    Possible deal breaker - can't move large amounts of data on external drives

    I know this issue has already been raised by at least one forum member but here's my experience. I use 2 TB My Passport Ultra mobile USB 3.0 drives to store media content and also for backups. All my of external drives were just about full so I bought a new drive yesterday and started with the...

    Latest updates but still having 'nuisance' problems

    Woh, this is strange. When I first set up my Surface Book I saw the 12/2 update listed and I assumed it was installed as part of my setup. Since then I've gone to the Windows updates page plenty of times and hit the Update button, but this morning the 12/2 update was still showing up as an...

    Latest updates but still having 'nuisance' problems

    Thanks, I have until January 15th to return it but I just finished moving over all my email, calendaring, etc. to my SB. I would hate to return it but I don't know ... I'm in iTunes right now and every time I switch to a different window I get that loud kind of mechanic click sound.

    Latest updates but still having 'nuisance' problems

    I've got the i7/16GB/512GB SB which so far I am loving although I am having a bit of difficulty moving from a 15.6" laptop, but that's not going to keep me from sticking with the SB. What's of some concern is the fact I have done all the upgrades I know of and I'm still having some of the minor...

    Darn, looks like there's no JetDrive Lite 512 GB card yet!

    Best Practices for USB Drives with Surface Book?

    I'm guessing if I have two USB external drives I should connect them both directly to the two USB ports in my Surface Book. But if I want to use additional drives or sync my iPhone, etc., what's the best way to go? Should I keep my main external drive plugged into one of the USB ports and plug...

    Is there a shortcut to jump to the top of any screen, similar to clicking at the very top of the screen in the iPad?

    Got my new Surface Book

    Will you sync any data between your two devices and if so how? One Drive? I'm installing all my Office 365 apps right now. I'm hoping I can soon dump my old laptop with all its business, movie and music editing software as well as all my media, and also dump my iPad with all my business and...

    Got my new Surface Book

    Right now my new 16GB/512GM/i7 Surface Book is downloading software updates. I purchased it at Best Buy (the Microsoft store was out and they couldn't tell me whether any other MS store had it in stock, but the local Best Buy which was sold out told me where I could buy it). I turned it on and...

    How do you mobile users carry around your SPs and SBs?

    I currently use a 3rd gen iPad I take just about everywhere with me and for work, a 15" Dell laptop I don't take anywhere unless it's specifically to a client site. I'm looking at the SP4 or SB to replace both these devices but I'd like to know how those of you with these devices carry them...

    Do I Miss My Surface Pro 4?

    I would love to hear more about this. I don't know that I'd be editing 4K video on my new Surface (I'm currently deciding between the Pro 4 and the Book) but you're saying the SP4 was no better when it came to 4K editing? Do you think it might've made a difference if you had 16GB SP4?

    Could experienced SB and SP 4 users recommend a Surface for me?

    Thanks, Telstar, I think you're right. I just went to my local Microsoft store and while the Surface Book is an awesome machine and I would definitely love to have it, the price difference of almost a grand and the lower battery life for the SB in clipboard mode make me lean strongly towards...

    Could experienced SB and SP 4 users recommend a Surface for me?

    Thanks, Barry. Yes, the Dell is an older (about 5 or 6 years now) Lattitude which was very nice when I bought it but right, no SSD. I'm also hoping that with 16 and even 8 GB of RAM it won't need to do nearly as much memory swapping. I'm sure I can get a much nicer dedicated laptop for less...

    Could experienced SB and SP 4 users recommend a Surface for me?

    I'm ready to upgrade my Windows PC and I'd love a touch screen and something I can also use as a tablet so I wouldn't need a separate Windows laptop and iPad anymore. For work I do Lotus Notes development which I think is far more RAM than CPU intensive as well as web development, I browse the...

    Glad I decided to keep my Surface Book

    Does this mean if I buy a Surface Book today at the MS store it will have all the fixes applied?
