    Any Long-Term, Permanent Damage Done by SP3 Heating Up?

    I agree. In normal use, I think the current line of tablets will likely outlive their batteries. (Then we'll all have a shot at cutting a hole in the bottom of our tablets to replace the battery.o_O http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/ssd-upgrade-without-removing-screen.14624/ :(}

    Any Long-Term, Permanent Damage Done by SP3 Heating Up?

    Sorry Chris, I can't give any examples related directly to an SP3. What I've said pertains to electronic devices in general, and would therefore relate to an SP3. (Unless I'm mistaken, MS did not grant the SP3 an exemption from the Laws of Physics.;)) One example I'm personally familiar with...

    Microsoft Annouces the Surface 3

    Any Long-Term, Permanent Damage Done by SP3 Heating Up?

    Tablets are like anything else and running them at elevated temperatures will shorten their lifespan. Electronic items are more prone to failure from thermal expansion issues related to start/stop cycles (things get hot, expand, and then cool and contract). This hot/cold cycling can cause...

    Setup dual boot on Surface Pro 3?

    I too was a big fan of dual booting from the time I upgraded from W95 to WXP. I wanted to use a 64 bit WXP to take advantage of the extra memory on my new system, but several of the programs I wrote back in the 80's wouldn't run on a 64 bit system. I decided to dual boot 32 bit and 64 bit WXP...
