Out of the box, the resolution is set to 2160 x 1440 and the Desktop UI is scaled up to 150%. The Metro UI scales on it's own. The only time you would want to change it is if you connect to an external display, like i have done here. I'm connected to a 24" monitor at 1920 x 1080 so i scaled...

These two look interesting as well. Not too big, not too small. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KG9K74/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A4UCFL9LU89NR http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009JPBPWO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_9?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1JHXQIDTWG7EB

It doesn't have any slots cut out of the cover for the speakers. It also blocks the kickstand. The kickstand that is part of the case doesn't look as good. It looks like the keyboard is just sitting on the case, it's not held in place by anything.

Agree as well. He does have some valid points, and he did take the time to use it on an every-day basis. So by that standard his opinions are more valid than probably 99% of the commenters.

Is there any concern about having rare-earth magnets consistently in close contact to the screen?

What size? I don't see one made for the SP3, nor for the MacBook Air 11.6" (which is almost exactly the same size as SP3). Did you get the 13" version?, is it a bit roomy?

I think he was referring to the iPad in that quote. A pure consumption device. I think of the SP3 as 3 combined devices. 1. A laptop production device, using keyboard/mouse/touchpad. 2. A tablet consumption device using touch. 3. A OneNote notebook using the stylus.

Maybe put a little lotion on your hands?

I was looking at this one: SHARKK® Backlit Keyboard Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Ultra-Slim Illuminated Keyboard It's pretty cheap, but has great reviews. Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 for PCs, Tablets, Smartphones - Black This would be my first choice if it wasn't so expensive.

The Weather App was a nice surprise. Current weather/week -> Hourly -> Radar. Big, pretty, and it's super fast. That's exactly what i want from a weather app. The XBox One Music app is very nice... but what's with having to pay a monthly fee on mobile devices, even if you're only using...

Laptop, yes. But then i was using an old Vista tablet convertible anyway, so no surprise. Desktop, i just rearranged my bedroom so my SP3 is now hooked up to my 24" and primary mouse/kbd. So i'll give it a try. The old Dell XPS is still nearby and quickly available via Splashtop. So far...

Just FYI, these work in various modes: How to take a screenshot on your Surface Method 1: Press and hold the Windows button, and press down on the lower volume button on the side of your Surface. Your screen will dim a little for a moment when you do this. (this saves to \Pictures\Screenshots)...

Reinstall Adobe Flash.

Nope. While you can disable the touchpad entirely, you'd have to do it from device manager and that's hardly a good solution. Microsoft did release an App called Trackpad Settings app for Windows in the Windows Store, but it's for the SP2 and as of yesterday it doesn't support the new Type...

I posted some of it here: http://www.surfaceforums.net/forum/microsoft-surface-pro-3/9325-surface-pro-3-tips-tricks.html I watched all his videos, great stuff there so definitely worth making people aware. He hasn't posted much in the last month though :(.

Basically Chrome is a wreck in Win 8.1. And it's a bigger wreck on hi-res screens. Put the two together and it really shows what a great job Microsoft did with IE11. It's been reported many times and it's been going on for over a year... Google really dropped the ball on this one. If i...

I looked around quite a bit but all the ones in the big retail stores (Best Buy, Target, Meijer) are cheap or ugly or both. One suggestion (seriously) is the Apple Store. The Macbook Air has an 11.6" screen and is about the same thickness as the SP3 (w typecover) So sleaves and cases made...

Newseen app for Windows in the Windows Store Free. News aggregator. Highly recommended. Just downloaded this one today, haven't tried it yet.
