I use my Surface 3 in exactly this way. Additionally, I do use it for Netflix and movies etc. But my primary use is for reading - PDFs and ePUBs. For PDF, you can use Drawboard (paid app), Xodo, Foxit Mobile Pro, among others. For ePUBs, I use Book Viser (paid app) and Book Bazaar (free...

But isn't turning off WIFI or initiating Flight Mode the same thing? The idea is to turn off the WIFI radio, correct?

I use it for all of the above, except, I don't use a KB with it. For me the S3 is a pure tablet and has replaced the iPad Air I used to use. But yes, I do find it is a bit unresponsive - well, more sluggish - at times. It is an excellent device regardless.

"Is it worth buying the new SP4 type cover to use on my SP3?" From what I have seen in pics and videos, I thought it was worth it. Yes, even at the cost MS wants for it. But from yesterday, I know - not think - that it is worth it. I know this because I got the SP4 type cover which I am using...

Not to hijack this thread, but is it worth having the Insiders' Build on the SP3 at this point in time? (I have it on my Win Phone, but that is another matter - though it is very stable).

I carry both my SP3 and S3 most of the time. So, I use a smallish NorthFace bag which allows me to put inside the SP3 in the Incipio sleeve it was originally sold in (some promotion at the release of the SP3 where I bought it) and the S3 in a generic nylon sleeve. The Pen is stashed in the bag...

Yeps...on my SP3 too.

Like me!!! Since I bought the SP3 (on release day in Canada), she has also traveled with me over the world and not once has she let me down. At first, insensitive as I was, I used to insult her presence by taking along an iPad Air, but later good sense prevailed (including at MS!!!) and I...

I have found that after the TH2 update, my SP3 (i5/ 128GB/ 4GB) is running a bit warmer than what it previously used to and yes, I think it is Edge which is the culprit. I do wish MS would speed up their optimization of Edge because I am loathed to use any other browser. As and when I get an...

Why...cost/ economy/ etc. reasons aside?

Tongue in cheek...yes...but you will have to buy a new device which has 4GB RAM...otherwise no!

If that's your handwriting, it is very good!

I use my SP3 to write (long papers and manuscripts) and for browsing (sometimes) and my S3 for reading extensively and for browsing (and other sundry web-related stuff like wasting time on Reddit). Edit: Though I will get the new dock and will hook up a monitor (or two) for when I am in my study.

Depends on what you mean by "creative things"!!! As for me, I am writing my two contracted books on it/ them!!! :)

Wow!!!! Taiwan is a US colony? Which world are you living in? And, as for the WIFI band etc., I bought my SP3 in Canada on the day it was released in the market and have been using it since in the UK (and other places in the world) with zero issues.

I have noticed the battery drain being less too.

I have also been traveling extensively with the S3 (and my SP3) and thus far have not faced this limited connection thing. My travels have taken me across Asia, Europe and North America. My S3 I bought in the UK while the SP3 I bought on the day it was released in North America (Canada to be...

I can confirm this. I reinstalled the Nov update using that Tool. Second time I did this because I thought it would solve the non-refreshing Mail Live Tile (which it did not do). But after the Nov update was done, there was a System Hardware Update (26/10) which reinstalled itself. I believe...

Hi all... I was wondering if you folks have run into this issue after updating to the Nov Update. Among the few glitches, I have noticed that the Mail app does not flip and nor does it refresh itself. I mean it shows that there are unread mails but those are ones that I have already been...

Hi all... After the Nov Update (TH2), it has been reported that we can use the Stylus with Cortana. But how? I can't seem to find how to use this on the SP3 (used in desktop mode). Any pointers would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
