    Can the i5 SP3 power a 4K monitor?

    Not sure. I thought perhaps the dock put out a better signal than the Mini DP on the SP3 itself. I dont have the dock anyways cause I want to keep the wires and clutter down on the desk. Its nice that this monitor has 3 USB 3.0 ports. I still cant believe how much of a difference it made...

    Can the i5 SP3 power a 4K monitor?

    Chiggz, Yes I got 50hz working too, need to use the Intel control panel. Wow is the text ever so much sharper with DP1.2 and not HDMI - MiniDP adaptor. I didnt think it would be any different but with HDMI, the chrome text was a bit fuzzy. But with the 1.2DP, its night and day different. WOW...

    Can the i5 SP3 power a 4K monitor?

    Just curious. Hoping to do it without the dock. I picked up an unreal deal on a 40" Philips 4K for $699CDN and wont open it unless the SP3 can power it. I have the i5 model.

    Going from the SP3 to the ipad pro

    Played with an ipad today at best buy (first time in almost 2 years that Ive used one, when I sold my air). Felt like such a compromise! I kept reaching for my pen (which I have on the side of my SP3 with the pen loop). Nope, nothing there on the ipad. Kept reaching for my type cover to...

    Is it worth buying the new SP4 type cover to use on my SP3?

    The only thing faulty is MS's quality control. Their hardware is the worst possible situation ever.

    Is it worth buying the new SP4 type cover to use on my SP3?

    Its just too bad the Pro 4 cover fails to work properly. Even the volume up and down keys dont work half of the time. Fail by MS and to charge $170cdn for it is simply fraud. They might as well sell an empty box.

    Great Surface Pen 4 Performance on Surface Pro 3

    Meh, no performance difference over the Pro 3 pen on the SP3.

    Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

    Same. If it happened mid use, I would have trashed this piece of garbage cover long ago.

    Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

    This is why MS h/w is so underwhelming. I dont know who the heck they are hiring to manufacturer these things, but they have as good quality control as a donut factory does. When I got my SP3 a year ago, I went through 3 of them and 4 or 5 keyboards. I went through so many I dont even remember...

    Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

    Moon , thats exactly what I get. Sometimes the touch will work but 2 finger scrolling wont work. Only way to get it back is reboot the machine. ANNOYING! Shouldnt be happening on a $170cdn keyboard! My guess is its a compatibility issue wit hthe Pro 4 cover on the Pro 3 cause i never had this...

    Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

    Then sounds like a h/w problem. Remember Im using this on a SP3, not 4. So your touchpad will all of a sudden stop working when coming from sleep?

    Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

    Other members had the same issue where the touchpad would randomly stop working? Then when I detach the TC and reattach it, the touchpad will work but the 2 finger scrolling in any browser will not. MS hardware is just a freakin joke, seriously. To have garbage like this happen on a...

    Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

    Where do I find the update? If its in windows system update then yes.

    Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

    Microsoft hardware is so underwhelming, my god. For a $170CDN device you would think it would have better quality than dollar store goods. Using the Pro 4 TC on the Pro 3. And all of a sudden out of nowhere the touchpad will stop working. The only way to get it working again is to detach the...

    SP4 Pen on SP3. Anyone try it out?

    Actually I tried it last week and really do like it. 1 - I do like the extra length it has over the Pro 3 pen. 2 - Love the eraser and no more button to search for by feel when erasing. 3 - Tried all the tips and prefer the one on the left where it has no friction. Compared to to the tip on the...

    Anyone here prefer the SP3 type cover over the SP4 cover?

    What would make these type covers the best is being able to use them as a BT keyboard. So you can use it on your home PC, etc. Cause there is no keyboard out to date that has the low profile keys of a type cover. I would kill to have these keys with 1.4mm travel on my work PC.

    Anyone else use canned air on their type cover?

    It works great especially with how thin it is, canned air is really the best way to get all the dust bunnies out. Hang the type cover upside down so the keys are facing the ground and spray away. You want the keys facing down so all the dust bunnies fall right out.

    SP4 Pen on SP3. Anyone try it out?

    That pretty much sums it up in what I noticed as well. You have more friction and you get 4 tips. Great. MS should sell the upgrade for SP3 users then for $8, not $80 (this is CDN $ of course). The Pro 4 isnt any more accurate than the Pro 3 pen is on the SP3. The Pro 4 pen puts out thicker...
