You might also consider the Lenovo Miix 700 as well. For me, anything larger than the Surface 3 is too big. I'll probably have to stay with the Atom until Microsoft decides to put a Core M into the SurfaceX.

Defender works fine for me. Just stay away from sites like spankme.com.

My typical utilization is under 50%. However, when the unit is indexing updates, my utilization rate can shoot up to 100% and temps hit levels that threaten to throttle (although it never has yet). I have also experienced high utilization rates when connected to a host of BT devices and...

I would actually like to see MS bring back the touch cover. I thought it was a great solution. The one made for the SP2 was incredibly responsive. I think I would use it as my main cover and take the type cover along only where I was going to be doing more serious typing. I dislike very...

I am normally a fan of screen protectors but the S3 feels so good writing directly on the display with the pen (particularly with the new SP4 pen) that I haven't added an SP. I am, however, having glare issues using the S3 in public buildings with neon lighting overhead and in any outdoor...

I don't and assumed that it was the USB 3.0. Did not know that anyone had already used a process of elimination. At least the dock will still solve the problem of a broken mUSB and if the DP can charge, there must be some way to make a Frankenstein cable that can do the trick. BTW, for the...

Way down the Turnpike to Exit 5. My office is in Moorestown (not Morristown). I am lucky enough to live in the Pinelands, next to Warton State Forrest. Almost as pretty as Sussex County. Glad to be of help.

If you're contemplating a Surface 3 and you can wait, I would. I expect the pixel sense controller added to the SP4 to be included in the S4 upgrade. That alone is worth the wait. There should be an upgraded keyboard as well. Finally, the new Atom should offer significant improvement in...

I use IE11. Edge is not ready for prime time.

The dock does not have a connection for the mUSB port. It connects only through the full size USB 3.0 port and the DP port. That means that charging in the dock is accomplished through the USB 3.0 port. So, yes, that is one option to solve your problem. It occurs to me that the USB 3.0 port...

If you are comparing the Surface 3 to a larger device, I am assuming that you still need a portable device for on the go. IMO, the Surface 3 only works as an all in one when you take advantage of the docking capability. After all, if you are comparing it to a larger notebook, you will still...

I don't see Microsoft putting a Core M in the Surface 4. Intel continues to improve and promote the Atom. The X7-8700 was just refreshed as the X7-8750 with clocks set 1.6ghz higher, only six months after its release. Apollo Lake will add Gen 9 graphics and power savings. I think Microsoft...

I had the same problem with the flat part at first, but got used to it. I like the new pen a lot. The new tip makes writing more natural. The pen is better balanced with the added length. The bayonette connection on the cap, the elimination of the extra fitting at the tip and the new tip...

Actually, if you can find a type cover wireless adapter that were being sold when the Surface Pro 2 was out, you can use the Type Keyboard with the dock as a wireless keyboard.

My S3 fell from a height of about 3'from table it was resting on while charging. Thought it was a goner but no damage. It looks more fragile than it is.

I have the docking station for the S3. What do you want to know?

I can't bring myself to do this.

Yea, you're probably stuck doing a clean install of W8 Pro and then upgrading to 8.1 Pro. I don't think there's any other way to get there. I remember reading about this issue when 8.1 first came out.

I got it at the Delaware MS Store where I got my S3. They sell it online. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Maroo-Synthetic-Leather-Sleeve-for-Surface-3-Woodland-Brown/productID.316999200

Anybody see one antiglare?
