I work in a corporate environment (real estate, and no im not a REALTOR because I get asked this 58 times a day) where its an "Apple or nothing" mentality. Each REALTOR gets handed an ipad 4 as a gift once they join the company. It is everyones mobile working device. Every single one of them...

oh oucn, i definitely am not gonna buy new monitors just to daisy chain. i might bring my monitor and the usb video adaptor into the MS store this week and see if they can figure it out.

support said theres no way to reset the display connections. they also said theres apparently a cable you can buu that you daisy chain the first monitor to the 2nd. not sire what its called, but i wouldnt mind this, if the cable isnt too pricey. then i can sell my usb diamond video card and...

how do you do this? The device is otherwise-stellar.lam willing to forgive microsoft. just have to carry my 3 button mouse.

First off, I have to say the trackpad is garbage. Its not total garbage but coming from a Mac trackpad, this is not even in the same universe. My biggest complain about it is that its too short height wise and that it is always freezing up! The cursor will move but the scrolling doesnt work...

I know SP3 and windows cant handle different scaling percentages to different monitor, it all has to be the same. I didnt know this, otherwise i wouldnt have done it. I wanted to scale my desktop on my SP3 screen from 100% to 150% as 100 was just not bearable. Prior to this i was able to run...

Im using the full screen res and find the start menu and windows text too small. Any way to make this larger? I know i can lower the screen res, but then its not near as sharp. I tried 1920x1080 and it didnt look as good

Maybe its just me, but a personal pet peeve of mine is that Im SUPER picky about keyboard flex on laptops and this is obviously a bit different on the SP3 because its a fabric housed keyboard and not plastic. So whether or not my keyboard is completely perfectly flat on the table when its...

I agree, using as tablet, it feels much better without the cover. With the cover on, it feels too clunky and i dont feel comfortable having the keys mashed. The magnet seems strong and most likely wont become less effective over time from all the attach/detaching of the cover. But for me, I...

Th Thanks, done. :)

Thanks for the replies. I will just have to get used to the heat this thing puts out on my lap. Been using ipads over the past 4 years in bed as my go to reading device so it will take some adjustment. Maybe Im the only one who is extra cautious. I will have to make a habit of shutting down...

where are the vents?

Okay thjanks. Another question. Do you guys take your keyboard off each time? OR do you leave it on and fold it back? My worry is that the magnets will wear out over time and it wont attach as well from all the attaching and detaching.

Because the SP3 gets hot and has a fan so it needs to ventilate hot air out. Should we pretty much treat this like a laptop? If so then i would probably be cautious in how much you use it in bed and have it laying on bedsheets and couches.

Im now on my 3rd SP3 AND 4TH keyboard Fingers crossed. It seems MS can never make a keyboard without problem. Stickying keys is unacceptable especially for $130. I had to show the BB rep...they thought i was crazy. Until the geek squad noticed it too and said its not normal, swap it out again

Just swapped my keybord and SP3 again. Tested the new one in the store and yes it lays flat. Will go home to test *fingers crossed*

This will be my 3rd trip back and im not impressed. Im not sure what im going to do about my new surface not laying completely flat on the table. WTF is up with that? oh my first touch cover, none of the keys in the top row worked!

Well I just got my new SP3, and new black cover. I have to make yet another trip back. The backspace key isnt pretty correctly. And my surface backing isnt completely flat. When I have it on the table, I can press the bottom right corner down. WTF!!!! Great quality control MS!!!!!

I got it from Best Buy and Im going there in an hour to swap the SP3 for another one. Really bummed that mine has a dead pixel and couple strands of fuzzy hair underneath. Like wtf. How does hair get under the screen? I just hope the new one doesnt have any hardware issues or the famous bent...

I have to exchange mine this morning, just found a dead pixel and looks like two small pieces of hair under the screen. Unaceptable. Is there a way to backup all my settings so that when i get the new one i can just sync it? I really would hate to have to do everything all over again.
