I have seen no skins for the S3 yet. A grippy silicone skin would be nice since the naked S3 feels slippery. However, I still have concerns about the fanless, ventless S3 overheating if there is any kind of cover on it that doesn't allow normal heat escape through the case.

It may not put the entire device into standby, but it shuts down the music after a set period of time. Maybe Windows will put itself to sleep some time after the app stops. When you expand the description says: " app. Alarms in this app are capable of waking up your device from sleep (if...

Sounds like you didn't research the specs or try the Surface 3 in a store at all.

Great.

Apple usually has very attainable battery use estimates. Other manufacturer usually give estimates that are not possible with normal use. Seems like 8 hours or less is much more realistic than 10 hours on a Surface 3.

You can set up a Spotify or Itunes playlist before bed and there are alarm clock apps. http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/alarm-clock-hd/4e56c781-8c4a-4a59-8d22-01340e1681e2 You can also set a timer on this site: http://e.ggtimer.com/8hours or set some kind of scheduled task to wake...

I think the Micro USB charging is an "issue" because people will think a cell phone charger will work or will work better and faster than it does, but can be resolved with a powerful enough 3rd party charger with 2 ports. Then you can charge both the Surface 3 and your cell phone with a single...

When the Surface is plugged into the battery packs, it will be running as if plugged into to AC power. So, that means no Connected Standby and the automatic hibernate will be delayed for the plugged-in time instead of the on battery time. You will have to manually shut down to make sure it...

I found the Remote Desktop store app to be more touch friendly and with more zoom options and pointer options that potentially make it easier to use on a high resolution small screen. However, there would be user training involved to take advantage of it.

So, if we use that battery pack for 2 hours, it should add at least 60% charge to a Surface 3?

How can 1366x768 fill a 16x10 screen? Seems like there would have to be unused screen height that would remain blank.

It should very slowly recharge overnight with most Micro USB chargers if you power off the Surface.

OK, I will try that.

If the Surface 3 can normally get through 8 hours of use on the internal battery alone, we may only need the smaller capacity Anker that has no buttons to get accidentally pressed. The smaller battery pack could be used to add some extra use time on days when the Surface has heavy user (either...

I don't see 175% as an option. I only see 150% or 200%.

I changed the resolution to 1366x768 manually and it doesn't loo blurry, but it doesn't take advantage of the entire screen I can't find a resolution that fills the screen besides 1920x1280. I see a recommended resolution of 1440x1080, but the slider doesn't have a stop for that resolution. Is...

I had tried connecting the Surface to a 1366x768 projector and it lowered the resolution on the Surface to match. This caused the local screen to shrink and not fill the screen as well as look a little blurry.

Phone and tablet apps UI are optimized for small screens. Windows desktop still is not. I think there is a market for a 1366x768 version of this until legacy desktop software stops being important to use. Macbooks let you change the screen resolution and still look sharp, but I don't think...

I'm playing with my personal Surface 3 mostly using it for watching videos, but I'm still finding the desktop UI quite tiny. As I said in the first post, our users don't have any work apps that work in the modern UI, so they will be pretty much using the desktop for all work-related activities...

Is there now or will there be a Firmware Tool for the the Surface 3 to allow quick uniform configuration of UEFI settings and UEFI passwords on multiple Surface 3s? There is a tool for the Surface Pro, but I can't find anything for the Surface 3...
