    Pen Useful?

    As someone else said, it depends on what you do. I am a Physics student so I find the pen very useful. It's much faster than using the equation editor, which is fantastic and works amazingly well but the pen is still faster. So basically I find it most useful for math work, but I also use it to...

    Disappointing N-trig Pen lag and accuracy on the Surface Pro 3...

    Your problem is that you're using an N-trig device with a Wacom mentality. With Wacom, you watch the cursor. With N-trig, you watch the pen. Don't worry about the hover cursor, just draw. I also used to think there was a jitter issue. I then drew a line using a ruler and it was perfectly straight.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I tried the new build, wanted to revert due to 4 hours of battery life and really annoying bugs - like explorer freezing so that I can't do anything. I initially tried to use Windows Rollback, which appears to be broken in this build and told me my system needed to be repaired. Ok, so then I...

    One Drive Syncing

    In the current Win 10 preview, only the files you have stored locally are visible in File Explorer. If you want anything else, you have to visit the website. I personally find this to be an inconvenience, but it will be easier for most to understand. I'm hopeful they will let the user decide...

    Went to Microsoft Store today to possibly purchase -then went to Apple Store.

    I've found the start menu to be completely pointless since I started using 8.1 Its removal kept me on Win 7 for some time, but after upgrading I realized what I had been missing. I don't see a need anymore to open a menu and scroll through it to find Word for example, then click to open. I...

    Was about to buy SP3 when saw this bad review on Youtube?

    Looks like a lot goes into it. I've never really been thankful that the display is so good, but I guess that's a good thing, not noticing it.

    Was about to buy SP3 when saw this bad review on Youtube?

    I'm no expert on colors, but the display comparisons that Anandtech do rate the SP3 display as one of the very best laptop displays on the market. Here's a link to Anandtech's display comparison between the new Yoga 3 Pro, SP3, XPS machines, 2014MBA and others...

    type cover not working when on "angled" position

    Rub both the connections with your fingers or thumb - it's probably dirt from all the disconnecting, it creates an opportunity for bits of dirt to cover the connections.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Battery life up to 8.1 standards yet? How about fan activity? Does IE Experimental have swipe back functionality?

    I'm very confident that mine does not have it.

    You will probably be best off with Drawboard PDF.

    Temp and Power Mgmt App?

    The most common culprits are Windows Defender, Windows Update and Indexing. Oh, and Chrome, and everything else Google. Indexing will stop when your files have been indexed for super fast search speed. Windows Update will stop if you turn off automatic updates. Defender will stop if you run...

    Type cover deterioration

    Yes. I guess you can minimize shearing forces if you keep the keyboard flat, but I've not found this to be an issue. The only thing I'd say has build issues so far is the Pro 2 charger, which is playing up a lot.

    Stuck at welcome screen

    Since you refreshed it already, my next step would be a reset as above.

    Surface Pro 3 has a weak charger and power system ?

    Yes, -20C is cold. You shouldn't charge a lithium-ion battery below 0C or above 45C. I'm sure it must have a sensor for battery temperature.

    Stuck at welcome screen

    Have you tried booting into the bios? You have to hold Volume + and press the power button, and it should boot there. Then exit setup and it might boot properly. If not, then you will probably need to refresh the device.

    Type cover deterioration

    I tear mine off a lot, and it still looks fine. Get it replaced under warranty. My Type Cover 2 is also still in use and not having any issues either.

    5.5 is pretty good for Chrome.
