Absolutely agree. Why would you shelve it till July? That's $1500 that is wasting away on a shelf. You are still in any 15 or 30 day return period. I would do like Godson and take it back before it's too late.

And I agree with basically everything here. There is no doubt that the Surface 3 is a work of art. I don't think anyone will dispute that. It's also an engineering marvel. To create a full computer in tablet form factor is just amazing. I mean, to have an i5 full blown computer in a thin...

Not really idiotic. Some folks just don't have time to wait for updates or spend time troubleshooting. To be honest, they shouldn't have to do this. In a perfect world, our devices would be problem free from day one. I think it's best when someone realizes that a device won't work for them...

I addressed gaming on the Surface in another thread. I am a hardcore gamer. As such, I know full well that the Surface is not a gaming machine. To even think so is asinine. Will it play games, sure. Will it play them at an acceptable frame rate? No way. At least not the games I play. I...

Too funny. As I've said many times, I'm a hardcore gamer. Hardcore gamers spend thousands of dollars on games. Here is just a few of the games I have purchased. As a hardcore gamer, I have many, many more. This doesn't even include Steam and Origin which, hell yes, I have installed. As...

Now this is interesting. With the i7 coming out Aug 1, do I return the i5 and go with i7? I will still be within the 45 day return period at Best Buy. Rats!!! Once again, do I really need an i7 or is it just envy. :)

This forum can sometimes turn into a hate Surface and MS rant. I've been on this forum through the SPro, then SPro2, and now SP3. With each release, naysayers have always come out in force. You'd be surprised at how many issues, imaginary or not, have been posted in this forum. Crappy device...

That is a great looking case. Do you own one? Will this fit into a larger, leather bag? I'm always going from meeting to meeting. My go to bag is a leather shoulder bag in which I put a sleeve I got from Best Buy yesterday. Platinum Sleeve for Microsoft Surface, Surface 2 and Surface Pro...

Have you ever been to a BestBuy and talked with their sales team? They are.... lacking? I have 6 Best Buys that I can reach within an hour of my house Each one of them has a display for the Surface 3. But if you ask them anything about it they don't know a thing. Might as well not have them...

I'm a lefty so I don't have this problem. I think they have fixed this problem with the latest updates. At least they seem to be fixed when using the pen. I opened OneNote and Fresh Paint and, switching to right hand, I tried really hard to activate the capacitive button while writing or...

Here are my first impressions. 1. Setup was simple with a few glitches. I was at a local Starbucks and using my MiFi for internet connection. My pen was not recognized at first and I got stuck on trying to validate my Live account. So I had to do a hard reset about 4 times since the setup...

Here is an interesting option for those who want/like a lockable keyboard. Similar specs as the Surface and definitely gives you the full laptop experience you like. I had an HP tablet/laptop years ago that was similar to this one. Back then, the tablet part didn't come off. It twisted around...

I don't think this is a fact at all. Fact is, the SPro1, the Spro2, and soon, the SP3 have replaced my laptop without compromise. I would venture it's best to say 'In my opinion, the Surface will not...'. This way you're not speaking for those of us who have, in fact, ditched our laptops and...

Since they don't fully charge until I pick it up, I can cancel either one of them.

I sold my SPro2 today but informed the buyer that I will deliver next week. So, I'm not left Surfaceless. :) I also doubled down on the pre-order at MS Store and Best Buy. I will definitely have my SP3 on Jun 20. Not sure who I will go with. It depends on who has if first come Jun 20. Can't...

Here's an article that's not necessarily a review but I found his point of view to be exactly what I think. The Surface product line is not for everyone. Those who 'get it' (literally/figuratively) will be happy with their purchase. Naturally, I will continue to help my peers see the light. :)...

Yes, that is really my dilemma. I don't really need the i7 but I if I stick with the i5 will I regret not going with the i7. Rats!! Do I just eat the $200 difference and don't look back. Wish we knew for certain what the battery life difference is between them. That would probably be the main...

Not sure about online, but I ordered mine at the MS Store today. There is no pre-authorization charge that in can see on my CC. MS Store said they wouldn't charge anything until I pick it up.

I pre-ordered the SP3 I5 256GB w/blue cover. Probably not a shocker to most of you. Still not sure if I will switch from the SPro2 though. I really like the size of it. I'm not sure if I like the larger SP3 size or not. It also (as JNJ pointed out) reminds me of the old tablet PCs that spun...

Yep, I was able to trade my SPro1 for the SPro2. I didn't get much ($375ish) and I probably could've gotten a hundred more or so off EBay but it was hassle free. This time around I will probably reach out to my peers first. They weren't happy that I didn't give them first dibs. I already have a...
