    Battery wear at 12% only after 11 cycles

    On my first sp4 I had 41,000 capacity. On this sp4 I have around 39,000. Pretty funny if your ask me. I wouldn't buy an iPad. No usb. No HDMI. No micro SD. Even if it had full windows on it, you wouldn't be able to expand it or connect it to anything that didn't have Bluetooth or Wifi...

    Solved Virtual Keyboard vs. Handwriting Bar?

    For me the keyboard comes up if I'm using my finger. But if I'm using my pen before clicking the keyboard, then the writing bar comes up.

    Was there a Firmware on 12/21?

    Today my surface pro 4 forced the update as well. I got all of them all at once. Ironically I couldn't find them in the updates lol. these were the only two to appear.

    Battery wear at 12% only after 11 cycles

    You sir have a faulty battery. This could happen to anyone... I'd return it.

    High Activity While Asleep... Reprise

    I'd recommend using hibernate. I found sleep to not be very reliable on the SP4. They promised a fix in early 2016, so until then, use hibernate. I had this happen to me, too, once. Since then I shut down or hibernate.

    Battery wear at 12% only after 11 cycles

    Wow!!!! I'd return it.... Or, wait... Why don't you discharge it to 10% or less, turn it completely off, let it charge over night, and see if the numbers are still the same.

    SP4 M3 vs. SP4 i5 - My Own Battery Life Face Off

    What you say is true! I guess the best way to test THAT is to either let your PC run for a while without doing anything to let indexing run, updates run, with no personal programs running OR Refresh your device so it's only BASIC windows. With no personal configuration, no data... But come...

    SP4 M3 vs. SP4 i5 - My Own Battery Life Face Off

    Of course, let's say that MS does an honest mixed usage battery test, and says "you'll get 5 hours of battery life" and then HP or Dell says "12 hours" haha. What do you think MOST people will think? Regardless, I just checked their website and they state "2 Hasta 9 horas de reproducción de...

    m3 or i5 128Gb and 4 Gb of RAM

    Very cool story. I went for the i5 version, and I'm very happy with it. I was debating the m3 or the i5.... I've always stuck with the i5. It should serve me well over the next few years :) Hello Surface Pro 7 ;) haha.

    Official I received my Surface Pro 4

    Yesterday I received my third Surface Pro 4. Not that the others were defective, but due to some Microsoft incompetence haha. So, anyways, The other batches were 1545, and this one is 1547, and I think it's a better batch. Battery lasts longer, no doubt. But it could be the software loaded upon...

    SP4 M3 vs. SP4 i5 - My Own Battery Life Face Off

    Yes, but the same exact usage is by definition of how to measure good battery life. I didn't expect the M3 to get much better battery life, because it has a smaller battery and more efficient CPU vs a more powerful CPU and larger battery.

    New Firmware Updates (Number, Date and what problems solved)

    I imagine you are like 90% of the people. Most people probably don't have issues, but I imagine that there are MORE issues than a normal device launch right now...

    20% per hour battery drain with light useage. Normal?

    I got 5.5 hours with VERY minimal usage (mostly idle screen) while working (keeping a document up) and some very light browsing and some light hdmi connection to show some stuff (maybe a total of an hour of the total time). I think MS has a lot to optimize because 20% an hour in my case, too...

    Keeping it plugged in or not?

    You can leave it plugged in 29 days a month, but one day a month run the battery down to 10% or 5%. It'll keep it calibrated. But use it as you like! If you go 45 days without unplugging it, it'll be fine, just don't make it a habit to leave it so long plugged in! haha. Mine is probably plugged...

    SP4 $899 M3 vs $999 I5 (What to buy as a primary tablet?)

    I think the M3 is a great choice, but I got the i5 just for the processing power in the future. I wouldn't have even updated my SP2 if it weren't for the screen size bump and the better type cover (especially for the track pad). I plan to keep my SP4 for a while, and I think the i5 vs m3 is a...

    My advice for all those having issues

    Might I ask, how do you "not rush" updates? Windows Update does them automatically when I turn on my machine. And as soon as you turn on your Surface, and connect it to a wifi source, the FIRST thing it does is say "getting critical updates" or "crucial updates" I have seen this multiple times...

    Battery Life and Recharge Time

    Hmm, I think this should be normal. To give you an idea, a phone takes about an hour to charge 3,000 mah with Fast Charge 2.0 (without FC2.0 it takes about 2 hours) ( a tiny battery compared to a full PC tablet). Not to mention, you're continuing to use it while charging, correct? I'd try...

    new surface pro 4 user - should have got an iPad

    Chatting with Microsoft or calling them is the best bet. Go to surface. Com and you'll find many ways to contact them. They can even call you! That is a strange issue to be honest... I imagine you've done a rule restart, right? Or even uninstalling one note...
