I just got back from a 3 day trip. As I have in the past with the SPro 1/2, I only took my SP3 i7 and HTC 8x. My trip was 3 days of intense training on new product features. It was from 830am to 430-5pm for the first two days then half day today. There was about 50 people in attendance. The...

Yes, your feedback is valuable on this forum so get well soon. But then again, you haven't really missed a beat. :)

Following up on my non stress testing, I ended up doing 6 hours of work and my battery is at 17%. This was mostly email, PowerPoint, and web. No heavy lifting. So I figure I could squeeze another hour or so. All I care about is whether or not I get close to the same as with the i5. The...

I have it higher because I'm outside at a golf tournament. I know, I know, tough life but someone has to do it. :)

Started today at 830am and have been doing email and web for that last 2 hours. Screen is at 80%. My battery is down to 71%. Will stop and start again later.

I decided to take back my SP3 i5 and got me an SP3 i7 256GB. So far I really like it. There was no real reason to do it other than because I can and the geek in me wanted the i7. So far, my experience has been the same. I never had the fan come on with the i5 but I finally heard the fan on...

Like jnjroach, I have been using tablet laptop convertibles for many years. For my job, I had to carry notepads, legal pads, binders, whatever to write all my notes. My shelf had dozens of filled up notepads that contained notes from month to month, client to client. No organization...

Seriously?

Yes, I'm in the same boat with 45 day return period. I suppose I can just go buy one on the 1st if they have them available. I'm very interested in your testing so please post ASAP. Thanks.

dman27, here's the thing. It's not the fact that we don't want any comparisons of Mac vs Surface. It's just that some members seem to enjoy stirring the pot to the point where folks are actually cursing at each other. I have seen a post where one member actually told another to f*** off...

Yep, I have the same problem with the Arc mouse. It's really bad for gaming. So I also have the Sculpt mouse that I use when gaming. I use one or the other and haven't had any issues yet.

I think you need to have Xbox Music playing and then lock the screen. Now you will get the Xbox Music controls from the lock screen when using the volume button.

Yep, I'm in the same boat. I have the i5-256GB but want to know if the i7 will make any significant improvement. I have a 45 day return period with BestBuy so that gives me just about 4 days to play/read up reports from actual users before deciding on returning the i5 for the i7. I'm don't...

Well, perhaps if you weren't so 'grumpy' things might turn better. Come on, you had to see that one coming. :)

Yep, since the charger is flat(ish), it fits in there. With the adapter in there, that just about fills it up without losing the slimness. Makes for a quick grab and go out of a larger commuter bag.

Yeah, I tend to overthink it. Thing is, I've been burned in meetings before. Customer has no Guest Wifi so no way to remote in to my demo system. Mouse because it's harder to control a demo using just the screen. Rats, now that I think about it, I probably need to add one of those...

I'm always looking for ways to make my time at meetings and coffee shops more efficient. I don't want to have to carry a shoulder or backpack into every single meeting. Oft times I just want to grab a smaller case out of my shoulder bag and go. I've found that the Platinum sleeve from BestBuy...

I have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card that I used in my SPro2 and now have in my SP3. When I inserted the card the first time, it would not read it. I had to restart and then it saw the card. This was on day one. I've had no problems since. I have my music and movies on it and use it daily.

Thanks! It's good to see everyone come out in force with positive comments for once. Not saying there aren't issues but I'm confident they will be resolved. My first tablet was the Toshiba M200 which it the right most one in the pic. I loved that tablet PC 10 years ago. The whole concept of...

The MS Ecosystem is awesome. When you use it on all your Windows devices, it keeps everything in sync. Any notes that I take in OneNote are synced to my desktop OneNote and my Windows Phone OneNote. When Surface RT first came out, I took a picture showing how all my Windows devices were...
