    is SP3 really "in stores" - can i go check it out?

    The parallax was always a problem for me... and the lousy pen/stylus ergonomics, not only for the Surface Pro 2 but the Galaxy Note 10.1 and 12.2 that I own. All of those are going bye bye on June 20th. The pen tip is replaceable and has a "thread" that provides just the right amount of...

    is SP3 really "in stores" - can i go check it out?

    Was very impressed with it. My biggest gripe with the SP2 was the thickness. MSFT certainly solved that.. and it's light as well. The pen experience is amazing. There is virtually no parallax so I can write as small as on a sheet of paper with ease. The "eraser" click function to launch OneNote...

    Plugable UD-3000 Docking Station not working with Apple LED display

    Were you logged in with a Staples account? Was it in your Cart? Or, were you just on the listing page for the item? I created a Staples Rewards account, logged in and put the item in the cart. Waited 30 minutes..... nothing.

    Plugable UD-3000 Docking Station not working with Apple LED display

    I have a couple of Apple LED Cinema displays, one of which I've been using with the Surface Pro 2. Works great when I plug the mini display connector directly into the Surface Pro 2. Purchased a Plugable UD-3000 docking station to cut down on the wires/connections. However, it does not appear...

    Surface pro 2 availability

    Really? I just purchased one (256GB HD - 8MB Ram)and received it last week. G-man is correct, check daily and jump when stock is available.

    Microsoft Dock Results

    The dock comes with a power supply, but it's not the same one as is used with the Surface by itself (see the image in the bubble below). Would have been nice if it was. Was in the Microsoft store today and got a good look at the dock. It's very well made. You place the Surface in the tray then...

    Checking the side of the box - lot 1351. I have a 256GB unit on order direct from the Microsoft store (wanted the extra space and RAM). Hope that it has the 4300.

    Surface Pro 2.5?

    Yes, I bought a 128GB unit at BB and it has the updated i5-4300. Just ordered a 256 GB unit from Microsoft store (BB doesn't have any and Microsoft now does). Hoping it too will have the i5-4300. Wanted the extra RAM and storage.

    Screen Rotation lock - must be a quicker way

    Was surprised that there doesn't appear to be an easy way to lock/unlock the screen rotation of the Surface. Here is a link that gives the best explanation of the available options. How to Disable Screen Auto-Rotation in Windows 8 It would be extremely helpful to have an icon in the...

    Worth it or not

    Do you think 128 GB is enough? Went to BB yesterday and they did not have either the 256 or 512 models; only 128 was available. Picked that up as I wanted to get started evaluating whether this will work for me. I have a MacBook Air with 240GB of the 512GB drive. Granted with all the storage...

    Surface Pro2 Works Apple 27 Cinema Display

    Hooked up the Surface Pro 2 to my Apple LED Cinema display (non-thunderbolt). The "recommended" resolution is 2560x1440. Works but the icons are really grainy. With Outlook 2013 open the whole application interface is not really sharp. Not at all what I was expecting. Perhaps its a driver...
