See I wouldn't describe you a heavy user though... On my busy days, I'm in University for 3 classes, a lab, and a tutorial spread out over 8 hours. WiFi on the entire time, One Note and Word open in every class, along with multiple PDFs, Powerpoint, BT, etc. Avoid video at all costs during...

And that's really impressive, but from my experience, having been through 5 SP3's, none of them were able to make it through two 3-hour block, back-to-back classes, even when I had them set to basically 10% brightness (as dim as possible while still being legible in a dreary classroom setting)...

Clearly said your usage stats are not applicable for his usage. I'm sure you get tons of battery life. Not helpful for OP though when he's clearly a power user. I could give an SP3 to my mom and she could probably get 50 hours of battery life. 9 hours just isn't realistic for most tech savvy...

That doesn't sound like typical usage regarding the OP though, watching movies, heavy browsing, streaming, etc, he'll be lucky to get more than 5 hours without a power cover on even the lowest brightness settings. It kind of sounds like he bought the wrong device if he's using the SP3 mainly...

Clearly said in my post if you want to minimize your user experience with 5% (10,20,50%, whatever) brightness, go right ahead. You might get 6-7 hours, you're not getting 9 though, unless you actually believe Microsoft and other OEMs regarding battery performance. The sad thing is, with a 42...

There's no way anyone's getting 9 hours on the SP3 unless they have like 1 browser tab open, no other programs open, and they spend multiple hours on the one tab before powering down... I've gone through 5 SP3's, always got between 3 and ~4.5 hours of battery life while browsing with brightness...

That's an amazing looking case... Does it work for the SP3? Even if it doesn't I'm kind of tempted to grab one for my old RT.

There isn't really... these subforums are where threads come to die. They only get interest for as long as you're original thread remains on the SP3 main forum before being bumped off the front page. But to answer your question, WoW runs perfectly on the i5/i7 versions - even with 4 gigs of...

See this is purely subjective opinion... as I find the the various keyboard docks on the Acer Switch series, or the the Venue 11/13 Pro series, to completely dominate the quality of the Surface type covers, to name just a few (I went through 2 type covers and 2 power covers while I had a Surface...

Similar reason why I prefer the Acer Switch 11 now, you can attach the tablet to the keyboard both forwards and backwards, so you can lean it backwards so it's laying flat, or at any angle in between - just like with the Surface. It feels like one of the first hybrids to get it right - but I'll...

My preference would moreover be that they retain the kickstand, while at the same time, implement a hinge dock/keyboard in lieu of the typecover - the best of both worlds more or less - not THAT would be unique.

I'd argue that they're choosing the surface for everything BUT the keyboard. They're buying it because it's pretty much the only laptop/tablet replacement in the 12' range with the specs it has. Everyone else still mostly has 10 or 13' designs, which feel either too small, or too large when...

But why wouldn't you want a better keyboard? Like, an actual keyboard that's as light as the current type cover and just as thin? I feel like that's where MS should be going with the SP4. From an buyer's perspective, the type cover just looks like a cheap compromise with its felt material...

Recently purchased the Acer Switch 11 after having had too many issues with my SP3's, and the magnetic hinge Acer's employed here is what Microsoft needs to copy for the SP4. The keyboard is still super light, but it's a full keyboard, with an excellent trackpad, and I've really noticed how...

I've gone through 5 or 6 SP3's now (can't remember...) due to a myriad of hardware issues, and have since gone with a cheaper alternative in the form of Acer's new 11.6 inch Aspire Switch. It's an i3 with only 4gigs and 128gigs of SS, but including the Microsoft store's current black Friday...

Tried out both the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro and HP Envy X2 Core M models today at my local Best Buy, and these things lag like nothing else. Just flicking the metro start screen left and right resulted in lag. The Envy was especially bad in it's keyboard responsiveness, as I'd type out a sentence...

Type Cover 6/10. It's passable, not as good as a real keyboard. Too bouncy and flimsy feeling when magnetized. Power Cover 7.5/10. It's better, with more throw on the keys, and just a sturdier, more robust typing experience. Onscreen Keyboard 1/10. I use it if I have to, if I'm just...

Feel free to shunt all of the Core M, Yoga 3 Pro, Dell Latitude pro 7000, and Apple threads in here then. Seriously, mods trolling posters in a Windows forum lol - what a joke. I think it probably will, just because it's incredibly bulky/heavy. If it doesn't, then HP's designers should...

This. My battery shows a different amount of degradation every day - as in, some days it's less, some days it's more. I'm currently above the original designated capacity, while a week ago I was below it. Unless you've got like 5% degradation or more, I'd say that the reading isn't at all...

Not sure if serious. Once the original thread is off the front-page of the SP3 forum, no one will ever post in here ever again. There have been only 4 threads started in this section. I figured what with the various Core-M threads that popped up in the SP3 forum over the past few months, this...
