Aside from what @Exhile mentioned which is all correct, also consider that you are entering a Masters' program - probably 2 years. So you will need a machine that lasts you at least that long. Given that, if I were you, I would consider the i5 finances permitting. It would just give you that...

You bet!!! Thank you!!! I will check out PDF Markup given that I am buried in PDF documents pretty much all day and part of the night!!

I was wondering if you have compared PDF Markup with other competitive apps like DrawBoard PDF and Xodo. If yes, could you summarize your observations please? And, also are you using the PDF Mark up app from the Windows Store or did you buy if off the BlueBeam site? Thanks in advance.

And...longer battery life without resorting to tricks and such...!

Yeps, I will second this. I also noticed a significant difference in speed and slickness. I have since moved to the Release Preview with no hassles and the machine remains as fast as before.

:DThat's what I thought too!!! Though I must add that post this most recent update (Insiders Preview), my SP4 is running a bit warm and it is not been the best performer where battery life is concerned. Just a few weeks back the battery life was much better.

This adaptive brightness has a negative influence on battery life? Can you please explain this a bit more? Thanks in advance.

Nice!! But what is Kodi?

So, this is a hardware problem? Does not sound like it since your SP3 is seeking out and registering some WiFi networks. Of course, I could be misunderstanding.

I have noticed this too - mostly before this most recent update (.321 on RP). My SP4 is connected to the dock. Two external HDDs connect to the dock. Often times, the two drives dont show up. But if I wiggle the power chord to the SP4 the drives show up. But after this most recent update, this...

Thanks! This will be helpful in the event that such a problem arises again. Thankfully, I have not face this again - either on the S3 or on the SP4.

Well, I am more concerned about the MSS/ MID/ RAW and possibly the ISI:D I'll try the shut down and restart sequence on my S3 and will report back!

OK. Is there an equivalent procedure for the S3 though?

Hmmm...ok...too late - I just refreshed the S3...was long overdue too, I guess. LOL!!!! The refresh took care of the problem!!!

OK. Thanks!! So just keep deferring the prompts to run and install till the next update shows up.

Thanks. Yes, I have been reading about this very odd behaviour too. But the thing is it failed once on the SP4 but worked the second time and I am not kidding when I say that the SP4 seems slicker than before. So, I have no idea why this is happening. Anyways, lets hope Jeff (@jnjroach ) sees...

I got a notification that this update had downloaded itself and was waiting installation, which I allowed it to do. It took an inordinate time to install and after restarting a couple of times I got the message that it cannot be installed and was undoing all the changes. This happened a couple...

I bought my SP4 not very long ago - maybe a month or two max. I had originally not planned to buy it as I was happy with my SP3. But I noticed that the screen was yellowing very fast from the edges and fearing a screen problem and the fact that I use the Surface as my primary device, I opted for...

In my experience, yes. I have noticed this post the AU. Its sometimes a bit disconcerting! I have observed this behaviour for some time though, which means I have consistently checked if the unit is charging. Now that I am a bit more confident that it charges all right, I pretty much ignore it...
