    Power & Sleep

    No. I have a "laptop backpack" which has a padded pocket for a laptop. I have an American Tourister but I also have used Samsonite. http://www.ebags.com/category/backpacks/laptop-backpacks/dept/backpacks

    Power & Sleep

    My SB is either on a desk/lap or in my backpack. I don't have a need for a sleeve. If it's going on the road, it's going in my backpack. :)

    Touchpad shortcut for Back Page?

    Is there a shortcut while using the the touchpad to go back a page? Like a 3-finger-tap or something like that? For the record, the SP4 touchpad is the best windows touchpad I've ever used. 2-finger scrolling is awesome. Thanks!!

    Bought the Surface Pro 4 today. (An upgrade from Surface Pro 2)

    My US SP4 came with a 1 month trial, which I'm using.

    Convince me to buy the SP4 despite so many issues

    I've had my SP4 i5/8GB for about a week now. The only problem I've had was one display driver error. One. It never came back. Works great! My only gripe is that the fans kick in while watching YouTube. Not sure why, my SP3 doesn't do that.

    Yesterday my AmEx was charged for my i7/16/512 pre-order (ordered Oct 15). No shipping notification yet. I assume it's coming soon.

    To those upgrading from SP3 --> SP4, what will you do with your old one?

    Trade in your used Surface Get up to $700 toward a new Surface. Score an extra $100 value when you trade up to a Surface Pro 4. Surface Trade-In

    Simple solution to many problems = Internet Explorer

    Have any of you tried this? Using a Hosts File To Make The Internet Not Suck (as much) It blocks some things that can make things difficult, like ads embedded in videos (videos that force a pre-ad). But overall, this speeds up Chrome a bunch and is a mild way to prevent viruses.

    Given the wrong model? No GPU shown

    Maybe run the command msinfo32 to see more details. Look under Components > Display

    Does the SB have auto-dimming screen?

    One on the things I hate about the XPS 13 is that the display automatically dims based on the screen's darkness. I'm not talking about the adaptive brightness in the Power Settings. The Dell "feature" is cooked into the BIOS and isn't adjustable. It's super distracting. Especially in...

    Amazing amount of problems with Surface Book

    This thread reeeeeally makes me want to cancel my pre-order. Maybe the new XPS15 and a SP4 would be a better combo. The Surface Book 2 may be worth waiting for.

    To Book or Not to Book...

    I agree that this device is not directly pitched as a gaming rig. Like others have said, casual gaming should be fine. I think the Surface line has always been targeting the enterprise. When I was in corporate IT, we had two basic laptops... a "standard" config and an "engineering" config...

    Official I ordered a Surface Book

    Just ordered a i7/512/16 Surface Book on pre-order with a ship date of 5-6 weeks. It's going to replace my XPS13 (2015). I like it but I really want discrete graphics and 16 GB RAM. I considered the new Dell XPS15, but it's 1 lb heavier than the SB and lacks stylus. I have a SP3 so...

    Stop WiFi syncing

    In addition to my SP3, I also have a Dell XPS 13 2015. Both have been upgraded to Windows 10. Much of the syncing is fine, such as wallpapers. But I find that the WiFi connections sync, too. Basically, I want my SP3 to use my house WiFi only. And my XPS needs to be connected to my mobile...
