Just so I understand this, the first screen shot is speed from an Ethernet cable to the internet and the second is speed from wireless to the internet?

@ManUnited A lot of people have already give you plenty of suggestions on how to improve battery life, I wouldn't discount their help. At this point, looks like every suggestion is falling short of your needs, so maybe you were wooed by Microsoft inappropriately. I hope you are within your...

Now that I think about it, I use the keyboard a lot less than before, maybe I am picking up new habits.

True, he should give it a shot and hopefully that fixes it. But, a Thermometer sign is never a good sign.

It means the SP3 is really hot and needs to cool down for a few minutes. I would take it to the store and swap it out, looks like the update messed up somewhere.

The 4GB vs 8GB has been discussed numerous times on this forum, I suggest you do a search. The answers always come down to what are you going to use it for, for any editing or heavy tasks more ram can only help. http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/4-gb-ram-8-gb-ram-huge-difference.10220/...

I use the one below, I had the 11 inch one but it was to tight so I got the 13 inch one. Very sturdy: http://www.booqbags.com/us/sleeves/viper-hardcase/VHC13-GFT

There were quite a few threads about cases and covers I merged them all. This way we have one robust thread.

Moved to Accessories forum.

Only the Matte version. I use the HD version and there isn't any wear on the pen tip.

Btw excel modeling/simulations are data heavy tasks, that is why it dips to 5-6 hours as it utilizes all my Ram and the CPUs ramp up. When using one-note, word, powerpoint, and other office applications I can get 7 hours or more easily. Just to make that clear.

You have to tinker with settings, the 9 hours quoted by MS is if you do nothing but use the internet, was it a marketing ploy, of course. I do more than just surf the web and watch Netflix, so I average 7 hours. When running excel models that dips down to 5-6 hours. You have to make adjustments...

I never knew MS was comparing the SP3 to the MBP, I always thought the aim was to compare the SP3 against MBA.

Your post is a perfect example of your passion for Apple and how sometimes passion blinds people from both sides sometimes of the fence, which is fine, but don't take it personally if you do the same thing you are accusing other people of doing. You think that the ad campaigns from MS and Apple...

I am not sure what the purpose of this thread is but to continue even more hostility towards apple users. I have visited mac rumors and read comments from Apple users after any article or post referring to the SP3 and I can tell you the hostility is endless and very condescending, nothing...

Just curious, what SP version do you use?

4-5 hours battery life? not sure where you got that from, once I turned of background notifications I easily get 7 hours average. I use office all day and it doesn't get hot and I used office for data crunching, again it does it fine. Some users have had issues with heat, but mostly they are...

In all fairness he did have a question mark, right? So he was just wondering, in any case I think we are beyond this now. His question was answered, it indeed is not a design defect, but part of the design. I will be closing this thread now.

It looks like it was designed to be there, please don't pick at it. My SP3 has it as well, picking might cause other problems.
