    Surface fails to load after first system update

    Sorry to hear about your issues. I have an i7/256/8 and haven't had any problems. Perhaps give yourself some extra time when you go back to MS Store and see if they can replace it. Then hang around and install updates while at the MS Store. They should be able to get you going. I suspect...

    Muscle Wire - Removing the Screen

    Really sounds like you're not waiting long enough. There is a distinct 'click' after a second or two notifying you that it is ready to detach. It then comes off easily with one hand. At least for me it does

    Freeze after lightuse

    I have an i7/256/8. I've used it all day today for email (Outlook), some Visio, and OneNote. Not quite used to the new pen yet. Steam is installing Fallout New Vegas. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can play it.

    Freeze after lightuse

    just finished installing all updates. Rebooted a couple times but no hang ups or BSOD. Everything working great. I have installed Office365, Visio365, VMWare Workstation 11. Now installing Steam as, being a gamer, I have to see how it will run games. I have a 3 day road trip this week and I...

    Freeze after lightuse

    I haven't had any issues yet but then I've been using it all day without installing any updates. I'll try installing them now and see what happens.

    Muscle Wire - Removing the Screen

    I haven't had any issues yet. My clipboard comes off and on really easy. I know this is petty, but make sure you wait the second or two before pulling off the clipboard. Nothing wrong with the keyboard freezing. I've played with my SB most of the day and everything seems ok. I did have a...

    Are there trade in programs for SP4

    Nah, I don't think so. I have MS complete and I've never gotten full purchase price when I went from Pro1 to Pro2 to Pro3. it doesn't make any sense for MS to offer full price credit on upgrades. I asked at the MS store how much credit I would get for my Pro3, i7, 512gb, and was quoted $630...

    Common Surface Book Questions

    Yes, you can flip it around and put it in 'stand mode' and make it work on a plane table. But, then you lose the 'tablet' format and you'll have to stow the 'laptop' on take off or landing. Rats!!! Why don't they change it and put the kickstand on the tablet? Now I'm back and forth on which...

    Whoa. New "Surface Book" just shown

    This was the first thing that crossed my mind when he showcased the tablet. I was looking hard at the tablet part and, sadly, I didn't see any cut in the back indicating that it had the kickstand. Anyone else see differently?

    Whoa. New "Surface Book" just shown

    Yes, this is what we gamers have been waiting for. A Surface that can play hardcore games and still be a tablet. I will definitely purchase the Surface Book. Now, just need to decide which model. :)

    Anyone use their SP3 and Note as their daily notepad?

    I'm in Sales. I use OneNote every day. I haven't used a coiled notebook since the SPro1. All my notes are easily accessible rather then trying to remember which notebook has the notes I need. I also leave the notes as ink.

    Email Client

    I posted a reply to a similar question on another thread about Google Calendar. I had the same exact situation about wanting to use Outlook instead of Gmail. I am a heavy Outlook user. I switched jobs a few months back and my new company uses Gmail. I tried liking/using the web based mail...

    linking to google calendar

    I have a Note 4 and ran into issues syncing email, calendar, and contacts with Office 365. It was very frustrating as I wanted to use Outlook but my work is using Google mail not Exchange. Having used Outlook (Exchange) for many years, using Google mail and calendar was very hard to get used...

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

    I 'liked' your post cuz I see where you are coming from. It sucks to be in the IT dept. I would hate to support 30+ sales guys. Most of the time, they don't even know how to use a device. Good luck with that. However, I do consider myself a real professional. I'm one of those sales guys...

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

    Dunno, but it sounds like you aren't happy with your SP3. Why do you keep it? I've said it many times, if you aren't happy with a product take it back. Or sell it. Or give it to a friend. Or something. Why waste cycles telling people on a 'Surface' forum that their baby is ugly. You...

    OneNote Android now allows inking!

    I converted to Windows phone from Android two years ago and loved it. I still really like the Windows phone. Two months ago. I converted back to Android. I went with the Note 4 specifically for the S Pen. It was a tough decision but I had to do it. If you are into inking like me, then I...

    Laptop Hinge vs Kickstand Poll for SP4

    Agreed. If the Surface goes to a hinge or 2 in 1 form factor, they will lose me as a customer. The Surface stands out in how it was designed to be different than anyone else. I don't want a 'me to' wannabe. Their is an inherit beauty with the Surface. You take it out any setting and folks...
