I dunno, I paid 199$ for my RT with keyboard and they gave me $100 for it and I kept the keyboard :). For me I was plenty happy with what I got back. Just trying to figure out if I can use the coupon in store... would prefer to see all the stuff in person!

Just wondering if anyone used the coupon at a microsoft store or other store? I'm not close to one at the moment but could be in a few weeks!

Thanks for your thoughts... there's not much in my office though? Not sure what to walk away from? Well I do have two cellphones on my desk hooked up to wifi and one was a recently updated one to windows phone 10. hmmmm! Otherwise I have a logitech mouse with unifying receiver but I've had...

I've been having this pretty often within the last couple weeks or so. Scenario would be as follows when the issue occurs: Walk away for a bit, monitors are off (I have Hyper-V enabled so screens shut off but no system sleep) Come back, shake mouse and sometimes I have no BT Keyboard...

wow really? I guess I'll never upgrade my 2x Dell U2413s! dunno if it makes a difference and it just happened like that because those were the cables I had on hand... SP3 Dock, mDP to DP IN for one u2413 then DP OUT from that monitor to mDP IN for the 2nd u2413 I didn't have any full size DP...

Enable hyper v and you lose connected stand by but you can at least have your monitors shut off after X amount of time. Or maybe you can turn off connected stand by without enabling hyper V. I really didn't play much with it. If you're docked, I find there's very little need for connected...

fyi I do have a firmware update waiting for me to install too. I had it pop up for me on Monday.

Hmmm, thanks for bumping this, guess I should go get a nice micro SD card and actually use the slot! Do you pretty much have to do a new one with each round of windows updates?

Welcome! I think what you did was awesome regardless of dangers or voided warranty involved lol. Yea I'm coming from a couple Lenovo's (x200t & helix) and I found the surface pro3 pricing cheap comparatively lol, especially for what you get. Technology is definitely getting cheaper and better.

No they are saying the RDP application doesn't understand the scaling of the display in windows 8.1 so it will present in native resolution of the SP3, that's why it's super small. They propose another app that can handle this situation better. For me, I don't mind so much only because I have...

hmmm I bought the complete warranty to cover anything, never expected a deductible for anything. I always buy the full accidental insurance for my previous Dell and Think pads and never got charged for anything. Didn't even think about the possibility of a deductible for the Surface.

I use this anker one because I need ethernet and I like the detachable cable which makes storage neater. I was interested in the juiced one but I need ethernet. Too bad no compact card reader with ethernet and usb3.0 hub :D I didn't opt for powered hub because if I'm mobile, doubt I would...

I bought this BT mouse because I was getting pissed off at wireless receivers into usb3.0 hub causing issue with signal stability, esp when the usb hub has ethernet built it. Almost right away on BT with the sculpt mouse, I have signal interruption, pointer doesn't move for a brief moment and...

Oh right, that's annoying.... like the different SSD's :D

Ok thanks for explaining... I've using the recommended setting with no issue. I'll watch for the huge text issue when I go back to the office one day

Didn't happen on Excel 2013 (15.0.4675.1001) MSO (15.0.4675.1002) 32-bit Part of Microsoft Office 365 Weird, how come the installer didn't put 64 bit one for me? Like all the core files are in the Program Files folder, there's nothing really in Program Files (x86). I've always thought I was...

Thanks, so when you say "same size on it" you mean the SP3? Cause I undock, goto the office, then back home and the SP3 is always the same setting I had before on it. It even remembers all the different monitors I plugged in and the orientation I prefer them in. Ie: some desks have external...

I say don't buy the dock because you shouldn't need convincing. You will either have the use case to need/want one or not.

Uh I bought these for $2.45 canadian shipped free :) http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001T4EDZO/ref=pe_868830_125985980_em_1p_0_ti Works fine on my Surface RT, Pro, Lenovo Helix to my 1080p TV.

I was just trying to understand what display scaling issue means to people. Some programs are not coded properly for scaling I guess? it's funny I find IE11 doesn't quite do it as nicely as say Firefox. hyper-v I rarely use the VM console and RDP to the machine instead cause I can specify the...
