Also started in 2003 with the Newton. :p

Depends on how you take notes. If you have a paper notebook or post-it note or scrap of paper handy, you're on the phone and have to write something down, you'll more than likely reach for an ink pen than the stylus/SP3. That is unless you have the discipline to use the SP3, even though it does...

I'm having wi-fi issues both with battery or connected to power. Just got off the phone with MS Support and the tech told me they are aware that there are wi-fi "issues". She put me on hold for a while and came back and told me a fix was in the works. With the SP3 sitting next to my Macbook...

My ears were burning as I said just that on Friday and again yesterday.... deadlines you know.... :wink:

I hate to agree but I agree. The Macbook Air is very long in the tooth with no real significant upgrades in a loooooong time. What amazes me is that they own/control a lot of the pen patents and have a significant jumping off point with the iPad. If they offered an iPad format with full OSX...

I did see a SP3 review that had a nice list of apps but cannot find that article. One app I would like is a cleanup tool to get rid of stuff that I uninstall completely. I've used AppZapper on the Mac with great success. Any recommendations for Win8?

Thought I'd start a thread on which apps/programs should be added to the SP3. I'm coming from a Macbook Air but I've been "blessed" with Win7 at the office. Loaded Office 2013 but I do not like the Outlook 2013 interface for 5 email accounts, especially since it does not play nice with...

Left the SP3 intentionally off the charger last night to see the battery drain. Was 64% last night and 61% this morning (7 hours later). More than I would like but acceptable. Left all the apps running when I closed the type cover (Chrome, IE, Excel, Outlook 2013, OneNote). So a fully charged...

I think this thread is important. One of the great features of the Macbook Air is its power management. I can just close the lid and come back in four days with almost zero battery drain... I'm not kidding. I have 5 email accounts that are all set to "push". So, I'd like to see if this kind of...

I wanted the damage protection so the deal looked good. I too already have multiple MS Office licenses and also have multiple sleeves, hence the ask for the additional power supply. There are two bundles offered, one with MS Office and the other without (cheaper). Was happy with the staff at...

I'm very pleased so far with the physical characteristics of the Pro 3. Much more refined than the Pro 2. Slimming down the thickness makes a WORLD of difference for portability from meeting to meeting. The Pro 2 was just too thick, so the frequency of leaving it behind at the desk increased...

Well that sucked. Got a message from UPS: Luckily I had pre-ordered at the physical Microsoft Store, so I headed down there and told them my tale of woe. Manager told me there was a 2 year bundle special on the extended warranty, type cover and sleeve. Told him I didn't need the sleeve but how...

Just got notification that expected delivery date is tomorrow. Christmas in June.

So I ordered the first unit from the Microsoft Store on 6/15. They didn't give me the student discount so they "fixed" the issue by creating another order the same day. So now I have two orders. Called to have the higher priced unit cancelled, but they told me that's not possible and I'll have...

Mine got charged twice... one with the student discount and one at full price. Checked the Microsoft store and yes there are two orders. I had to call in to get the student discount with the Fat Wallet 8% discount. Looks like the service rep took the easy way out and just created a new order at...

Mine got charged twice. Checked the online order and somehow they duplicated the order, one with the student discount and the other at full price. I'm hesitant to cancel either as they may cancel both. Rater return the "extra".

Which is why I chose not to live in Old Blighty, cross the pond and live with the Colonists in America. :big smile: But don't worry... with the current rate of spending, we'll be up to European pricing standards soon enough. Hmmmm, Costa Rica looks cheap these days.....

I just placed an order to get the 10% student discount. I was assured that the order would arrive on the 20th. Still have the order with the physical Microsoft Store in my town, so if it doesn't arrive on time, I can always go there.

How exactly does one obtain the discount? I went to Fatwallet.com and saw the 8% cash back offer, but when one clicks through to order the Surface Pro 3, the regular pricing is displayed. No 8% back or 10% student discount. **EDIT** I clicked through FatWallet and placed the order in the...

How does that price compare to what is offered at the Microsoft Store?
