I would second this - also from personal experiences - used a SP3 (i5/4GB/128GB) since launch till a few months back. Current machine is SP4 (i5/8GB/256GB) and the experience is different and for the better. The machine is snappier; the display is gorgeous; thank god they lost that Windows...

This which is a principle I wish they apply to their (prospective) phones too!!!

At this point, I really don't care. Anyone coming up with a good solution at a reasonable price will get my business! I really want something like that.

Hi All... I was on a sub recently on Reddit and came across a reference to this browser - Shiye. Heard of it? Used it? I downloaded it on my phone last evening (950XL). Seems to fly! Will download on my SP4 and see how things go. Regardless, this or any other browser on W10/M will have to use...

No...no...please don't misunderstand me here. I am just saying I wish MS would have considered it. I am confident what you saying is very well-informed. Edit: Btw, Jeff, given who you hobnob with, you know what's up with the follow on of the S3 I bet!!! Ok - yes, you have NDAs etc. But you...

Thanks for the links. But as far as I can see, these seem to be "cases" not "covers". What I am looking for is a Touch Cover type of a cover but with none of the circuitry that comes with it. It just should attach itself to the Surface and be just a cover protecting the screen which can be...

Hmmm...not cool! I think MS needs to be a bit flexible here because what if, for example, I want to use the S3 as a pure tablet which, as you know, I do? If the S3 - retaining the example - cannot be used as a pure tablet, then what S3-like tablets are around (most importantly, the AR)?

Yes, well, it is not the Touch Cover per se which is being requested, but a Cover without keys to serve as a cover for the screen when using in pure tablet mode - something like the Smart Cover for the iPads.

Yes!!! Please!!! Its high time!!!!

Ok. Thanks.

So is mine. I sure hope it is not a HW issue on your side. Regardless, good luck!!

Hmm...that is on the lower side though. With brightness at around 40%. Tethered to my phone's data connection, running three instances of Word, Edge (with 2 tabs open) and Xodo open with four documents up, I get about 7 hours. All background services running or at least I have no deliberately...

Talking about firmware and updates. Today, VLC for Windows crashed for some reason and it froze up the device (SP4 - i5/8GB/256GB; W10). The device is all up-to-date including the firmware and updates as listed by Jeff on the first page. I had to keep the Power button pressed for the device to...

How did you remove Groove, Cortana and such...?

You mean Sync is a Canadian outfit? Or that their server farms are in Canada? And you mean this in terms of data protection, correct?

Thanks for the heads up. I am gonna try this as a back up to a back up...

They have an app in the store don't they - for phone and desktop?

One of the things that I wonder about is whether MS is actually going to vacate the market segment that requires a tablet with inking capabilities. I use a SP4 and I can see the screen size and while it is great to use as a tablet, the screen size is a problem. Obviously the SP4 does not fill...

:D

OOB = Out Of Box (meaning the stock config) :D
