    Microsoft does fantasize about that concept.

    What does the new Surface Pro 3 model mean for the Surface Pro 4?

    I think there will be one too however Satya Nadella talked about tough choices ahead in his new mission statement.

    What does the new Surface Pro 3 model mean for the Surface Pro 4?

    Microsoft is either waiting for Win 10 and/or Skylake to be released before unveiling the SP4. Assuming there will be a SP4.

    Today's firmware update 6/23/2015

    The audio drivers were updated in May. I don't see an update in June's firmware package. https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/install-update-activate/pro-3-update-history

    New SP3 Configuration Released

    Surface Pro 3 - 128GB / Intel i7 for $1299. This is a bit of a surprise since the SP3 is nearing the end of it's lifecycle (presumably). Maybe MSFT has some extra i7 processors that they need to clear out of inventory. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Surface-Pro-3/

    Today's firmware update 6/23/2015

    It makes you wonder if Microsoft can't get it right and they create the whole package how can you expect third party vendors to get it right. Maybe there is a fundamental problem here.

    Today's firmware update 6/23/2015

    The 3.5mm audio jack stopped working on my SP3 docking station after applying this update. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

    Surface Pro 3 crowned as the fastest tablet, followed by the iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9

    Sorry for the pun, but it's really comparing apples and oranges. I have both and it's a big experience difference between using iOS and full blown windows.

    Broken Age on SP3

    I'm having a problem with Civ V. It has a large black border around the screen.

    Broken Age on SP3

    Gaming has been a real mixed bag on the Surface Pro 3. So I'm happy to report that Broken Age works perfectly on the device. In fact it's better in tablet mode than playing it on a desktop. :)

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Everything ok is boring. We have a need to break things so we can fix them so they can be broken again.

    Don't let this be you - Create Recovery Image on SSD

    Yeah true. Hopefully Win 10 will better utilize larger card sizes.

    Don't let this be you - Create Recovery Image on SSD

    I bought a 64 GB card to create a backup partition and to use to the rest of the space to backup specific files. Now I'm thinking it was a mistake since the tool will only create a 32 GB formatted partition. Am I missing something here?

    Surface Pro 4 Could Be Announced in Mid-May [Rumor]

    If it's using Broadwell then prepare to be underwhelmed. Broadwell doesn't appear to be burning up the performance benchmarks. The thinking is that Skylake will bring the performance jump. Saying this my i5 SP3 performs very nicely and I'm not to sure a big performance jump is necessary...

    Surface Pro 4 Could Be Announced in Mid-May [Rumor]

    I would like to see that to but Microsoft hasn't been a early adopter of new processor technology in the past. I've don't see myself replacing my SP3 either way so I'll by watching the action from the sideline.

    Surface Pro 4 Could Be Announced in Mid-May [Rumor]

    I would hope they would wait a bit longer and launch it with Win 10. Everything else sounds about right. Skylake would be nice but it's probably too soon.

    Tesla Energy Announces Powerwall Home Batteries for $3,000 USD

    This is really cool. The powergrid in our neighborhood is famously unreliable. I have a gas water heater and stove. This would fill in the gaps to keep the refrigerator cold and the lights on.

    Windows 10 Will Get Android & iOS App Support

    MS is certainly building roads. The question is if anyone will take them.

    Surface Pro 4 - wishlists!

    I could see a Surface Laptop having multiple USB ports and a Lan jack. However they're not features you're going to find on a tablet (or at least a successful one). Tablets are a device of compromise between size, battery life, features, port, and cost. Adding those extra components would...
