    i7/512GB order it or not?

    I bought the i7 256gb version and mine has been issue free. The only time I have had the fan come on is when I did the first initial batch of updates (there were a lot of them) and when I'm on my fantasy football site with live score updating (it's a flash site so it's constantly updating, it's...

    attempted to buy at retailer - bad experience

    I buy stuff from BestBuy all the time but the only thing the employee helps me with is ringing it up. I don't say that to be arrogant, I research almost every purchase and when I go to the store I know exactly what I'm looking for. I prefer BestBuy because they are right by me and the...

    Concerns about SP3 cases.

    I have the i7 256gb model and the Moko and have no issues with the heat. There are slots in the case lined up with the vents on the SP3 so it doesn't hinder the vents at all. Reasons I went for this over others like the UAG is I liked the fact that it uses the SP3's kickstand, it has a slot to...

    Photoshop CS5 on SP3

    It's $9.99 per month for both Photoshop and Lightroom, the only downfall is if you don't renew your monthly subscription then you can no longer open the .psd files you created with it (I'm assuming CS5 cannot open a CC .psd file). Also if you are a photographer and you buy a newer camera you...

    VPN client and battery life

    With the VPN, once you are connected to netflix and logged in can't you disable it? I know with IP hiding software you can but not sure, this might help with battery life. Like others said turn the brightness down and look at using another browser. As far as browsers go it seems they are in...

    Three to Four Hour Battery Life

    I wish Microsoft would just release a power cover for the SP3, this would help a lot of people with their usage needs. On a side note, if you are not aware, the power cover for the SP2 does work on the SP3 but it obviously does not cover the entire screen due to the size increase. This might...

    Skin for Spur back

    Yes they do: http://www.stickerboy.net/pages/microsoft-surface-pro-3-skin-series . They've had them for a few months now, I got the I got the Metal Series Brushed Aluminum. It's pretty nice, has a little bit of texture to you and when you remove it there's no residue.

    Folio cases for SP3...

    I got the MoKo Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Case - Ultra Slim Lightweight Shell Stand Cover Case that Jeff has and like it a lot. I wish when it was folded up closed that the magnetic clasp could reach when the type cover is attached but not a big deal.

    Who is running without virus software?

    I stick with Windows Defender and then once a week run Malwarebytes and Spybot (both free on Cnet downloads), never had a problem.

    watching 4k video on the sp3...speakers and screen, amazing.

    4K looks good on the SP3, it looks crazy on an actual 4K TV.

    What Phone are you pairing with your SP3?

    I don't really pair mine but I enable the hotspot on my Galaxy S5 to get on the net when I'm not near wifi. Works good and speeds are surprisingly fast, I'm in Seattle.

    researching the surface pro 3

    I got my i7 256GB on the first day and no issues at all. As far as the Microsoft Complete coverage it adds a 1 year warranty so it's 2 year warranty in total (not sure if there is a 3 yr warranty) but the nice thing is if the glass cracks/breaks it's only a $50 deductible. The cost of the...

    Slight separation between bezel and glass

    I have the first issue of the plastic housing not being completely flush with the magnesium casing but not glass issues. My device is running perfect and honestly it's something you have to look for or run your finger across to even notice it. Plus I ordered a folio case for it so it should...

    Cool software that gives you control over the start button in the taskbar AND the Windows button!

    Another vote for ClassicShell, I've been using it since Windows 8 came out and never had a problem. They have updates every now and then and it's free :-)
