    I bought an iPad, might sell the SP4

    Been a happy camper with first the SP3 which I have been using for the last two years or so - ever since launch day in N. America), which I augmented with the S3 (which replace the iPad Air for me) and now the SP4. The SP4 is my main device and the S3 is my dedicated tablet/ notetaking device...

    Surface Pro 5 Discussion

    I would like slightly thinner bezels if possible; a marked improvement to battery life, if possible; a little lighter, if possible; a second USB port, if possible; a black version of the device (like the original Surface RT and the SP 1/2) but with a (much more!!) robust paint job or whatever it...

    Anyone else notice unstable connection to USB devices?

    No problems here either. I have two external drives attached with no issues (as of now). Edit: One of the external drives is an externally powered one though. The other one is a portable HDD (WD Passport).

    Should I upgrade to SP4

    ...of course, when talking about SSDs, there is always this..."the SSD situation has been dramatically improved with PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives...." (Source) :D

    Should I upgrade to SP4

    Similar situation. My SP4 feels a bit faster than the SP3 - not a whole lot but noticeable. Of course the SP4 is the i5/8GB/256GB unit while the SP3 was the i5/ 4GB/ 128GB.

    Forum member hands on reviews SP4

    You should blame MS for my buying the SP4 so late in the day. My previous machine - a SP3 which I bought on release day in Canada - was amazing!!! It has travelled continents with me. It has stayed with me in the best of hotels (where I had to pay high wifi charges!!!!!) and in very basic rooms...

    Should I upgrade to Anniversary?

    I am running the AU also on my SP4 i5/8GB/256GB unit and it seems to be working fine. Just been two days thought that I go the SP4 so still running down battery and a few more settings. But otherwise it is working just fine - as of now!!!

    Edge + Extensions: SP4 W10AU

    The store opens to a page which I recognize as being the one where the extensions were listed. It has the button to check for updates for apps on the upper left side. But there are no apps listed. Yeah...lol!!! I did check under Edge Extensions with no luck as you mentioned! But when I check...

    Edge + Extensions: SP4 W10AU

    Hi all, Just set up a brand new SP4 for myself. The machine updated to the AU version of W10 using the Windows Update Assistant and all went well. Except that in Edge, I click on extensions and the store opens but I get no extensions like Translator, Mouse Gestures etc. I got Ad Block from a...

    Official I received my Surface Pro 4

    I just got my SP4 (i5/8GB/256GB) a few hours back. Still updating. I upgraded from a SP3 - running very well actually on the Fast Insiders' Builds including the latest but there is now a noticeable spread of a yellowish stain beginning from the left of the screen. And, unless I am imagining...

    SP3 Periodically Unresponsive at Startup

    One other thing: Windows Defender - as an anti virus - seems to be ok. Often I have heard it recommended to use that, which I do. External AVs sometimes slow down a system drastically. Further, I am not sure it is common practice to use utilities like PC Mechanic. Sometimes, if again I believe...

    Windows 10 upgrade or stay at Windows 8.1?

    Yes, me too - especially in Tablet mode! At the start, I felt the W10 set up to be very counterintuitive (especially on the start screen in Tablet mode). I remember mentioning this to @jnjroach too! But now, with AU imminent, I have grown very used to the W10 format and design and this is more...
