    OFFICIAL I pre-ordered my Surface Pro 3

    Same here, ordered on 6-20 (black type cover and i7 256gb) and the type cover shipped right away. My i7 still shows it will ship by 8-1 (I'm in the U.S.); I kind of wished they would have shipped everything together only because if there is an issue with the type cover it will be well over 30...

    Upgrading to i7 Surface Pro 3?

    I went with the i7 256gb model, I know myself well enough to know that I'd always be wondering if the i7 performed better had I gone with an i5. I also look at it in terms of when I go to resell it down the road, the i7 will fetch more money. I have a very small 500gb external hard drive that...

    IE 11 Doesn't Work With Surface Pro 3

    Did it come loaded with IE 11 or was that one of the initial updates you did? If you can, roll it back to IE 10. Control Panel-Programs and features-in the left hand pane click on "view installed updates"-in top right corner in the "search installed updates" field enter "explorer". This...

    Good accessories for SP3

    As I wait for my i7 256gb to show up I've already purchased a few accessories. I wanted to find a folio case of some sort but all the ones I found have a ribbon for the kickstand only allowing it to go back so far so I picked up the Targus sleeve at bestbuy...

    IE Not Displaying ESPN.com Embedded Video

    Maybe add it to trusted sites? In IE go to Tools-Internet Options-Security Tab-click on Trusted Sites (has green check mark as icon)-click on Sites button and then in the address field add the main domain, probably something like "http://www.espn.com" (without the quote marks) and then click...

    Anyone able to create hotspot on Surface Pro 3?

    Maybe your provider has caught onto this trick and found a way to block it? If possible try it with your old laptop that it did work on to verify that it's still good.

    Where is my WIN 8.1 disk & product key?

    I think all manufacturers have gone away from the discs. I got a Dell CPU about 2 years ago and when setting it up a message appeared that I should make a back up myself.

    First impressions & problems with the SP3

    When you think of how many of these units were sold yesterday and you only see these few comments I wouldn't worry about it.

    i3 / i7 Models shipping Aug 1

    I'm in the US and it's showing 8/1 but the prices have also come down (I'm guessing to help compensate for the type cover). Surface Pro 3 - 64GB / Intel i3 $719.10 Surface Pro 3 - 128GB / Intel i5 $899.10 Surface Pro 3 - 256GB / Intel i5 $1,169.10 Surface Pro 3 - 256GB / Intel i7 $1,394.10...

    Why would you EVER preorder??

    Only reason I'm thinking of pre-ordering a i7 model from TigerDirect is I live in WA and we have BestBuy, Amazon, CDW and obviously Microsoft here. Going through TigerDirect saves me about $150 in sales tax (dont' have to pay it) so that will pay for the keyboard. I won't get it on launch day...

    Fastest way to get a SP3?

    First I would confirm with BestBuy that they will have them on the 20th, I read in another forum that a member was told the BestBuy stores will lag 2 days behind the Microsoft Store. I believe if you pre-order from the Microsoft Store you can select pick-up at a local store (seems to be...

    is SP3 really "in stores" - can i go check it out?

    I think if you ordered it they are going to try and have it delivered on launch date or you can pick it up in the Microsoft store. Someone posted that BestBuy will lag about 2 days behind the Microsoft store but we won't know for sure until the 20th. Only reason I'm purchasing from BestBuy...

    is SP3 really "in stores" - can i go check it out?

    I had a chance to play with one for about 10 minutes at the local BestBuy store on Saturday. I have never owned or played with a Surface before so I really didn't know what to expect. I was impressed with the device in all honesty. It felt snappy, the pen tracked well when hovering above the...

    To Be SP3 Owners

    Sorry I'm not a huge hardware techie, but what are the advantages of the broadwell over the haswell? I did a quick search and all I really saw was a claim for a 40% gpu performance increase. I would be using this for photoshop, VPN into work computer, email websurfing, microsoft office and...

    SP3 Reviews

    Decent reviews, really looking forward to the i7 Pro versions coming out at the end of August. This will be my first Surface, been getting by with an iPad 2 and the battery is finally dying so it's time to upgrade. If all you want to do is surf the net, facebook and light email then an iPad is...
