Yeah the camera is dismal, I don't use it much, but you would think MS would have put in something better than a cheap $10 camera on a $1000+ machine. It doesn't bother that much as I don't use it often, but I completely understand why some people are disappointed.

I think it's only for Windows Phone and the iphone/ipad. The camera on the SP3 isn't that great, maybe that's why it's omitted. Try genius scan as an alternative, however the camera is limited in what it can do. Take a read of the issues people have had...

I am an adult and a student in business school and I have used the SP3 for crunching what seems to be endless data and financial modeling and it has done it without any hiccups, another example of real world usage. Video editing and gaming isn't the only thing computers are used for. I bought...

glad it worked out for you :)

Working in finance, I can tell you that the author of the article is taking a lot of liberties with how he got to his figures, he can speculate all day long, but it's a guess at best. Did MS lose money? Sure, but a software company doesn't become successful hardware maker overnight and the...

Thank you for posting about your experience, real world scenarios really make the SP3 shine, versus I can't do crazy video editing or play games threads over and over again. You are using the SP3 as it was designed to be used, at least that's how I think it was meant to be used. Now go get that...

This is a good resource, super geek talk, look at the table for how to maintain your battery: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_charge_when_to_charge_table Don't let it discharge all the way before recharging, it increases wear on your battery.

The extended 2 year MS policy ($150) covers accidental damage for a $50 deductible, I think my dog ate my surface pro 3 would count

Why would they keep calling me when I bought the extended warranty 5 weeks ago, shouldn't they have my current information if they work for MS? In any case, it's up to you if you want to answer the call and buy it or it's just as easy to call yourself and buy the extended coverage if you are...

Maybe the email is legit, but the phone calls aren't per Microsoft support.

I have gotten two calls, it always seems to go straight to voicemail. The caller says they are from the Microsoft store customer support team and then try to sell you a warranty, funny thing is that I already have the warranty. It looks like a scam. I got a voicemail from Ashley tell me to call...

Yes, it's much improved!

I posted this in a similar thread: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers In Step 3 the instructions in step 4 should be mrvlpcie8897.inf I didn't even uninstall the driver, just installed over the existing install and it worked for me.

1) try to re-pair your pen and see of that solves it, if not contact MS support and they will send a replacement 2) When you hold the power button down a few seconds it always brings up the slide to shutdown pc, always has for me. Just try to press the button briefly.

I have used Photshop with the i5/8gb model without problems, then again I don't anything crazy with photshop to give you any real data. For my light usage of Photoshop there weren't any problems.

Have you run the latest windows update? I think the July 16th update solved this issue. You can also try to re-install the drivers: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers

Maybe you have malware that is slowing down your system? Try AdwCleaner: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

Playing games or using photoshop wouldn't cause a ring to appear in glass, glass needs to be heated up to 450C to even begin melting. Most likely it's a bad batch of SP3s, we have seen quality control issues on these units before, go to the store and have it swapped out and I would do the...
