    Anyone able to create hotspot on Surface Pro 3?

    Not who but what. I have more than 1 device that I wish to share data with when I'm traveling in my RV. So far there's been lots of debate about what I'm doing but zero helpful answers. I guess the answer to my question is no, since apparently no one else has even tried this on the SP3. This...

    Anyone able to create hotspot on Surface Pro 3?

    Local vs. Microsoft account- why or why not

    I guess I'll be the lone person that doesn't like syncing all of their settings to every device. Call me old-fashioned but I prefer setting my devices up separately. I know where to find my stuff if I need it so use a local account. I have absolutely no problems using the Store, I...

    free one drive space with surface pro 3?

    The SP2 included a card with a code on the back that could be redeemed for the free OneDrive space. My SP3 didn't come with any such card/code so I don't think SP3 purchasers get that benefit.

    SP3 Firmware/Windows Update Issue

    One comment about your picture. You have both the Surface and Mac Book Air sitting on a soft surface (bed?). This is really bad for laptops and tablets as they aren't able to get sufficient air flow. Additionally, lint and dust get sucked in to their cooling system and plug things up. I...
