    Poll Surface Pro 4, a very expensive frustation

    I am quite sure I saw the same poll on Windows Central which I responded to in the same way as I responded here. No my SP4 has no issues that I can see thus far. It has been stable and the battery life has not disappointed me (yet). This seems to me to be a continuation of my experience with the...

    Surface Pro 4 Signature Type Cover - New

    Thanks. I am particularly interested in knowing how two spots are - where the edge of the palms rest while typing. You see, with the Type Covers I have used right from the RT days, probably because I use the Type Covers a lot, I notice there is always a discolouration at those two spots. I try...

    Surface Pro 4 Signature Type Cover - New

    Well ok, so how is it? How is it different from the other "normal" type covers? Any thing that stands out? How easy (or not) is it to clean? Thanks in advance.

    I've Changed My Mind: The SP4 is Terrible

    Yeah, well, I have used a SP3 and now a SP4 (with a S3 playing a side but critical role) on what you refer to as "mission critical" matters and these instances have been across three continents. Everytime the Surface device(s) have worked magnificently. And so, while I do accept that experiences...

    Yellow Screen Discoloration

    Recently, I noticed this on my SP3. It was a thin band along the left side of the screen but within a week or so it started spreading. I was a bit aghast because I was very comfortable with my SP3 and I was loathed to give it up. But the SP3 is my main machine and I cannot afford to have any...

    Forum member hands on reviews SP4

    Yes, thanks! I realized that and I was also advised the same by Jeff (@jnjroach) who I asked first and who told me exactly what you have mentioned. I think this new system is much better. I took the opportunity to slip in a 128GB card too, which takes care of storage issues for the foreseeable...

    Rumors of a Surface 4

    I see what you are saying about the screen size, but my basic idea is to use a potential S4 as a pure tablet for which reason, it cannot be too big or unwieldy. I think the S3 is already pushing it and recently I tried using the SP4 as one and while the tablet experience was very good, but it...

    Surface Pro 5 Discussion

    I don't mean to nitpick, but how can a laptop - by definition - have an optional keyboard? That is virtually a contradiction in terms, isn't it? But I do get the general thrust of what you are trying to convey and, in part, I am empathetic to your argument. Of course, while it would be nice if...

    In retrospect: Was RT a mistake?

    A family member has a Surface 2, which I was looking at recently. I remember it well as it was my former machine. But she has been using it for the last two years as her only computing device aside from her phone. She mainly uses it for Mail, browsing and videos (mainly YT). And she swears by...

    Rumors of a Surface 4

    I really don't care what they do, but I need them to release a S4 in a either 10.2 or 9.8 screen size (maintaining the same AR as now). Make it lightweight, long battery, USB-C, Fast Charge and full integration with a MS-Surface set up. Oh...and for god's sake, MS, design and release a cover for...

    Quick question: MS Account Profile Pic

    Hi all... Quick question: I changed the profile pic on my primary Outlook account (which is connected to Skype). I made these changes on the MS Account page online. Theoretically, since my SP4, S3 and 950XL are all signed in with that account, the profile pic on each should change. Well, it...

    i3 Surface Pro or Surface 3 for tablet use?

    Well, I agree and I am bemoaning the fact!!!

    i3 Surface Pro or Surface 3 for tablet use?

    Well, I see the logic in what you are saying, but if you take my case as an illustrative example, I use the S3 in a pure tablet/ slate form. Indeed, when I bought it, I made sure I did not buy the accompanying type cover and the aim was to replace the iPad Air that I was using in the same role...

    i3 Surface Pro or Surface 3 for tablet use?

    Oh, I agree - though I don't use my S3 as a hybrid, but purely as a tablet/ slate (what's the difference between the two?)! I was just wondering what else could be considered in lieu of it. I just hope MS comes out with a successor machine to the S3 and keeps that product band alive. Edit...

    i3 Surface Pro or Surface 3 for tablet use?

    What would you suggest as an alternative to the S3 leaving aside the iPad Pro?

    The 'Much Criticised' SB Fulcrum Hinge

    I used to have one of those cheesy plastic laptops - it was an Acer Aspire!!! And there were gaps galore - in performance, build quality etc etc.

    Surface Pro for write-in PDF Form Filling

    Having used both Drawboard and Xodo extensively, I just find the latter to be more stable and possessing a much cleaner layout. As of now, I use Xodo, but I will maintain - as I have done so consistently - that one of the glaring lackings in the Windows App store are PDF apps (at least at the...
