    SPro Accessories

    I was ready to take my Dock back but I decided to run the question of why MS decided to go with a 10/100 nic. My friend is a super smart IT guy. He asked to look at the Pro2 asked how the dock attached. After inspecting all the ports on the Pro, he said that it was probably because their were...

    SPro Accessories

    Well, I don't like that fact that the dock has 10/100 vs GigE. Indeed, very disappointing. So much so that I fear I will take it back. Anyone else going to keep their dock and, if so, why?

    A baby mea culpa..

    Now splurge for the wireless keyboard adapter and you achieve SP nirvana. Now about having you around for another 6 months....

    SPro Accessories

    Here are my quick thoughts on the Pro accessories after a using the a few days. New Arc mouse - Just ok. I like that it is flat so I stores well in my bag. When it is flat, it automatically turns off. When you fold it down (or curve it) then it turns on. It is much better than the wedge...

    SP2 speaker loudness and sound quality compare to SP?

    The volume is definitely better. Much better. Out of the box, I can hear and play music/movies on just the default setting and it is so loud that I have to turn it down sometimes. As for Dolby Sound, it sound real good. I've been playing Skyrim and the sound from the wind and environment is...

    Microsoft will NOT be offering trade-up value for existng type/touch keyboards :-(

    I was able to trade in my old Touch keyboard for the new Touch 2 keyboard. I went to my MS store to pick up my SPro2. I had my old Touch keyboard with me. I asked them if I could trade it in for the new one. They weren't sure at first but the Store Manager came over and said sure. They gave...

    Has Microsoft lost their minds pricing accessories?

    I agree with kaysee. The accessories might be priced higher but I will get them regardless. I got my SPro2 today. I also splurged and got the docking station, the wireless keyboard adapter, the Type2 keyboard, and the Touch2 keyboard (discounted since I traded in my old Touch keyboard)...

    Its Here!!!

    Yep, that's what is thought also. But I was one of the first in the store and they said that they had received 3 docks. They weren't expecting any at all till 2014 so they were surprised as I was. I knew it wouldn't last long so I snatched it up. Way cool!!! Here is the box: Here it is...

    Its Here!!!

    Ok, I just picked my SPro2 (256/8) and I am really excited. No hassles. Was waiting for me at the MS store. I did get an email this morning advising me that it was available for pick. I have it all set up. But, surprise of all surprises, they had a docking station available as well. Nice. I...

    Pro 2 store availability on release date?

    I called my MS Store in SLC just now. I was checking to see if I could just come in tomorrow and get an SPro2. They said they only have enough SPro2 256/8GBRAM for those who pre-ordered. You can pre-order still but not sure when those will come in. Luckily, I had the wisdom to pre-order they...

    What makes Microsoft so slow?

    No, not really. We just come to expect it from you. :) This forum wouldn't be the same without our daily MS bashing. Someone has to keep us fanboys in place. This talk about delay has me worried. I hope my SP2 256 isn't delayed. If so, I guess my SP1 will keep me happy until it finally...

    Awesome MS Store experience

    Good advice. I will probably just see what MS Store offers for trade in. Simple and I don't have to deal with Ebay or other. Or maybe just keep it. I've grown attached to it.

    Awesome MS Store experience

    I've had problems with my Type keyboard recently. At random times, some keys would not be recognized when typing. This was very annoying as I couldn't log in and had to use the onscreen keyboard. Pulling the Type keyboard off and on would work sometimes. Rebooting also fixed it sometimes...

    Surface Pro 2 - Who's Waiting for It?

    Yep, I will buy the SP2 when it comes. Call me a SP troll or whatever you want but I really like the SP. I've had mine since day 1 and have no regrets. It's the only device it take with me on road trips or anywhere. So, yes, I will get the SP2 once it comes out.

    Sony VAIO Tap 11 : Thinner Haswell Surface Pro

    Dang, Mitch, don't you ever give up? You continually slam the SP for it's form factor yet you bought one. You continually bash MS for not having/announcing a new SP2 just months after the SP came out. You come on the forum and make a prediction that an SP2 will never happen. Then you double...

    Next gen Surface in testing !!!

    The 'more fabulous ATIV Q'? Do you actually own one of these to make this statement? I suppose to each his own. I look at the ATIV Q and think 'Meh". It's another heavier PC tablet want to be that is loaded to the gills with the latest gizmos that allow you to flip, turn, spin or pull apart...

    Mini Displayport to HDMI Not Working

    I had the same issue just this week. I'm on vacation with my family and bought an HDMI cable so we could watch movies in the hotel room. I already had the MS minidisplay adapter. We were all set to watch a movie and it didn't work. When I plugged the cable in to the TV and my minidisplay...

    Surface Pro wakes in bag

    I read this post when it first came out and ignored it since I wasn't experiencing any problems with my SP turning on while in my bag. Then it started happening to me. I would put my SP in my bag after a meeting then find that it was turned on and hot when I went to take it out. I thought it...

    From Windows 8, to preview 8.1, and now back to 8.0.

    I took my SP on my first road trip after installing 8.1. I had no issues with wifi or streaming. I was able to watch all my shows from my Dish Hopper without any problems.
