Just saw the Mission Impossible film as mentioned before. Surface Pro 3 there in a lot of scenes, but none show the kickstand or keyboard - tablet use only. Also Lumia 930's plenty of them (or other Nokia's perhaps) AND xbox games made an appearance too. Definitely a lot of Microsoft product...

I'm even getting display driver crashes on my Desktop PC (win 10) now. i don notice any issue I just get a notification. I haven't actually had them on my SP3, though I know it affects SP4's, not sure how bad but as far as I know it crashes and instantly recovers.

Not sure if it works with the SP3 pen TBH, I didn't try it.

Which pen/surface are you using? I'm usign a SP4 Pen on SP3 and I didn't get any options until I updated the drivers on the Surface Pen to the SP4 versions, then suddenly the customisation options appeared in the Surface app.

No I'm afraid I haven't used the older models. @vxm may be able to help with some questions on the graphics capability, he's done some awesome artwork on Surface pro 3.

Well I guess there may be some truth in that but I've been using my SP3 as a laptop replacement for over a year without finding I've compromised in anyway over my previous laptops. I use it 95% of the time in laptop mode... so definitely more than "occasional laptop functionality". It really...

Yep love my upgrade to SP4 type cover. Also love the pen upgrade too, definitely makes my SP3 feel like a new machine.

To be honest I havent' noticed too much with Clip studio. It's pretty quiet and the i7 SP3 was notorious for getting hot. when the fan does blow it's usually something else going on in the background like it's downloading updates, or virus scanning. I also found that using Edge caused it to...

I agree that the SP4 seems like a better bet for you, the i7 with iris graphics would be the one I'd plump for if I was going to update my SP3, however the SP3 is still fine for my purposes (photography, some drawing/sketching, coding and other general stuff) throttling never bothered me as long...

I settled on using clip studio (also known as Manga studio). It's really good software (desktop) allows layers etc and works very well on my Surface. I also have photoshop CC but prefer clip studio for drawing.

See this post (which was in a thread in the Surface Book forum whcih is why it took me a while to find it). I did that on my SP3 this morning as the SP4 pen had never paired properly with my SP3. (I didn't really care since I rarely used the button anyway but now that there's more...

I had artrage crashing on my SP3, that was the app version rather than the desktop version though.

That's true too, in power options I set mine to run "high performance" when plugged in and "balanced" when on battery. Actually ut just occurred to me that my Lightroom import and rendering I mentioned above was done on battery so not even with the Surface operating at full CPU capacity...

Ah ha. That's what's up with mine. Thenone works fine except the Bluetooth bits but I never really used them so hadn't thought much of it. Thankss

It definitey does get hotter when the charger is plugged in, in fact you can feel it's warm around the charger area. I generally don't have mine plugged in unless it really needs it. to be fair I don't often use PS CC, but I do use Lightroom quite a lot, in Lightroom it does use the fan heavily...

[email protected] would be cool

Ahh I see. Thanks for that.

Oh just found you can disable the windows key by modifying the registry... not sure I'd be brave enough myself and as I do actually find some of the windows key shortcuts useful (win + D and win + L mainly) I wouldn't do it but perhaps for you it might help. EDIT: THese instructions are not...

Yeah I realised that when I was typing the reply. I don't know any way to disable it on the keyboard. I sometimes press it also even though I've never used a mac so never been used to that layout. I can't find anything specific for switching the keys about to apple style, except this: The...

No there's a small battery in the pen top on the sp3 pen that powers the one note button.
