    Well I tried to hang in there with SB and SP4

    Yes y3p's trackpad not wonderful, but it will only be used occasionally to program equipment for which I need windows. It was 500.00 open box deal at Best Buy and it is thin and light with decent battery. I'll be back once sp4 gets resolved. Ipad and yoga 3 pro both fit in once small case and...

    Well I tried to hang in there with SB and SP4

    I returned my SB now today I will return SP4. I really like these devices but they are aggravating with crashing and battery issues. I tried SP3 last year and had hoped SP4 would be better this year. I will go to 2 devices Yoga 3 pro for only when I need to hook up and program equipment with...

    SB - Hard to take quick handwritten notes in one note with clipboard attached.

    I am in the same boat. I returned my SB and now using my SP4. I picked up the ever so rare apple pencil today because it was the only one around for 4 states! I will decide tonight about going the Yoga 3 pro plus iPad pro route. I really like the SP4 but I can just seem to squeeze 5 hrs from it...

    SP4 i5 Much better battery without Hello and Cortana

    I seem to be getting better battery life with Hello and Cortana turned off. It may last me through the day now until MS comes up with a fix.

    SB - Hard to take quick handwritten notes in one note with clipboard attached.

    I am trying to get a feel for the daily use of the SB. While researching things I find it hard to jot notes with the pen with the screen attached without looking like a first grader did it. This where the sp4 kickstand shines and offers stability over the SB's wobbly screen. I guess that's what...

    Just some venting here, maybe someone from Microsoft is listening?

    First of all I am a long time Apple user and I must say my MacBook pros, ipads, and iphones, generally just work like they are supposed to. Apple is not without their own quirks but they generally get fixed in a reasonable amount of time. Secondly, I do work on windows machines and support many...

    Half price type cover !

    I went to Best Buy with the intention to purchase the bright blue type cover. I did a double take when I saw they had 2 regular blue type covers open box for $65.00. So I couldn't see spending $65 extra on the bright blue one. Watch for deals!

    I'm Leaning Towards the i5 Over the M3

    I am getting way better battery life from my I5 than my m3. I have had an m3 for a few weeks and have not been happy with the battery life! Today I picked up an I5 4 128 and after 3 hours I am at 65%. This is smoking my m3. I am wondering if there may be something wrong with the m3? I would get...

    New Surface Book Owner :)

    I too am happy with the SB. I bought the SB and the SP4 and doing my own battle to see which to keep. I really wanted to keep the sp4 do to its small size, but it's battery life is not up to par and the keyboard keeps becoming non functional. I am done with sp4 as I was done with sp3 last year...

    So irritating! sp4 typecover never responds after wake

    The stupid type cover never responds after wake. I always have to pull it off and reattach for it to start working. Even a reboot wont fix it. Anyone else having this issue?
