    How Secure is Your Keyboard Pen Loop?

    It seems the pen loop can only remain attached up to one re-attachment. I stuck the pen loop first then decided it wasn't the spot I wanted so I removed it again. I re-attached it somewhere and then it stayed there. A month later, I decided I want to align it with the Surface brand on the...

    my surface pro 3 arrived today

    Having a battery meter on Surface Pro 3 would be a death sentence for them... 1 hour of writing using the pen drains 30% of the battery. It shuts itself off at 5% too.

    sharing my BestBuy experience

    If there are any problems with the device that Microsoft supplied to them, they can actually refund it from Microsoft so that shouldn't be a problem with any retailer.

    Poll What is your shutdown and charging habit?

    I turn mine off when I know I can't use it for long periods of time. I charge it 3 hours before I sleep and turn it off and open it in the morning

    Who is running without virus software?

    Windows Defender. This is just my device for working. I don't visit dodgy websites on it. My desktop is for those purposes

    How do you hold your Surface Pro 3?

    I only hold mine in portrait mode because if I held mine with both hands in landscape, I always end up touching the start button. I know I can turn off the start button but I don't like turning off things that I would be turning on again afterwards.

    Ahhhh...wifi issue is maddening

    My SP3 doesn't have this issue with my Wi-Fi at home but it does at my college. Every time I put it to sleep, it loses connection and I have to manually re-connect. Must be with how the wi-fi is set up at my school.

    Urban Armor case...

    as much as I love cases like these, I won't be using it on my SP3. I did get the Sp3 for its sleekness and weight and I just can't get myself to attach something so bulky on it...although I do cringe when I lightly bump my sp3 on stuff...

    Why does the SP3 have so many files?

    if only windows defender showed what files it was scanning, I wouldn't be so dumbfounded by the sheer amount of files. @ctitanic, oh I see. I get it now. It does make sense considering this is a different OS with different applications running and features.

    Screen Protector - Yes or No?

    If you're using the type cover and keep it attached while on storage, you should have no reason to use screen protectors. I'm sure the pen is designed not to scratch the screen.

    Why does the SP3 have so many files?

    Well, no. My laptop is using Windows 7. Does Windows 8.1 Pro have thousands of mini-files to make it run?

    Surface Pro 3 i5 vs Surface Pro 3 i7 - which one to get

    If you're the type of person who buys a device and stick to it until it gets broken, get the i7. If you're the type of person who tends to upgrade when a newer version of the device comes out, get the low to mid range, the i5 or something. I only got the i3 version since it's my first time using...

    kickstand free play

    my kickstand also wobbles for about 1/3 of an inch. I only had it for 3 weeks though. I didn't even notice it was wobbling until today. I will go out tomorrow and check if the SP displays on the stores also wobbles this way

    Why does the SP3 have so many files?

    I've done a windows defender full scan on my sp3 which I've only had for 3 weeks and it scanned over 590,000 files. I've done a full scan on my 3-year old laptop where I keep my music, my pictures and everything and it only had 280,000 files.
