    Surface Book - Which Model?

    I have a similar adapter and it's a perfect solution for the SB, nothing to snag.

    Cannot disable lock screen after Ann Update

    I'm having the same issue with my Surfaces, and tried all the same hacks. I don't have a link to point you to, but I read somewhere online that the lock screen can no longer be disabled on Win10 Pro, only the Home version. No idea why.

    Surface Book - Which Model?

    I have the base model and added a 128GB microSD card for media storage. After all the updates (including the AU update) I am having zero problems, although to be honest the only problem I had in the past was with the Sleep function not working properly. I've been hibernating instead ever since...

    The 'Much Criticised' SB Fulcrum Hinge

    I agree with the last two posters. I have had no "wobble" problems, no usability issues, and the detachable screen is a real treat. I think this is a beautifully engineered device.

    The 'Much Criticised' SB Fulcrum Hinge

    Nope, I'm with you. I also like that the keys didn't have to be recessed because of the gap.

    SP3 Running Wonderfully with 10 Anniversary Update and Ad Block Plus

    Ditto from me too. I'm really happy to have swiping back for internet pages when in tablet mode, and Edge is greatly improved with Adblock (I haven't tried Adblock Pro yet). I've installed Win10 AU on three desktops (homebuilt), two tablets (my SP3 and an HP Stream 7 --- now that was a...

    Problems with updating and Microsoft Dock

    It may be the OS, not the hardware: I did a quick search and it looks like any version earlier that Office 2007 is not compatible with Windows 10.

    Worth waiting for SB2?

    I'm one of those not having any significant issues. Sleep is still weird so I hibernate instead, but other than that I've been very pleased with the device.

    Standard charger with Surface pro 4

    I just compared the power supplies that came with my SP3 and base model SB, and they're both model 1625 35W (I can't find the wattage noted on the devices, that number came from doing some online research).

    Just about to buy surface book questions

    If you've been following the posts you'll have noticed some concerns/complaints about issues with the SB. I have had very few problems, and they've all been resolved with the updates. I don't think that's luck. I think it's more likely that I have fewer hardware problems because the base...

    Including the model I bought. <sigh>

    Just about to buy surface book questions

    Absolutely, it's big enough for Word, Excel, and the PowerPoint presentations I create. When I'm travelling I also use it to watch Netflix movies when I can't patch it to the TV in my room with the adapter cable I bought (like when they block the HDMI ports).

    Just about to buy surface book questions

    I purchased the base model and haven't had any regrets, for a couple of reasons. First, I have a desktop computer I built for gaming and other heavy duty services so I didn't need those capabilities in a portable device. Second, and more importantly to me, the base model fit into my budget...

    Windows 10 question

    I've been running Win10 on my SP3 since it released in July and since installing the latest build it is very stable now. I don't have any issues with performance or battery life, and even though YMMV I say go for it.

    Poll Buying a Book Friday... storage question

    I think there are clear advantages to both, which I why I never sold my SP3 as I had originally planned (I opted for the budget hit instead :p). The screen and the keyboard on the SB are to die for but when I'm flying I prefer the SP3, it fits better on those little food trays. Both have...

    Poll Buying a Book Friday... storage question

    I bought the base system with 128GB, and I haven't yet gone beyond half the storage available. I use OneDrive for some storage and a thumb drive for media. The SB will take an SD card if you need it, I just haven't yet. I don't have a lot of applications installed, just Office 2016, and old...

    Thanks for the clarification, I didn't read your post closely enough.

    I switched from a MacBook Pro to a Surface Pro 3 one month ago

    Just a heads up, the snipping tool has been in final release for a while and is available in Win10. I use it often. Regarding sleep issues, have you installed all the firmware updates? Some SP3s had sleep issues but the firmware fixes solved them for me. Also, you didn't mention if your SP3...
