Pssh! You may want AC but you don't NEED AC to do any of that. What you need is to drop some ethernet cable. Or are you one of those people who have extreme conditions and do teragigaplex data transfers across castle moats with 10 tablets watching Huluflix and also PS4/Steam/Atari streaming on...

Bah. Who needs AC? I'm getting 27MB down with Wireless-N and that's the same speed if I plug in directly to my router. And that's on 2.4GHz, too. I have 30MB capped on Comcast, so I'm pretty thrilled about that.

Do yourself a favor and get a Ubiquiti UniFi Long Range AP. Full signal strength in every corner of my house.

Expensive? Really? That's a pretty relative term. I fully expect many more than 10 here in Houston.

Yesterday in the Microsoft store (and also previously on the phone) I was told that online pre-orders were shipping ON the Friday the 20th, so not to expect it delivered until the following week. They also told me that I had to pre-order in the store by today (6/13) to have a guaranteed unit on...

Yikes! It took me about 10 minutes. I had my order number and email, so that helped I guess. They were really trying to convince me not to cancel. Even after I told them that I pre-ordered in a store. I guess they are measured on how many cancellations they prevent.

I just drove to my local store and pre-ordered another one. No credit card required... just an email address. They said that as long as I order by tomorrow, I'm guaranteed one on the 20th. They open at 10am (7am-9am for corporate pre-orders) so I'll be there at 11am. I'm going to try to win...

Nice! So I assume if I pre-ordered online that I won't be able to pick up in-store? Maybe I should order from the store instead.

Glyde.com is quoting $889 for a SP2. Did you look at other sites than Gazelle?

Can I ask what you got for your trade in?

Gizmodo review Surface Pro 3 Review: The Greatest Laptop-Tablet Hybrid You Don't Need It doesn't sound like a stamp of approval, but I think it's a really good review and makes me want it even more. His complaints aren't really problems. Who really thinks the 2-step process to open the SP3...

Bumping this question. I haven't heard about OneDrive with the SP3 yet. Any thoughts?

Yeah, that's how I ordered mine. Basically paid for the Type cover. Gunna help since I'm also buying MS Complete warranty after it arrives. While I am a graduate student... a 43 year old one at that... it didn't ask me for my email address. I did have to get a coupon code when I bought my...

Panos said it best... the tablet that can replace your laptop. And 96% of people who own an iPad also own a laptop. The Surface Pro is supposed to be both. How can you pitch "you only need one device" and at the same time offer a tablet-only device. RT negates the value proposition of the...

Not listening isn't always a bad thing. Apple is notorious for not using focus groups. The public will cry about what they want today. But they don't know what they want tomorrow. That said, sales will influence change, too. Steve Jobs was adamant about the size of his iPhone... "no one...

I agree about the external hard drives. Since I got my Surface Pro 2, I use the 200GB OneDrive a lot now. I still have a USB drive connected to my wireless router but I haven't used it in a long while. I can also tell you that I use the microSD card for my File History drive and also for...

Follow up question... has there been any word that Microsoft is giving away 200GB of OneDrive storage (and free Skype year) as they did with the SP2?

Yeah, but 2160x1440 is greater than 6% more than 1400x900. I'm curious about how he got that figure. Just sounds kinda contrived. The idea of getting the workspace of a 13.3" on a 12" is very alluring. I have a Surface RT and a Surface Pro 2 today. I'm selling both of them as soon as my...

Listening to Panos talk about "content area", I'm curious what he means by that. He says that the PS3 has 6% more content area than a Macbook Air 13.3". But the screen area of the MBA 13 is 79.5 square inches (11.3 x 7). The SP3 has a screen area of 66.46 square inches (10 x 6.7). The MBA...

Yeah, but when he had performance issues, he was at full max resolution. And of course, while using graphics demanding software. I use Photoshop, too, but there's no way I'd use it at max resolution on a 12" display. He acknowledges that when dropping down the resolution, the performance...
