You will see a lot more on the screen, as it's both bigger and higher res. Performance will be a bit better, but the main draw doubling, or perhaps even more than doubling your battery life. I also really noticed the thinness.

I wouldn't mess with the voltages, as SP3 is already very specialized. The benchmarks provided by Intel will vary with device - we are seeing this more and more now, with drastic differences in Core M performance, due to the build of the devices. SP3 is very thin considering the 15W processor...

The i7 desktop parts are a lot more powerful than the i7 ultrabook parts. The i5s on the desktop are also much better than the i7 ultrabook parts. The xbox uses an AMD chip, it’s an APU. An APU is the CPU with a good GPU on the same chip. AMD chips don't really stand up to Intel that well, and...

None of the Surface devices have the CPU power I need to enjoy my games. I wouldn't need to build a comparable PC, I would need to build one that is much more powerful, and I have. It can be the one device some people need, but it cannot handle all of the work I need it to, and for me, a GPU...

Remove and re-insert the AAAA battery. If this doesn't work, then replace the AAAA battery.

It's above 1080p, but it's nice to have good build quality. You will have to wait for the Anandtech review. I'm personally quite looking forward to it. Something Microsoft really needs to do is improve the performance of their tablet browser, as IE Metro feels a bit slow, but now we have to...

I should clarify then. When you mention external GPU, I assume you mean as a part of the dock - something that is for stationary computing, powered from the wall. It will also depend on what you plan to play, as any decent graphics card will be bottlenecked by the CPU. Games I play like...

Numlock is used when you have a numberpad. Since there is no numberpad, there is no numlock.

I doubt it would be worth the money. At that stage, you have a device that is no longer portable - you have a desktop. Probably better off building one.

I hate TechCrunch. But the AMA was decent. They didn't answer the biggest question which was about Windows Hello in future devices.

That is speculation. The official release is for summer.

Briefly considered buying one for my mum, but I think she is better with my Pro 2. She is getting my Pro 3 when I get a Pro 4 anyway so no need to complicate things further.

Windows 10 is expected this Summer, which ends in September.

I think there are some things they either don't know or aren't able to admit. Always reset the calibration though. Actually calibrating it will always break it, for some reason.

Personally I would have put Surface and the Microsoft logo, in that order. Not sure why you would avoid the Surface branding.

Win 10 is probably the issue.

Well since S3 has autofocus, we can safely expect an autofocus camera in SP4.

It would be good if you were doing any online tutorials.

I skimmed through the official announcement by Panos Panay - Microsoft is officially encouraging people to use Drawboard PDF, as it's pre-installed on S3. Hopefully they will improve performance of inking.

You need some virtualization software like Daemon Tools. Use it to mount the ISO to a virtual drive.
