    Surface Pro x alternatives if no SP5

    I really wish MS would be a little more forthcoming about their product plans - like is there gonna be a SP5 or no - is there gonna be a S4 or no? This playing coy and perpetual hide and seek is getting a bit grating.

    Surface Pro x alternatives if no SP5

    Not that you Not that you guys don't know about this, but for the record, here is a short review of the Samsung Galaxy Book.

    Surface Pro 5 Discussion

    If I had not had to replace my SP3 with the SP4 (almost a year that I have had it) that I am currently using (the screen was yellowing fast on the SP3 and I have had it since the day it was released in North America/ Canada), I would have most certainly opted for the SP5. But from what I have...

    Anyone got the new Win 10 update on (creators) - how does it run?

    Thanks! Edit: This Samsung Galaxy 10.6 looks quite good to use as a pure tablet. I wonder how the Android version of it would be like - especially the inking side of things. Edit 2: "Measured by the single-core Geekbench score, the 7th gen. Intel Core m3-7Y30 “Kaby Lake” powered Samsung Galaxy...

    Anyone got the new Win 10 update on (creators) - how does it run?

    Yes. But in the event that MS does not announce one - then? You know how MS is!!!!!

    Anyone got the new Win 10 update on (creators) - how does it run?

    There is one other thing I noticed - but this seems to affect the S3 only and not my SP4. Some of the tiles - and it is always the same ones - seem to lose everything on it - no logo - no info (relating to the app) - just nothing. Some of then guilty parties were: Skype, Mail, Nebo, Readit...

    Anyone got the new Win 10 update on (creators) - how does it run?

    Interesting! Is this a 3:2 AR or 16:9? And, the battery life? Does it support the use of the Pen? Lastly, what W10 tablets are there (or immediately forthcoming) which are comparable to the S3? My unit is probably on its last legs. The screen is yellowing horribly and there are these galaxies...

    battery after creators update

    Thanks. In my case the offender was Chrome which was running in the background!!!!

    battery after creators update

    Well, my problem is not the battery life which seems to be as before, but my SP4 is heating up more than usual. The fans seem to be on all the time or most of the time. Any ideas?

    PDF/EPUB on Edge (Creators Update)

    Thats a shame really. Would have been real nice to have those capabilities "in house" so to speak. But thanks for the update Jeff.

    PDF/EPUB on Edge (Creators Update)

    Thanks. Does that mean that such capabilities are not in the offing then? Like maybe in a soon to be dropped update?

    Invasion of the Release Preview - Creators Update Ver1703 Build 15063.11

    Yeah...seriously...on both my machines, indexing is done, all apps updated, no Windows updates pending...but the fan's still on (SP4), its warm to the touch (also on S3). And, battery drops at a much faster rate - well, at least it is noticeable - than before. Why does MS do this all the time...

    PDF/EPUB on Edge (Creators Update)

    Hi all... I was just wondering if any one knows if and when we will be able to annotate PDFs on Edge and do stuff like make highlights and add notes to EPUBs within Edge... Not having these capabilities, I think, detracts from the ease of use case that I think Edge is claiming for itself...

    Invasion of the Release Preview - Creators Update Ver1703 Build 15063.11

    ...so Edge does not allow for annotating on PDFs and highlighting on EPUBs etc? If yes, thats a let down...back to Xodo/ LightReader then...

    Invasion of the Release Preview - Creators Update Ver1703 Build 15063.11

    I notice a few other things...(1) the fans seem to be on all the time and the SP4 is running quite warm (2) can't annotate PDFs on Edge - and I am guessing can't highlight ePUB on Edge either.... Edit: Btw, both apply to the S3 too!!

    Getting hot

    Edge is a rather different browser as compared to IE. The problem with Chrome is endemic to Chrome and how it has been engineered at the moment. And, as to whether Windows has improved or not, well, the common consensus is that W10 is a sharp improvement on earlier iterations of the OS and...

    Battery life

    Why is Chrome such a battery killer? Is it not well optimized for W10? Also, your sig says "Surface 4"!!!!! Do you know something we don't???:D:D:D

    M3 vs. i5

    That looks interesting. But not sure about the aspect ratio. I think the Surface nailed that perfectly.
