    Remove finger scrolling threshold?

    It's the same as the touchpad 'feature'. It should be a setting, but it's not.

    Use SP3 as remote control for desktop?

    Just remembered an app for this, It's Android though and designed for phones I think. It's called Power Grid.

    SP3 constant fan

    Google Drive won't be helping. I would suggest a refresh without installing any Google software.

    SP3 constant fan

    If this is the same as it's always been, it must be some other software you are running, or even some kind of virus. What antivirus are you running? Also you should look at everything that is running when you have this issue.

    Noise in absolute silence

    I hear nothing if I press my ear to the corner next to the CPU, when the tablet is idling.

    SP3 constant fan

    Have you always been using Firefox? Are you using different extensions in Firefox? Are you using any other software?

    SP3 constant fan

    What software are you using? 30% CPU will start the fan. Sounds like Chrome.

    Short Battery life

    You shouldn't run it down all the time - only once per month. If you upload the report to onedrive or something, and give an example of what you're not getting here, someone can help explain it.

    Short Battery life

    Have you calibrated your battery? You should run it down until the device shuts off and then charge it fully without using it. If you haven't done this yet in the 15 days you have owned the device, you might even have to do it twice. Honestly, I've written this so many times now that someone...

    Outlook/Excel - 2010 or 2013?

    Why don't you use 2013 on your desktop? There are some changes with the menus, but it's better software.

    best android emulator

    I meant more for testing purposes. Really though, there are only a couple of things I want from Android - switching OS all the time could be a bit irritating.

    best android emulator

    No no, I just looked at it - went to their website, checked the forum. If it was available to install I would probably try it in the hypervisor first.

    best android emulator

    I had a brief look at this yesterday, and it might be what I need. I have to change my stance on this emulator - I tried it a bit more last night and it ate 7% of my battery in 15 minutes - in 45 minutes I was down 21%. I hope they can improve this.

    Sort of defeating the point of Surface - your all-in-one becomes an all-in-two. I could buy an Android tablet, I just don't want to carry it.

    SP3 with old type cover

    Yes, the i3 will be significantly better than your RT. The main reasons you would want the new Type Cover are because it fits the screen properly, the trackpad is bigger and better, and it has the new magnets to elevate the top of the keyboard - like unfolding the tabs beneath a desktop keyboard.

    best android emulator

    Or at least 4.3. I am impressed with how it runs, but 4.3 is pretty much the minimum these days if you want to run any recent apps.
