Have you looked into this?: http://www.freedompop.com/ If you are in their service area it's a good deal. I'm not in their 4G service area so can't get the free 500MB per month plan.

As I did with Win 7 & Win 8 Previews, the Win 10 Preview will be installed in a VM. I'd never install a preview (Beta) on a machine I need/use on a daily basis.

I pretty much always shutdown my SP3 regardless of whether I plan to use it again during the day. It boots quickly enough that I don't care if I need to boot it multiple times per day. When I think I'm done with it for the day, I place it in the dock to charge.

Back to the original point of this thread, sharing a DVD drive across your network in order to play a movie really doesn't have anything to do with the SP3 (it's no surprise that it works), it has more to do with whether or not your network is up to snuff.

My point is that there are other Miracast adapters out there that do meet my criteria with no need for adapters. For newer TVs this is great, not so for older TVs.

I have a slew of wall warts with a microUSB connector to charge cell phones and such but not much in the way of a full size USB connector to use as a power source. The USB pigtail is really only a good solution for newer TVs/monitors that have a USB port to use for power.

My problem is solved (although still can't create hotspot on SP3). My carrier (Verizon) sent out a system update for my LG G2 phone and now FoxFi works to use my phone as a hotspot! I'm typing this in from my SP3 connected via wifi to my phone. It's still a curiosity to me why creating a...

I can't even recall the last time I encountered someone using a Blackberry device.

None of my TVs have a USB to connect to so I would prefer to have a microUSB port instead of the USB pigtail for powering the device. Otherwise sounds great.

I read these forums and see the problems some have had with their SP3s and I scratch my head because I have not had any issues.

Yeah, with the 1 yr Office 365 subscription you save about $80 on the bundle.

That commercial is pretty good, too bad the store sucks!

I rip DVDs and save as mp4 then I can copy them to my sd card or to an external USB drive and play them from there.

Read the user comments. Someone claims to be using one with both an SP2 and an SP3.

Another way to share files between the 2 machines would be to use Dropbox. Once you setup Dropbox on both computers, any files you save to the Dropbox folder on one machine will automatically be transferred to the other machine. The one drawack to Dropbox is that both computers need to have an...

It's not really necessary to convert the install CD to an ISO, you can simply copy the files from the CD to a USB thumb drive, plug it into the SP3 and run the install from there. The cases where you would need to create an ISO are those where the CD is copy-protected (a game perhaps?) or if...

There's a huge difference between a pen and a stylus. I've used devices with a stylus and used devices where you only used your fingers. In many cases the stylus worked better. On one hand it's kind of a pain to have to always carry a stylus around but the accuracy of a stylus blows away the...

I don't use Bluetooth headphones but I have been listening to music all day today on a Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth speaker connected to my SP3 and haven't had it disconnect at all. My SP3 has the all the latest updates.

If I'm accessing this forum from my SP3, desktop, laptop or netbook, I use FireFox. If on my phone or Android tablet, Dolphin browser.

A dongle may work but seems a shame to waste your single USB port on that. You could always use a USB hub I guess.
