    Does dock need to be plugged in for monitor

    No it won't cause any issues. In fact if anything it's easier on the battery. Read this article for details. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/04/ask-ars-the-best-way-to-use-a-lithium-ion-battery-redux/

    Surface Pro 4 news

    It sounds like Microsoft is doubling down on the Surface Pro line by purchasing n-trig. It's funny that analyst were writing the obituary for the whole Surface line just a few months ago. It shows analyst don't really know anything more than any reasonably informed person.

    Surface Pro 4 news

    I don't think there's much mystery in why they killed Surface 2. It failed to catch on.

    Windows 10 RTM May Come In June [Rumor]

    Yeah, I read this news this morning. It has me worried because it's more important for Microsoft to get it right than early. OEM's probably disagree since Win 8.1 is a dead man walking and everyone knows it.

    DisARMed: Microsoft kills Windows RT - Surface 2 - What went wrong

    I think as much as anything it was too little too late. iOS and Android already had a big step into the market. Microsoft has been late to market before but their competition wasn't as large or competent as Apple and Google. It was always going to be an uphill battle for Microsoft but they...

    New Docking Station Audio Driver is causing me problems

    The update listed below is causing me problems. After installing it when I plug in my headset into the 3.5mm jack on the docking station it's not instantly recognized. I have to open up the volume control options and then it usually starts working. Microsoft Docking Station Audio Device...

    This for a Surface Pro would be amazing

    On paper it sounds cool but in reality it's not very practical. You could probably buy an xbox one for less and get a much better gaming experience.

    Windows 10 live event on 1/21/15

    Wow, that's a small gathering. It should be an interesting day. I have high hopes for Win 10 and I'm sure that's doubly true for Microsoft. This is a very fickle industry.

    About to join the crew!

    When I went to register it online I had an opportunity to purchase MS complete which I didn't pass up. It's super simple and I don't think you'll have a problem with it. Just don't drop it pulling it out of the box. No joke it's happened to several people here.

    Maybe the Nokia N-Gage is making a comeback. Side talking lives! http://www.sidetalkin.com

    Microsoft's Windows 10 Briefing is Tomorrow; Might Include a Hardware Announcement

    I think it will be a phone and an obscure gadget.

    New XPS 13 (broadwell) performance compared to SP3

    Of course, it's the overall package that counts. I might have gotten little off track with my original post. My main point is that Haswell stacks up nicely against Broadwell and our SP3's should have good longevity. Which is a good thing for a $1000+ device. :)

    New XPS 13 (broadwell) performance compared to SP3

    To be brief the new Dell XPS 13 is using the broadwell Core i5-5200U. CNET compared it to the SP3 and their conclusion was that it only slightly outperformed the SP3. I wonder if Intel had to scale back its design ambitions for broadwell because of the manufacturing issues they were...

    Defect on my new SP3

    My is like that and it hasn't been an issue. I don't travel with it much so I'm not sure if wear and tear would make a difference. It's also a tough call if you want to start playing the exchange game. Despite what people say $1000 devices are not all identical and some defects are worst than...

    Surface Pro 3 competition heating up

    This is great since we're entering a critical juncture with the release of Win 10. More devices hopefully equals better support from Microsoft. At some point the hybrid concept needs to really take off or die. Muddling along in this field never works. IMHO 16:10 and 16:9 is almost always a...

    SP3 & Windows 10: Match Made in Heaven?

    I'm not running Win 10 on my SP3 but I have experience with both. Right now I haven't seen much that shows Win 10 will be an improvement on SP3. However it's still really early in the game and very soon Microsoft is going to show off some of the consumer based improvements (Jan 21st). I'm...
