Yeah, they need to fix the battery drain issue when using Chrome. I put up with it because I have a couple chargers that are handy. I like IE for lots of reasons, but with the 'modern' version not supporting plugins and the desktop not working reliably with LastPass, I just can't make myself...

Well after a couple days horsing around with this 10130 build, it is definitely time to go back to W8.1. Until and unless they get touch useage a heck of a lot better, I'll stick with W8.1 as long as I can. But recovery is a royal PITA on the Surface Pros! On my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro even after...

Thanks for that. I can't believe I didn't actually think of that, must be my old age creeping up on me again!! :)

I tried to do that, but the ..\LocalService directory doesn't have AppData folder in it. :(

I put the 10130 on mine last night. Install was smooth and easy, BUT too many things just still don't work right that I'm taking it back to 8.2 1. New mail app is fine, but won't work with iCloud mail and you can't even get to the real settings to try to fix that. 2. Tapatalk still crashes...

One issue I notice they didn't talk about is the plethora of 'free' apps that are nothing but trials. I have no problem with a trial or 'lite' version, but it needs to be specifically described as being such. That isn't happening in all too many instances.'

I don't think the radius function is there in the desktop version of OneNote, only the free 'modern' version.

Me too! While I prefer IE modern in many ways its lack of support for plugins and extensions make it a PITA to deal with. I use Chrome in modern mode and it works well enough. Did they ever fix the battery eating problem in the release version?

Mine went from 1Tb to 10Tb pretty soon after they started the 'unlimited' space. Got an email that said I could get more just by asking.

Because of that and because the Previews seem to want to booger the recovery partition, I've avoided putting it on the SP Pros. Oddly, on the Lenovo Yoga Pros, the Preview doesn't bother the recovery partition at all and recovering to factory setup is easy even if sometimes irritating as after...

I've gotten the Office 16 Beta via my Office 365 subscription. I installed it on both my Yoga 2 Pro and new-to-me Surface Pro 3. While it works quite well for dealing with my outlook mail account, on the Surface Pro 3 it will not work with my iCloud stuff. Just hangs wanting to be logged into...

I agree that the design of the SPs so far precludes anywhere close to the 15 hours Dell is quoting (I'd like to see independent test verifying that is actually true), but they could get more out of them than they are now. I have an i7/8Gb/256Gb Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with QHD screen (3200x1800?)...

Accents and use of words sure can be funny, well... Except when they are frustrating!! :) In general I can deal with most accents just fine because when I was in the Navy I went to many countries and often visited areas in those countries where English was far from the 1st language and often...

Macs do have the best trackpads, and the external Magic Trackpad is just a bigger and better version. I've got a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and this trackpad is also excellent. When I had the SP3, I noticed that the trackpad was much better than the SP1's, and only a little less better than the MacBook...

I've used Macs and Windows boxes for many, many years and have only been taken to completely reinstall the OS once in all that time. And it didn't fix the issue. :( That's about all I remember about the incident it was too long ago to remember all the details. I still used lots of tech even...

I have had a few interactions with AppleCare over the years. Always talked to someone who was easy to understand on the phone, and they always went the extra mile to help. I won't say perfect, just head and shoulders above the 3 incidents with MS support I've had. Note that 2 of the...

That makes more sense. The iPad is primarily a consumption device and does what it does very well. It isn't and wasn't designed to take the place of a more conventional computer though many have tried!! :)

Since I do a lot more on my Macs than email and internet browsing, I will disagree with your assessment. Word processing, spreadsheets, music engraving, video and audio projects and a slew of others. For some even using MS applications to do it. And if there is something I just have to have...

I bought a SP1 back when the SP2 came out, and over these past holidays bought a SP3. Gave my sister the SP1 and ended up taking the SP3 back as it didn't quite meet my needs, especially considering the price paid. Very premium price, very premium gear! All was good up to that point. But I...

For road warriors where battery life and weight and at the top of the must have list, there is little competition for the MacBook Air.
