    MP4 files

    Why not just use the wireless network and copy the files directly. Uploading large HD files to a cloud storage and then down again seems like a waste of time.

    Microsoft SP3 Bundle...really???

    Yes, they can sell the bundle without the SP3, so they had me do a return on my keyboard, and I just got the bundle. I was going to buy complete anyway, so its like I got a free office 365 subscription and a sleeve for nothing.

    Router for SP3

    ASUS N66U (Work) - 5g and 2.4g both work "most of the time". Switching from one to the other will always fix the limited issue for me. Google Fiber Router (Home) - Exactly the same situation as the Asus.
