@ctitanic ....that was not my intent in the post. I find 99% of what you post extremely informative and helpful but I do think how Jnjroach initially warned the members to keep it civil and offer his alternatives was the best solution.

I think Jnjroach DID his job, that was never the concern. I was just surprised that a post about why someone returned the SP3 brought out so many "get off our forum" comments. I definitely do not want to ban or report anyone. Just thought it was odd that a general post, which I thought was...

I find some comparisons very informative, particularly the one that Microsoft made to the Macbook Air. I never purchased or used the Air, only the MBP. I had no idea that the MBA was so popular as shown at Microsoft SP3 launch. It seemed underpowered for my needs. I also never really...

Anyone actually try PC Mover and Drive Image? Sounds like it's promising if it doesn't replace the drivers or overwrite the new OS.

I returned my i5, 256 SP3 (hated to do it) for various reasons. I think most of it was just software, but didn't want to chance it on the last day of the return period. I did order the I7 256 SP3 from Staples with 15% off all technology coupon. This took the total price Below the I5 SP3...

^Dodgers It's generally not a good idea to assume or attack others like you did in other posts simply because you don't find something relevant. This forum is about the SP3 (hardware), which was compared to the Macbook Air in it's launch, compared to tablets in it's commercials and weighed...

I have to ask, what exactly is the purpose of this SP3 forum, if we can't "really" discuss our opinions of the SP3, whether good or bad? One of the posts here was actually locked when a member explained he returned his SP3 and the reasons. Some of his reasons included that he still needed to...

Returned my SP3 today. It was very hard to do but couldn't let the 30 days return pass. I had many issues with the SP3, the last straw being that my surface would not recognize my WD external drive and kept saying that it needed to repair itself when restarting. This was very hard to part...

I will preface my opinion by saying the SP3 handles 90% of what I do on a laptop and 100% of what I did on a tablet. In fact I've been trying to dream up excuses to use my Samsung Android tablet and my MacBook pro. I can understand those that say it works fine for their use and are happy...

I believe there is a Hi rest fix for Google chrome that involves importing or changing a registry key. Search Google for Chrome hi rest fix.

Check to see if you have an update waiting to be installed. However, this update was really addressing the Wifi dropping, but may make a difference for your Ethernet connection.

What power setting and screen brightness are you using?

This is what fixed it for me. You will also gain the ability to set your own customer power profile for the SP3.

@JesseDiaz: I do agree that the i5 is a good balance and besides the normal wi-fi issues, haven't had any problems. Just want to future proof this as much as possible. @Kif: I'm really hoping that MS will have worked on the firmware to improve the throttling issues by the time the I7 is...

I'm thinking about upgrading to the I7 version of the Surface Pro, but wanted to see if you guys/girls thought it was worth the trouble for a small increase in speed? I have the I5 SP3, 256GB with 8MB of Ram. I use this for Audio production, Testing of software and general Also, is there a...

Jeff, 60% is for better than the 35% that most are Using as a tweak just to get anywhere near those numbers.

Love Butter and Eggs. I find that possibly ok for night or very dark viewing, but my eyes are older and more sensitive to the banding (PWM) at levels below 65% or so. I can't see many professionals using it that level for real world use (not saying you guys are not professional, but all day...

how and why would you use this device with a 35% brightness for extended periods? you cant even enjoy the beautiful colors that MS affords us. We need to really push for more user oriented reporting rather than say ridiculous statements like 6 hours is great with a barely visible screen. That...

Again I ask, how and why would you use this device with a 35% brightness? you cant even enjoy the beautiful colors that MS affords us. We need to really push for more user oriented reporting rather than say ridiculous statements like 6 hours is great with a barely visible screen. That...

What is light duty for you and at what brightness setting? why use a $1000 plus computer just on light duty when MS says you can get all day use? Some points from what was actually said: 1. Is this constanst browsing of the 25 web pages? 2. Doesn't Bluetooth enable the One Note quick...
