If you do any gaming at all, this mouse will work better than the Arc mouse. You can right/left click at the same time with the Sculpt mouse. This is crucial in games like Skyrim. The Arc mouse doesn't let you do this but it does fold flat for portability.

Love my SP3 (i7, 8GB, 512SSD). I've had all the Surfaces since they came out. I've dabbled with tablet/laptop convertibles for 10 years and have always liked them. But they were always to heavy to really use as a tablet. When the Surface was first announced and I watched the video, I...

I had the same thing happen to me. I traded it back when I upgraded to the SP3 i7 w/512GB SSD. Yes, after much ado, I had to get the 512GB version. What's a few hundred dollars more? <sigh> I'm curious to see if it happens again.

As an FYI in case you didn't already know, but once you double click the pen and select what you need, it copies it to OneNote but it also copies it to the clipboard. So, if you really just want to capture a part of a screenshot and paste it into an email or other, you can use double click the...

That's unfortunate that you have to restart your SP3 2-3 times a day. I've always wondered why some folks have major issues while other folks have none or very minor ones. I seldom have to reboot my SP3. Usually it's only for updates. Certainly not 2-3 times a day. I won't say the SP3 is...

Welcome to the forum. I'm also a Sr Sales Engineer. You will find that the Sp3 is a great tool for any SE. The pen will make your WebEx's come alive. Rather than doing a PPT, you can open OneNote and start drawing your customer's environment. This interaction turns a boring WebEx into a...

I also had my SP3 fall out when opening the box. You would think that after owning the SPro 1 and 2 I would have known better. Luckily, I was sitting and it just fell to the table. In the OP's case, I think I would just go to Microsoft website and purchase Complete then return after a few...

Jerk?? Ouch!!! But, well said. Good luck with your SP3 i3. Now you will be able to test and see if it works for you. If not, then the i5 will be waiting for you. Either way, you should enjoy the SP3.

Mitch, you seem so focused on getting the answer you want rather than what folks have already told you. What answer do you want and I will give it to you? Yes, it runs hot. No, it doesn't run hot. You said you get 45 days at Best Buy. Go get one, test for yourself, and put this to rest.

Nice review but it left me confused perhaps? Between the compliments and slight jabs, I didn't really get a feel for whether or not purchase one. You guys must be smarter folks than I am. :)

Dang, Mitch, you pop back in for a day and stir up the hornets nest. You, my friend are a true master schemer.

Interesting that you quickly picked up on the negative posts. There are also plenty of posts from folks who are crazy happy with the SP3. LOTS of: best device I have ever used, I don't have any issues, I've never heard my fan come on, etc. Hope you can zero on these as well.

A quick Bing of the Acer R7 leads to a device that is nice in some aspects and not so nice in others. Very interesting that they have put the touchpad towards that back of the keyboard. The screen got average reviews. The hinge like thing is.... I don't know... weird? It make the screen float...

As you know, there is a history with the OP and similar posts which have gone bad in the past. The OP had moved on to other alternatives to the Surface line. I like that he has tried the SP3 but it appears that he still likes his alternative devices. As another thread pointed out, if you have...

Yes, that's the beauty of the Surface devices. You don't need to talk folks into it. Just sit next to someone on a plane or open one in a meeting, start using the features, and the questions will come naturally. You don't have to say anything to them as they will start talking to you. The envy...

Hey, this sounds suspiciously like my example that I gave in the Surface vs Others subsection. On Jul 30, I wrote: "Before I give him his MBP back, I open it and try to pull off the screen saying 'what, the screen doesn't come off? Are you guys stuck in the 90's?'" It sounds like MS is...

For all who were asking, I kept my display at 50%.

Lol!! Sorry, meant i7 8GB RAM 256SSD.

This the i7 with 256GB RAM.

Long days were 830am - 5pm. When I say it was 27% left, it was probably more like 30-35% since after the meetings I went back to my room to catch up on email. By the time I left for dinner around 6pm it was at 27%.
