    I have a good excuse not to buy an SP3

    And does the i7 run MYOB that much better? Just curious. I think you tried it on the i5 didn't you and found it not so good. Also how is the pen experiance on this new one? Any better than the previous?

    Slight separation between bezel and glass

    Best way to identify the batch is posting the Lot number from the white sticker on the box. The 14xx number.

    Circular area on screen

    Can't beleave this problem is still showing up. Lift your game Microsoft! Yes absolutely send it back. Sent mine back to Microsoft for a refund. Just received the refund a couple of days ago. Undecided whether to purchase another straight away. Really have to wonder if MS actually look at why...

    Poll Yellow streak poll (Model + Lot #)

    In Australia also. Can't hurt to call them. They can only refuse. The 14 days is mainly if you want a refund, so if it has an issue you can apply for a normal exchange under warranty. Means doing without one for a while though. No advanced replacement here apparently.

    PLEASE- post your serial numbers here!

    Where did you get lot 1436? MS store AU? How's the screen on that one? That's the latest I've seen and manufactured a week ago. I received a lot 1432 on the release day in Australia but sent it back for a refund with a screen issue. Waiting to purchase again once refunded.

    Poll Returned SP3: received new or refurb unit?

    Takes longer but if your in the refund period and your dealing with the MS store I think your better getting a refund and re purchasing. You get another refund period and your guaranteed to receive a new SP3. We do have a couple of retail stores in Australia selling the Surfaces, but no MS stores.

    On the SP3 or 2 if you install the iCloud control panel and use Outlook for email that will sync iCal, Contacts, Tasks on the iMac iPad and iPhone. Also bookmarks and photo's if you wish. Well worth looking at moving from Apple is Office 365. Gives you the Office suite inc Outlook and the...

    Poll Yellow streak poll (Model + Lot #)

    Not sure if that screen problem has been fixed on later lots but 1430 is getting pretty old now. July 21 to 27 production. Just returned a lot 1432 to MS for a different screen issue but couldn't see a yellow line on that one. In Australia I see MS sending out lot 1434 SP3's. Same as over here...

    Ring on Screen of Surface Pro 3

    Can't see it in your photo but it's probably the same problem I had on mine. I returned mine to Microsoft. Other that returning it for another there's nothing else you can do as it's a hardware problem. It can't be cleaned off. I tried also.

    buying from microsoft store online vs pc world (uk)

    I think the same as the MS store Australia purchasing in the UK MS store gives the option to return for a refund over 14 days if your not happy with the purchase for any reason what so ever. Not sure if a retail store gives you the same 14 days. Worth checking. Either way of course you still...

    Solved Noisy kickstand

    That's what I think would be the best way if possible and minimize disruption if funds were available to purchase straight away. Would save waiting for the refund to apply and give a full 14 days on the new one. Not sure if you get another 14 days when MS exchange. If funds are not available it...

    Circular area on screen

    It's an issue for some and not others. Each to their own opinion. I'm making the judgement on whether what I'm purchasing meets my standard. I'm not imposing that view on others or stating what standard others should have. The devices I purchase have to meet my standards, performance, cosmetic...

    Circular area on screen

    Suspect this is a wider spread problem also. Mine was total invisible unless moisture was applied in any way. I did notice when cleaning that ther were blotches on other parts of the screen also. I suspect the problem was with coating on the glass and the circle was caused by something being in...

    Weird screen marks

    I have the exact problem but a circle on the screen. Mines packed up waiting for the shipping label to go back to MS. Wasn't willing to try vinegar incase it caused damage and wouldn't have been accepted then. I think the surface coating is faulty on the screens that have issues like this so...

    SP3 Automatic Time Update not working?

    Try one of the other time servers from the automatic time settings. Think it was time.windows.com that didn't work for some reason for me.

    Circular area on screen

    Had a rethink and after trying to clean the screen unsuccessfully with the microfiber cloth and glasses cleaner I'm going to return it. Pity as otherwise it's issue free but not good enough for a costly product. Purchased from Microsoft so I'll contact them. In Australia we only get 14 days to...

    Circular area on screen

    It certainly hasn't been used as a co Certainly hasn't been used as a coaster. LOL. Not by me anyway. So is nobody else seeing this also??

    Circular area on screen

    Greyfox7. Probably worked for me because the SP3 had been in the bag for a couple of hours so it was cold. And the weather was cool too. Probably wouldn't work during summer here. So the glass has to be cold I think for it to work. Wasn't something I wanted to take any action on at this stage...
