    Buy SP4 now or wait for SP5

    If the SP5 comes out in October, I would likely wait. You could probably pick up the 4 at a really good price once the 5 comes out or go with the 5 right off. I think paying full price now for the 4 would be a waste.

    SP3 won't turn on

    Try leaving it plugged in for a few hours then booting it while plugged in.

    Surface Pro in Movies and TV Shows

    I noticed what appears to be a Surface Pro in the Supergirl TV show. http://www.ew.com/sites/default/files/1457934336/107767_D1219b(1).jpg During the show, it just appeared to be used like a laptop with none of the special writing features. Has anyone else noticed any Surface Pros working...

    Screencasting Options?

    I am a speaker and I use the Surface Pro 3 for my presentations. Generally, I have used it as a normal laptop during presentations, connecting to projectors or TV screens via HDMI or VGA cables. But I have come to realize I am not using all the educational power of the Surface Pro 3. I have...

    Windows 10 Creators Update

    Any thoughts on the Windows 10 Creators Update? More info here: Windows 10 Creators Update: all the new features Microsoft didn't mention I certainly think the better pen support for Word is a good step. I am hoping we might get some of the Surface Studio software options on the existing...

    Use for Pen if I don't Draw

    Thanks ScottyS, I am a speaker so I do a lot of presenting. I must admit I have been using the Surface Pro 3 during presentations in the same way as my old laptop. Just to show the PowerPoints. I usually do have a bluetooth mouse with it and a small presentation clicker to advance the slides...

    Use for Pen if I don't Draw

    Thanks hughlie, I guess I was inspired by the Surface Studio YouTube ads. While the Surface Pro 3 doesn't have the capabilities of the Surface Studio, it made me wonder if I was missing some capabilities I wasn't using. I tried to test the pen today and found the batteries are dead. I will...

    Use for Pen if I don't Draw

    I don't draw and I type faster than I can hand write. And my hand writing sucks. So I have never used the Surface Pen. Is there a use for it I am missing?

    Microsoft is now more innovative than Apple

    The Surface Studio is amazing. Computer technology seemed to have plateaued and I don't even look at the Best Buy flyers any more for the latest and greatest computer equipment. When I saw the Surface Studio, this was the first time I was excited about a computer in years. I probably won't...

    Introducing Microsoft Surface Studio - Video

    This commercial blew me away. It looked like something Apple would have come up with, not staid and boring Microsoft. Comparing this to the latest Mac Pros it looks like Microsoft has taken the lead in innovating from Apple.

    Need a bluetooth mouse without a USB dongle

    I use the Microsoft Arc mouse with my Surface. Feels full size but folds flat enough to make travel a breeze.

    News Reader App

    I have been using NexGen for some time now and find it very useful. And I did find how to connect it to OneNote, so I regularly save articles that way.

    What software to use to recover your SP3 if lost or stolen

    You could try Lojack from Absolute. They have a tablet version.

    New member from Canada

    Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Just did my first presentation with it and it worked great. An no shoulder pain from lugging the old clunky laptop.

    SP4 may have NO Ports, Zero, None.

    A lot of my clients are non-profits who don't always have budgets for the latest equipment. A backup projector is a good idea, but where would I find a projector as light as the Surface Pro 3? :)

    SP4 may have NO Ports, Zero, None.

    Some of the TVs/projectors I plug into don't have HDMI so I have to connect via VGA. How does the signal get from the SP3 to the Belkin MiraCast adapter? Do you require WiFi access?

    Ear buds with microphones?

    I know it is common for most smart phones to accept ear buds with built in microphones. Will the Surface Pro 3 tablet do this as well? I was thinking of picking up a pair for travel.

    Decent Power Retention

    In my case, the Surface Pro 3 is replacing my old laptop so that is the battery life I am comparing it to and the Surface Pro 3 is much better at battery life than my Acer laptop was.
