    Walked Into MS Wanting to Love the Surface Pro 3, but Didn't, What Am I Missing?

    I find product reviews like movie reviews, the critics really hate some movies,while I love them. The same can be said about opinions my friends have about certain movies, sometimes they will rave about it and I just don't get why after watching it myself. You be the judge and only then you can...

    Walked Into MS Wanting to Love the Surface Pro 3, but Didn't, What Am I Missing?

    Even for avid Windows users Windows 8.1 takes sometime to get use to and even more so if you are an Apple user. It's more about forming a new habit, a half hour with the SP3 won't allow you to truly discover the pros of the machine, the cons are easy to highlight (there are a few, but nothing...

    Monitors

    Asus VE248Q - $169.99 (after $20 rebate) on newegg Acer V246HL - $169.99 on newegg I use an Asus 24 inch monitor (it doesn't have a display port), but I have found through research and use that Asus delivers great quality at a reasonable price.

    Weight Supported on Hinge? (Canvas Mode)

    Maybe a third party cover, which doesn't use the kickstand, but allows you to use the case to stand up your device. http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Microsoft-Surface-Pro-Case/dp/B00KGOBFBS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1407781363&sr=8-8&keywords=surface+pro+3+case Also maybe a wedge foam pad might work as...

    SSD Swap Possible?

    From everything I read the only that is really replaceable on this unit is the battery and that is something MS would have to do for you. I would definitely avoid taking it apart, even if you were able to figure it out, it would certainly void your warranty. I miss the good old days when you...

    Screen Protector?

    I use Illumnishield HD screen protector on my SP3 and it is terrific, easily went on, works great with the pen and you can barely tell it's on. Many users have reported mixed reviews about the Matte and other offerings from them, but if you stick to the HD one, it works well...

    Screen Protector for SP3

    Please let us know with pictures! I have one on my Samsung S4 and I will never mess with non-glass screen protectors again. There are so many vendors for phones, but haven't found a legitimate review for the SP3 yet. Although I must say I am very satisfied with the Illumishield (the HD version...

    About the 1.7 Billion Dollars Lost

    Ctitanic, I agree with your write-up. I think the true goal of the SP3 was to showcase the next generation of Windows PCs, something other OEMs were very slow to adopt. Their process was lather, rinse, repeat or new processor, more memory, bigger hard drive. They forgot to innovate, so MS...

    Surface Pro 3 Pen Nib Replacement

    Call Surface support, they will send you 3 replacements, even if you aren't in the US it would be covered under their warranty period.

    Router for SP3

    After trying the latest stock firmware, stick with stock, much snappier and better speeds. With custom firmware I got speeds of 192mbps, with stock firmware it gets 702mbps.

    Router for SP3

    To tell you the truth, I have no idea, I know it allows you to make tweaks that experts like to use, none of the stuff I mess with. The reason I went with custom firmware is due to the negative reviews of the product when it was released. I hope they have fixed it since then. I am going to...

    Do I Need Additional Antivirus Protection for Surface Pro 3?

    I use norton and haven't noticed any slow down, I think the older versions from years ago did slow things down, but they have since corrected the issue and made the programs less resource hungry.

    Turn Screen Off Without Sleeping?

    So does the software above work to turn off the screen instead of stand-by? If it does, do we have to disable connected standby?

    Volume Keyboard Shortcut

    I don't think it's possible with the keyboard as is. Ever try this? http://www.autohotkey.com/ I have used it for other stuff, but never for remapping keys, I am not a programmer, but maybe it's possible. Something else I found that might help you out if you take the autohotkey approach...
