While SP2 is quieter and cooler than SP1, the fans are definitely needed. Watching movies, copying large amount of data, playing games all makes them spin up. I would also like to see a full-blown i5 Haswell fanless laptop :) I think you are thinking of Bay Trail architecture.

Choosing Performance profile which effects battery life is not really a long-term fix now, is it? :) You also forgot to mention the battery life as it looks like SP2 has Yoga 2 Pro beat there.

I know exactly what you mean, as I've been struggling with the same issue :) I have a 15" MBP and it's so nice to be able to sit down and have a large screen in front of you. When I used an iPad, I wasn't very fond of the browsing experience and would come back to the MBP for any "serious" web...

There are two issues with the Yoga for me - the keyboard sticks out when folded like a tablet, and at 13" its just too big to be a tablet. I actually tried Dell XPS12 and at first the screen size was great, as a laptop, but I ended up returning it for the SP2 because it just wasn't working as a...

The way I have my SkyDrive set up is a Documents folder that separate from My Documents, but part of the Documents library. That way all the "junk" like AppData, etc. gets saved in My Documents and not backed up, but real documents I create are always on SkyDrive. For pictures and videos I...

To be honest mitchellvii, you got me worried :) I have had second thoughts about 4/128, and now I'm thinking about getting the 8/256 when BBs actually get it, but now I'm not sure if I want to go through another exchange...

If you haven't noticed a problem, why in the world do you want to look for one :) Seriously, just hide this thread and be happy.

Magic Marker?

That, plus no gigabit Ethernet, and ONE USB 3.0 port... Has to be the worst docking station ever...

I have to say, my experience has been quite the opposite... I've returned 3 TVs in process of settling on the one I really wanted, XPS 12 and my wife's tablets four times (she settled on on the new Surface 2, after Kindle, Nook HD+, iPad Mini and iPad 4)... All within this year, and we've never...

The Ethernet situation with the dock is really disappointing and will probably mean no money from me... what were they thinking??

yes, and like I said, I used it for the same purpose on XPS 12 and it worked fine.

I'm trying to create a system image on an external 500Gb USB HD. I've used the same drive successfully on a Dell XPS12 so I know it works. Unfortunately on the SP2 it starting doing the image, then stops about 2-3 minutes in saying that the disk is inaccessible. I can access the disk and copy...

Well, you are supposed to hold it for 20 seconds or so to do a hard shutdown, then a quick 1 second press to turn it back on.

Well, the SP1 and 2 chargers are 48W, while RT is 24W and much smaller. Normally I would just try it, but I have had a bad experience :) My wife has a 13" MBP and I have the 15". 13" comes with a smaller charger, and one night I was using my 15" to edit a movie, and accidentally plugged her...

Wow, thanks for this, I just made my Time Machine backup my Surface files just like it does on my MBP. Had no clue Windows had this built-in, I guess I need to read up a little more...

Excellent question actually, I'm wondering too :) I just traded in my Surface RT at BB to get my SP2, and kept the charger. I wonder if I can use the RT charger safely (would be great at work as a trickle charger...)

Mine has VERY minor bleed on left side, but its the best IPS screen I've owned as far as quality so far.

Now I'm afraid to look at mine :)

Yes, such a little thing (the 2nd angle) but oh so useful. Suddenly makes it a lap-friendly device.
