I don't surf very much, mostly discussion forums and usenet.

I get about 5 hours if I don't play games or do video. Social and other 'net stuff doesn't put too much of a tax on the battery. With the Power Cover, I get a little over 7 hours under the same circumstances. But games, even the simple Modern UI ones, sure warm things up and start the battery...

Welcome to the forum!! The original Surface Pro is what I've got too and it may very well end up replacing my MBPr in the near future. These days I don't do any actual work as I'm retired and the MBPr is more than I need and I can sell it and get a significant % of original cost back if I sell...

As a college student, you know that money is an issue all the time. With that in mind... What is the SurfacePro you have now not doing for you? If it does all you want or need to do, then the only real benefits to it are a longer battery life and a bigger screen. The battery life on your...

A little follow up. The SP1 will remain as it is. My primary tablet. The 128Gb SSD+128 SDXC card and the 4Gb of RAM make it very suitable for that as well as some lighter laptop duties. I had thought to make it a stationary unit with the dock I have, but it is a little lacking for running...

Security Essentials was replaced by the newer Defender in Win8.1. I use Defender and haven't had any problems, but then I don't go to those sites well known for malware of all sorts either.

It is certainly something to give consideration to. The financials around the Surface line are not good at this point. So how long will MS be willing to lose money is a valid question. Of course, if they can somehow get some sales traction and get to at least a break-even point, it won't be...

You don't have to be humble... :) If I did a laptop, the one I'm considering is a 15" HP Beats @$600 Or an all-in-one HP 23" Beats @$1000 While I am actually leaning towards the laptop or desktop, I'm still hesitating and procrastinating. :) BTW, what is a good piece of software for...

I've been a Mac guy for quite a few years now, but after taking a hard look at the direction Apple is taking with the UI in Yosemite and finding out how much it strains my eyes, I'm thinking of changing things up. Currently I have an SP1, Acer i3 laptop and a MacBook Pro w/Retina. The Acer...

3.2.0.2

Got it, bug fixed and I like the new changes.

Got the upgrade. When starting the app it show 'read only', selection purchase is immediate and it goes to full use. But completely closing and restarting shows 'read only' every time requiring me to click on the purchase button. The difference is that it is immediate when you click on 'buy'...

Apps from the app store are all touch enhanced, that's a big difference. And most desktop apps that app store app counterparts are more powerful, with more features than the app store app.

Got it just now. Came up as trial, when I selected 'buy it', it went through the process of buying it and then said I already owned it and it wasn't bought again. Now things are right. Great job!!

I tried installing and reinstalling and it didn't help. Just for info.

I'm on a Surface Pro running Win8.1 Intel.

Add this to your issues... :) I bought the app a bit ago, today an update showed up and now it shows 'trial' and 'read only'. When I click 'buy app' it shows I already own it but still is set to 'read only' and the selection is grayed so I can't change it. Please fix as soon as you have...

I'm 70 and started with special purpose computers while in the Navy. When I retired went to work for a local company doing S-100 computers and programming and then on to PCs and networks. Worked both in sales, design and service as that was the way it was in small companies early on. Now I've...

I have read there and it does seem to be a case of a good one os good, but there are issues with quite a few and the only fix is to replace.

I hate ad supported apps!! I have and will continue to buy apps, even some that have minimal use for me. Most are very inexpensive and a few bucks to the developer just encourages more apps. And we sure need more apps covering the gaping holes in coverage. Yeah, I know we could use desktop...
