Yep, actually much worse than 3 months ago. Had it freeze 4 times this morning. And I have turned off the Marvel adapter and attached an external WiFi adapter which gets excellent reception.

I have not installed 8.1. I think it is within the realm of possibilities that I have a flaky WiFi adapter and antenna, but it works sometimes. Not seen a WiFi adapter test.

I have messed with the WiFi settings on my SP (notably deactivating Selective Suspend), spent hundreds of dollars upgrading my network, spent hours moving stuff that attends the signal without getting decent and continues WiFi out of my SP. Everything from the old Palm pilots, to the notebooks...

Broke down and bought the Amped adapter. Put it in and it seems to have ended slow connections, incomplete page loads and freezing. I was getting them even with decent connections. Got it clipped to my Moko cover. Leaves me wondering if I got a SP with a bad Marvel chip, or the whole SP...

Thought I'd mention that the Sculpt Comfort Mouse worked great up till this Tuesday. Now the SP has a problem and won't connect. Removed it and tried to re add it. The Sp saw the mouse but wouldn't connect. Tried this several ways without success. Spent a few hours googling and searching on...

Wait. Next Atom chip should get the SunSpyder numbers where they ought to be and (I think) give you the additional needed memory, and drop the weight. Microsoft or not depends on what comes out. Taking the money I allocated for the wife's SP and putting it on her new Lexus. I can't imagine...

I've gone from a close to top of the line (year old) Linksys to a top of the line Asus which says (and small net builder confirms) gets 50% better range. I added high galn external antennas which get 3db better power at the point of service. Then Tuesday (strange day of the month, right) my...

I have/had a WiFi problem and ordered an Asus ac rt66u which has better signal strength in the Small Net Builder tests. It also has 3external antennas AND a Merlin WiFi chip like the SP. It is not losing the connection in my main location as my old (1 yr) Cisco top of the line did. I have...

Amazon uses pop up windows for different things, so I guess it is sporadic as in inconsistent. Generally touch doesn't work and I have to reach for the mouse when a window pops up. Also Amazon pages regularly incompletely load and freeze. I was just shopping for dog beds and it froze 3 times...

I'm having an issue with popup Windows which I suspect maybe some combination of magnification and font. I get empty windows clipboard popup in popup - no copy or paste just empty box. I mainly see it in Gmail new compose, but have seen it in Amazon selections also. Be interested in...

I found the wedge mouse uncomfortable and unreliable. It worked on a mouse pad and some material but didn't on my khaki pants leg or the couch. It also got misplaced a lot under newspapers, papers and such because it is so small. The only upside was it packed well. I just got the MS...

The seller told me there is no pen holder. I saw the loop in the middle, but couldn't figure out what it was for. I added one of these on the side: Amazon.com: Leuchtturm1917 Self Adhesive Pen Loop Notebook Accessory: Office Products I find I can use it on the lap, and with the lap 'n go lap...

I ordered it and a pen holder (seller said there was not one - use the magnet (makes you wonder if they actually tested their prototype.)) Certainly can be colorful. I think it will have to be on the lap desk to use on the couch with a keyboard.

I've got one for my kindle fire and I really like the way it holds and protects the corners without getting in the way elsewhere. Says it is compatible with touch and type covers, but don't see a picture of it all folded up together. Looks "lapable". Lots of colors (always afraid of leaving...

Dos, Don't think so. I live in a nice beach retirement/second home community and the anti W8 sentiment is growing. Three business owners working from home dislike it (one is paying MS for small business services and seriously pi$$ed -everything worked before being sold W8 and the service...

Just spent 2.5 hours fixing a neighbor's non-touch Win 8 laptop. What a pain in the butt. You can't get to a lot of stuff without arcane keystrokes and cursor positioning over invisible places. Had figure out how to stick desktop, control panel and other tiles to the start screen by keyboard...

How about you attach your keyboard and set it up on your lap and take a picture. I assume that means the front has to be attached, since at least for me, the easel thing isn't stable/comfortable. Wonder if MS is going to announce an accessory to deal with this next week.

Mine is still losing connectivity and not reconnecting since the 14 May update. Find I can disconnect and reconnect successfully. Looks like it is going to be a month till MS puts out a fix to a problem they caused, assuming they do fix it. Pretty disappointing. Every device in the house...

It runs heavy apps (with the exception of some gaming apparently), the issues are form factor. Is the screen large enough, can you use the app without a keyboard and mouse, how do you get it stable on your lap with the keyboard attached, are you risking it with the weight and poor balance to...

So , how does the Manvex work on the lap with a Type cover? Does it protect it adequately protect the SP with and without the touch/type attached? Does insulating the SP with the Manvex significantly affect heat retention? I've held off because I really wanted a back and corner case that uses...
