Here is what is presented as the "facts" by MSFT Surface Pro 3 The tablet that can replace your laptop Battery Life: Up to 9 hours of web browsing4. 4 Testing consisted of full battery discharge while Internet browsing over WiFi. Internet browsing was tested browsing 25 popular web pages...

I'm getting the same, 4-5 hours on SP3 I7. Brightness is set to about 65% on battery, anything less is unusable to me and strains my eyes. I will have to check mail frequency, as I do monitor several mailboxes for professional work. I sold my SP1 with the power cover. Definitely regretting...

Good Post. Thanks for posting this.

Yes, I turned off the balance power profile by enabling Hyper-V and set it to the Power Profile. When I just did the CPU benchmarking, it had no Thermal throttling but 100% Power throttling. It did pass CPU with a very high score but was too much for Graphics.

It looks like the Under-Volting was TOO aggressive. It will pass the CPU benchmarking, but hang and restart on the Graphics stress test. I'm reducing the CPU to -55 and slowly moving Graphic offset up till stable.

When I said "this salesman" I was referring to the salesman from (Apple) not MS.

Anyone have success with Under-volting ? I've had some increases in performance with little to no thermal throttling. During normal benchmarking, the CPU would generally drop below 2GHZ within 5 min of testing with thermal throttling. After Under-volting , I'm seeing no thermal throttling and...

IMO, to say you didn't expect the SP3 to do "at least" what the salesman (Panay) said it would is a cop out. SP3 is an incredible piece of engineering, but don't sell me on a Corvette ZR1 and then it performs like a Mazda Miata. Why not use the machine if it serves your needs, get your...

I've had the i5 and without officially testing it seems faster overall. things just snap into place much better than the i5 version. this is very subjective, but other than heat, I say go for it. you can always return it if you want to downgrade.

Here is a very interesting video on everything you wanted to know about the Intel extreme tuning utility (XTU) and how to upload\download tweaked profiles to apply to your system.

One guy reports this on reddit I picked up the i7 today, and after doing all the updates (some updates I didn't see until the afternoon which made me feel they were released today) but when I did the Intel extreme utility CPU stress test for ten minutes, it only throttled down to 2.09 to 2.39...

Anyone try Gimp? It's free and just as powerful as PhotoShop.

Picked mine up today from Staples... Tax free weekend. SP3 i7 256.

I have the same scenario. However, it seems you should be able to mount the image file and Pc Mover should be able to work from the existing image. If not, mount the image, it should appear as a complete OS and then let PC Mover back that up to it's format.

Is the Staples 15% off coupon still available? I see one that expired on July 20.<br/> Check with your local staples. Latest offer ended on July 27th but my local store still let me use the coupon. Talk to the manager.

Agreed

What I learned was that, not everyone has the same experience and it all can be relevant without trying to own a forum.
