    Mirror Screen to Amazon FireTV

    It may seem a little spendy but keep in mind, it works perfectly without having to try and find work around. I spent $30ish on the Chromecast and wasn't thrilled about having to use Google Chrome and the mirroring was ok, not as responsive as the Microsoft Display Adapter so to me the extra...

    I got 2 hours of battery life!?

    Only other tip I can think of (if it wasn't already mentioned) is to disable unnecessary programs at start up.

    Mirror Screen to Amazon FireTV

    If there is I can't imagine it will be much as it's $60, if your a bestbuy member check your account as you might have some certificates you can use towards it. I actually bought 2, leave one connected to my TV and one in my laptop bag so I've always got it with me.

    Mirror Screen to Amazon FireTV

    I got the MS Adapter and it works great, nice thing is you don't have to connect it to your wireless network. It has performed great with everything I have thrown at it, I did play a 6GB file and it wasn't choppy but it wasn't butter smooth either but hey, it was a 6GB video file so what do you...

    Is there a SP3 portfolio that allows use of kickstand?

    I have this one and it works really well. The metal tab in the at the center edge will actually attache to a magnet on the side which holds the tablet however if you have the type cover attached it makes it just slightly thicker and the tab can't reach the magnet but not a big deal.

    Is anyone else's Windows Store down?

    Mine was down on Saturday on all three machines I tested, only reason it bugged me is because my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter finally showed up but I couldn't install the friggin app for it. The store was back up Sunday afternoon and I tried all the things mentioned and nothing worked.

    Why does the Surface Pro 3 get a bad rap in the media? My take.

    The only thing I prefer in the iPad is battery life and that's about it. I really wish Microsoft would release a power cover for the SP3; I know the one for the SP2 will work but I don't like the fact that it won't protect the entire screen when closed and in my bag... personal preference. I...

    Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter Review

    That's too bad it didn't work for you, I didn't have any lag issues with anything other than streaming video and that was about a full second lag but not an issue since I'm watching the TV and not the SP3 and it was smooth playing. My SP3 didn't heat up but I did not check the dongle so I'll...

    Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter Review

    I just picked the wireless display adapter this weekend and like it a lot, is there a way to create a shortcut for the project-display adapter? Would be nice instead of having to go into the Charms every time, not that it's hard or anything but I'd prefer to just make a shortcut.

    Microsoft Wireless Diplay

    Picked mine up Saturday but was unable to use it due to not being able to download the app (Metro Store was having issues). The store finally got their issues squared away and got to try it out Sunday, this thing is slick. Checked out pictures on it, video, browsing, launching Photoshop... was...

    black Friday surface pro 3

    Yes, that is the correct link. May also want to pick up a USB extension cable and USB wall adapter (if you don't already have one) just in case your TV does not have a USB plug-in. I've read some good reviews on it (not meant for serious gaming though), hopefully mine will arrive in the next...

    black Friday surface pro 3

    I got the bluetooth Arc Touch mouse and it's great, I have a sleeve for my SP3 which has a front pocket and with the arc mouse folded flat it's perfect. I ordered the wireless display adapter from Microsoft, this device has proven to be the elusive unicorn. I checked my local BestBuy online...

    How do you reindexed the device? Tried to Google it and nothing came up, thanks!

    Win 10 any better at scaling? adobe photo programs are killing my eyes!

    Are you using Photoshop and if so is it an older version of PS or CC? With CC you can change the scaling by going to Select Preferences > Experimental Features > Select Scale UI 200% For High-Density Displays (Windows Only) > Restart Photoshop. The only problem I found with this is it greatly...

    No photoshop?

    As others have stated it is not part of the purchase price but you can do a free 30 day trial to see if you like it: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/photoshop Not sure where you are located but in the U.S. it's $9.99 per month for Photoshop and Lightroom. If you are just into...

    Norton Identity Safe

    The SP3 is a full on computer, if the software states it's compatible with Windows 8 then you are good to go.

    To Surface 3 or not to...

    My i7 256gb has worked great since I got it but to be fair when I'm done and won't need it for a little while I just shut it down because it starts up so fast it's not an issue so I haven't experienced any of the hibernation issues others have mentioned.

    SP3 Malware?

    I run Malwarebytes and SpyBot, they seem to find pretty much everything. If there is still an issue maybe do a restore to an earlier point.

    attempted to buy at retailer - bad experience

    I miss the Circuit City and CompUSA as well; I had a CompUSA about 2 miles from my old place and would run down there all the time to pick up supplies. The one store that I'm shocked is still in business is Office Depot; every time I go in there it's like a ghost town, I don't know who they...

    Best Remote Desktop App for SP3

    I use TeamViewer and it has worked really good for me (used to be with LogMeIn but then they started charging). Main reason I use it is my grandparents and parents are always having issues with their computers so I just put all of their computers on my account and it makes things a lot easier...
