back vinyl on the front, but my white touch cover is vinyl on both sides. It is much easier to clean. I wish the others were the like that...
