    The time to get a microsd card is now

    The 64 GB for $24.99 is so tempting. But I need to spend $10.01 more for free shipping. :(

    How to prevent a closed type cover putting SP3 to sleep when docked?

    You're not going to like this answer but I would recommend not docking it with the cover closed. I find my SP3 runs much warmer with the cover on while docked. I don't find it difficult to use the dock. Not any more difficult than any HP, Dell, or Lenovo dock.

    Well, this is enought, no more Surfaces for me.

    I would agree with that statement. Camera really brings it out too.

    Well, this is enought, no more Surfaces for me.

    Mine has light bleed and a yellow bar on the left side of the screen. Like you I don't have a lot of extra time. The backlight bleed isn't noticable during normal usage and doesn't really bother me. The yellow band bums me out but haven't been motivated enough to try to deal with it. I...

    Apps wanted

    Thank you for your thoughtful reply to my post. It's nice to see that many of these area's have been somewhat addressed by Microsoft. I guess in the end it's going to require a larger user base of people using and buying Windows Apps to really make a difference. It would be really nice to...

    Apps wanted

    As I have mentioned before the selection of Apps for Windows is pathetic. For me it really kills the tablet experience. I'm not an software developer but I have some thoughts how Microsoft could get back into the game. Not that anyone is asking. Provide excellent App developer tools for...

    Hate to start another docking station thread, but...

    Yeah, seems like a funny thing to say by a support tech and slightly unprofessional. My dock is from an early batch because I bought it at launch and I haven't had any issues. Regardless it's cool they replaced it. I hope it solves your issues.

    Hate to start another docking station thread, but...

    I've been using my docking station for 3.5 months 8 hours a day with zero issues. You shouldn't be having these problems. If you're near an MS store take the mess there and see if they can help straighten it out. Ping MS on social media and on their forums. Microsoft shouldn't outsource...

    Dropped my baby in water

    At first I thought people were commenting on my post. I didn't intend to suggest anything nefarious. :) As a thought you might be able to strike a deal with Surface support where you purchase MS complete and they'll replace your machine once you pay the accidental damage fee. Wayback when I...

    Dropped my baby in water

    So sorry about your Surface. My mom killed an iPad by spilling laundry detergent on it. I think CR or someone did a test between using Rice, air dry or special drying material. The end result was that air dry either as well or better than the other methods. Call up MS and see what they can...

    Can You Use Your SP3 On Your Lap?

    I'm ok using it on my lap as long as I don't have shorts on. Otherwise it digs into my legs.

    New SP3, I7, 512, to be Desktop Replacement

    C64 always had better support. For some weird reason I'm always stuck with the minority. When everyone has a NES I had a Sega Master system.

    New SP3, I7, 512, to be Desktop Replacement

    I replaced my 4 year old Dell desktop with a SP3 and a docking station. Overall it's been a great experience. I lost some disk space but overall I get much better performance out of the SP3. The docking station has worked faultlessly and it's convenient to be able to take my desktop with me...

    Hidden FN keys for Screenshot, Print Screen, and Screen Brightness. What else is there?

    I wish there was hidden keys to raise and lower the volume. I don't always find the volume rocker convenient.

    How is that a SP3 boots up considerably faster than an ipad air 2?

    You think? I'm under the impression since iOS is so locked down and limited its more inherently secure. Not to say iOS is perfect because its limitations. Microsoft biggest thorn is legacy support. I bet Microsoft would love to stop supporting the previous OS everytime a new OS was released.

    I got to give some props to Microsoft's customer service.

    Great story! Thanks for sharing it. If you get a chance shot a quick email to Microsoft about your great service. I think they're pretty good about rewarding they're employees when they do something good. Although, I'm not sure if that applies to the retail staff.
