Got mine early today from BB. So far: - changing hue issues on websites in IE and Edge. - screen freezing - keyboard/touchpad not responding after wake - multiple crashes This POS is going back to BB tomorrow, I'm never pre-ordering anything from MS again.

Same here, just like on the demo unit I played with at BB...

I would highly recommend that you upgrade to 8Gb. It is the sweet spot currently, and a lot of programs can be significantly faster. Future proofing and resale value also need to be taken into consideration.

I cannot find the article now, but one of the big tech sites did a good comparison of various memory configurations. Their conclusion was that besides VMs which obviously need to reserve good chunks of RAM, there was no large performance gain as it is from 4Gb to 8Gb in any major application...

I'm waiting for he reviews as far as battery life and noise. If not much different, I'll be exchanging my i5, Iris GPU in Surface format is very intriguing, and I did't realize that Best Buy will carry the i7/256Gb version, a lot easier to stomach than the 512Gb :)

No changes, basically same device. Make sure you come back to ask about SP6 though, you might get up to 2 posts! /sarcasm Is it really that hard to google SP4 specs??

pre-ordered i5/256/8 with blue Type Cover.......

Another point would be thermal throttling and noise level. I spent a good deal of time at Best Buy today with SP4, and finally succumbed to the pre-order bug... Got the i5. I would love to get the i7, but $500 for iris and 8Gb extra is just crazy. if it also had 512Gb SSD, I would've been sold...

I just played with i5 SP4 today at Best Buy. OPs comments are right on the money - the keyboard and trackpad are such a great improvement. The screen was beautiful, and the whole unit felt really fast. Noticed same two issues though - I lost the mouse cursor a couple of times after closing and...

Ugh, maybe because x360 and SP3 are very much competing products, with Microsoft heavily involved with both, and both are hybrid devices? And SP3 throttles very badly, which is what made me return it and get x360, and x360 is MUCH better at sustained loads?? You know, the performance thing? The...

Why not just get HP Spectre x360 and be happy :) I finally gave up on the SP3, loving the x360. My SP2 is still with me though, and surprisingly hard to give up.

I have tried getting used to the Touch Cover keyboard, but at the end of the day it's still unusable to me. I'm much faster with on-screen keyboard, as I've learned to adapt to it and have a soft touch - the Touch Cover if I type that way then it does not register half the time. If I type on it...

I'm actually very surprised as well how good the Type Cover keyboard is. I'm pretty much full speed on it as long as I can find a comfortable and stable position, and the trackpad works better than most Windows trackpads. For a laugh, I also have an SP2 with Touch Cover, and to say it's night...

Well, I installed 10 on my SP3, and after actually using it fully for a day, I'm going back to 8.1 (which is BTW such a PITA, should be much easier). Lack of Metro IE (the script method nonwithstanding), some unexpected fan/heat once in a while, few smaller issues with improper spacing (usual...

I've installed Win 10 on my old SP2 few days ago finally, and have been playing with it non-stop. While it's not 100% polished graphics-wise, I'm really enjoying the improvements. Which brings me to the big question - is 10041 ready to be used as a daily, non-mission-critical OS on my SP3? Are...

+1 for NextGen, fully syncs with Feedly too

After playing with it for quite a while last night, I'm glad to say that it is as I expected - it's silent for web browsing, reading, etc., and not too loud when it is working harder (like installing all the updates and multiple apps). Definitely louder than my SP2, but nothing like my wife's...

Well, got my SP3, downloading all the updates. So far so good :)

Thanks, I think from everything I've read, I'm going with that model. Hopefully my next problem will be selling the SP2, not returning the SP3 :)

So what you are basically saying is, don't listen to anything on the internet. In fact, what's even the point of this forum :) I sample of comments large enough should minimize the opinion bias and give me a better understanding of what people think, on average. That's really all I'm looking...
