    Surface Pro 3 Eye Strain, and how I got rid of it. BUYERS BEWARE!!

    They are many LED backlight LCD monitor that uses a dimmer circuit. Look at most Dell UltraSharp series monitor and most of the new models of the P series (Professional) monitors. ASUS also makes LED backlit displays without using a PWM and using a dimmer circuit. To know which has what, you...

    Surface 3 vs. BayTrail the comparison that everybody wanted & nobody did w Bonus Snapdragon 810

    Neowin upgraded the Surface 3 review unit they have to Windows 10 Build 10061. It was painful in terms of wait. It took 2h to install, and 45min to update to the latest build. They think that the problem is that CPU overheats due to lack of cooling and throttles. So this is something to keep in...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Windows 10 is essentially done. There will be MAYBE a few features here and there, at best, but core part of what they wanted to implement has been implemented. Now it is just polishing, and finishing off apps, and gui. Windows 10.1 is already schedules for end 2016, so they will most likely add...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Yea. I already planned to do a clean install when the Consumer Preview comes out, and of course once Windows 10 is official release as always (I don't like to carry beta and debug stuff over)

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I think it is because they had issues in providing a stable enough build. And now they are probably working really hard for a Consumer Release, which will probably be out during or right after Microsoft BUILD event which starts April 29.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    You are on build 10049, same for me. But your Cortana icon on the task bar is different. I have the standard Search icon, you have the circle from the earlier builds.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Microsoft is aiming for a summer release. They are pressured to as well. Windows 10.1 is already scheduled for end of 2016 (possibly October). If you look at the user voice forum, many ideas are marked as "backlog", that is "We most likely won't have time to implement it, but we will be working...

    Screen refresh rate?

    haha! Yea. I do recall being it a problem. As I said, I am sensitive to PWM driven monitor, so I did all my research on this.And at the time resources was not available like today. Had to talk to professors and engineers on LCD technology (well at university) and read some technical stuff in...

    SPECULATIVE: Performance gap (chasm) between Surface 3 and Low end Surface Pro 4

    I don't care about benchmarks. Intel drivers does trick to fool the score in a higher value in their drivers. I want real game performance comparison.

    SPECULATIVE: Performance gap (chasm) between Surface 3 and Low end Surface Pro 4

    The fastest Core M CPU integrated graphics is slower than the the Core i5 4200U which is the 4400, despite the Intel put the Core M a higher number on it's GPU model. I hope they wont' switch as already the Surface Pro 3 is slower than the Surface Pro 2 due to throttling. Skylake power...

    Screen refresh rate?

    Fun fact: If you look at compact fluorescence light bulb that have been used a lot or a fluorescent lighting, you'll see that they turn black at some areas. That is the phosphor layer that burned over time, hence why they dim as the light 'bulb' age. :)

    Screen refresh rate?

    Heuu no Lesshor, doesn't work that way. @Ordnas, If you check again, you'll notice it is back at 59Hz! :) The reason why you have both, and why it reverts back to 59Hz, is quite interesting. The LCD panel is actually 59.94Hz, which Windows 7 and up considers "TV-Compatible", which is needed...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Not worth it, I say. Despite the excitement of jumping on a new build, Microsoft is expected (nothing official) to release a new build of Windows 10 after Microsoft BUILD event on April 29. So just in a few days... well about 2 weeks.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    A new release of Win10 should be released at Microsoft BUILD event. That is April 29th. So if you can wait, it might be worth waiting, then downloading 10049, clean install it, and re-download another 2-3GB download for the new build in a few weeks.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    For me, I mostly type my notes. But I do use the pen for sketching, writhing math formulas and so on. Things that I can't do in seconds on laptop, so it is important for me.

    What Panos says about SP4 - "Nothing"

    Companies tend to never reveal product information about new coming up products until the are released. This for a variety of reasons, such as: -> Hurt sales of the current product which may be affected for months until the new model is released. -> Give information to competitors and could...
