    Well, the party's over :-(

    I have the black ostrich Stickerboy skins for both the tablet and the keyboard and LOVE them. I also thought that pictures seemed to make these seem grayer than the black leather ones. In fact, they are very much black. Absolutely recommend. I know that some folks had posted pictures of...

    Using Surface pro 3 to import and render files in Adobe Lightroom

    So happy to read this and that you finally have your SP3. :) This is precisely the type of info that I longed for prior to purchasing my i7,256gb. Actually, it's good to know even now as I have not had a chance to fully put my SP3 through the paces in all of the Adobe programs. Cheers and...

    Poll Yellow streak poll (Model + Lot #)

    Thanks for posting this as a frame of reference. I have a i7, 256 and can say that only on white screens can I barely see the faintest strip of yellow highlight. I wouldn't have noticed it at all I don't think if I hadn't read about it and went looking........so, ya, thanks for that all. :)...

    Solved Power / Brightness ?Issue?

    Hi there. From what I've read in a few other threads, there is nowhere on the SP3 right now to make the battery show the time remaining like the previous Surface Pro's have done. It was suggested that it may be coming in a future update, but if your looking around for it now, you can put your...

    OFFICIAL I Now Have a Surface Pro 3 i7

    Don't hesitate to contact them. Mine wasn't even included! I watched many unboxing's and know where it was supposed to be in the box on the paper and it just wasn't there. MS support confirmed some type covers shipped without them and sent me one without hesitation. It's a cheap little piece...

    Random reboot and lock up

    I myself had this exact thing happen yesterday. I've had my i7, 256gb for almost a month and this is the first time it happened. I was on the device, walked away, came back and it was on the Surface screen with the thingy spinning. Let it do that for about 40 minutes thinking it was an odd...

    Decided to get a surface pro 3, question i3 versus i5

    Hi there, and welcome! I am also a student. I lamented for weeks before finally going with the i7 since I am doing a lot in the Adobe software. I am finally loving my i7 after some tweaking on my side and the latest firmware update. I also owned a SP1 and was amazed by how much I loved it...

    Sudden battery drain after recent updates

    Hi GreyFox. Your information has been very helpful to me. Could you please tell me how I can run one of these sleep reports? Thanks as always for your great advice!

    Ok now I'm complaining

    Dude, if you have to put a device in the refrigerator to get it to update, something is very wrong. I have NEVER had had the thermometer error or a thermal shutdown in the 2 weeks of owning my i7. And, it has definitely got very warm with the fans blazing. See if your refresh takes, but if...

    Microsoft Complete Coverage for SP3.....Good? Bad? Please leave your thoughts.

    Thanks, all for the info. I was pretty much sold, but needed a little nudge. ;) So, is the only way to add the protection to call them or is there anywhere online? I can't seem to find anywhere on the microsoftstore.com site to add it.

    Microsoft Complete Coverage for SP3.....Good? Bad? Please leave your thoughts.

    Hello all and thanks again for all the great help. Can I please find out: How much is the Complete Plan for the SP3? (I've seen $149 and $199) Any sort of discounts for education? What does it cover and how long? How long from date of purchase can I get it? If I ordered online is it from my...

    Any tips to reduce or prevent the fan from starting up

    Funny, you should mention the malware detection as it was indeed also giving me issues. I actually ended up going with another AV software and disabled Defender and have been very happy and no more fan issues caused by that. So, seems like the defrag was making it do it on its own in my...

    Any tips to reduce or prevent the fan from starting up

    Thanks for this valuable info. So, last week when I was noticing the weekly defrag heating up my i7 and causing the fan to kick in, I told the system to no longer run the weekly defrag as many were saying not to do it. Do you think I should turn this feature back on? Are you saying that the...

    Does anyone else think their SP3 might be running a little cooler since the 8/19/14 firmware update?

    Hmmm........how do I edit the thread title? It's not letting me. THINK. Does anyone else THINK their SP3...... :)

    Does anyone else think their SP3 might be running a little cooler since the 8/19/14 firmware update?

    Hello all. I am an i7, 256 SP3 owner now for about 2 weeks. I have had some issues, but feel like they have been resolved through some fixes on my end, as well as my own overall understanding of how the system works. So, I may be completely crazy--or perhaps overly hopeful for some sort of...

    Woo Hoo. Stickerboy skins for the Surface Pro 3 (now Surface Pro 4)

    Hello all. I can tell you with 100% confidence since I've got the skins on the front, back, and sides, that there is ZERO interference with the docking station. I was worried before getting the dock, but if this is making you hesitate, please don't!! :) Slides in and out perfectly. No...

    SP3 i7 users--when do you hear your fan come on?

    You are getting it in Photoshop and Illustrator? That may be a deal breaker. I will be using it a lot for school but haven't had a chance to really test out much stuff in Adobe yet.
