    Strange ink spiking

    In a meeting today I was using Drawboard PDF to take notes on a presentation. About half way through I started getting strange spiking on my handwritten words. It usually happened with an "h" or "l" or any letter that you have a taller upstroke (while writing in cursive). The spike would be a...

    Surface Pro 3 pen top button change to Onenote 2013

    Thank you mcsenerd...I would never have noticed that. I find it odd that this downloaded version seems to be different than the one I have....I would have assumed that a recent Office update would have equalized these two versions. It is strange that those of us that have Onenote already...

    Surface Pro 3 pen top button change to Onenote 2013

    I do not get the option under Advanced to "Make Onenote 2013 (desktop) the default OneNote application for OneNote links, notes, and clips". I tried following the steps above and reinstalling the free Onenote desktop version and then I think I found the problem. The free Onenote 2013 program...

    Protection Plans for your Surface Pro 3

    Where can you purchase Microsoft Complete? I bought my SP3 from the Microsoft online store but cannot figure out how to buy the extended warranty. Perhaps I am blind. Thanks in advance.

    Use Bitlocker or not?

    Thanks all. I was not sure if it came enabled by default or not so it is nice that Diamond.g has confirmed that his did. Also I like Kevin's suggestion to partition and just enable Bitlocker with the data partition.

    Use Bitlocker or not?

    Just curious how many people choose to use bitlocker or not. The SP3 could easily be stolen but with it such a closed up system, I would assume most thieves would be more interested in reformating the harddrive versus trying to tear up the SP3 and extract the harddrive to read the data. Thus...

    Absolutely great guide! Very well done and clear to follow. Any idea if it will work on the SP3?

    To Be SP3 Owners

    Sure enough...I ordered a red one on the first day of pre-orders....in fact, just an hour or so after it was opened up. Your message prompted me to check and the type cover says backordered whereas the Pro is "In process". Can others that ordered different colors please check and see if this...

    is SP3 really "in stores" - can i go check it out?

    I believe the shipping date of the pre-orders said "by June 20th" which indicates that it is possible they will ship earlier than this.

    N-trig

    Again I am not an artist but the pen is extremely important to me for note taking and to mark up presentations. The parallax on the Surface Pro was extremely frustrating and distracting to me (especially being a left hander). It really seems this has all been corrected now....for me this is a...

    N-trig

    Does anyone know if the N-trig pen will feature an "eraser" function when you turn the pen over, such as the pen with the SP1 & SP2?

    N-trig

    Here is a pretty good review of N-trig vs Wacom. He also makes note that Wacom can be even worse for left handed people. Page 2 - Pen computing returns: Revenge of the stylus | ExtremeTech

    N-trig

    I fully agree....I am not an artist so I use pen mainly for notes/presentations. I have the N-trig on my Sony Vaio and I love it compared to the inaccurate tip that I have constantly had on my SP1. Personally, I am very happy about this change from Wacom as long as palm rejection is not...

    Surface Pro 3 launched - 12" tablet, 9mm thick, 2160x1440

    I disagree with this. I have a Vaio Flip that uses the N-Trig and I find it far superior to the wacom implementation on the Surface Pro. Perhaps because I am left handed but the accuracy of the SP pen has never been good, and even borders on terrible/unusable near the edges. The Vaio is...

    To Be SP3 Owners

    Inking on PDFs

    I use PDF Annotator nearly everyday. I have no problems with palm rejection. I do prefer OneNote but agree with riggi that printing large PDFs to OneNote does not seem too efficient (plus you cannot then print them correctly). PDF Annotator seems to be the best solution for me although it...

    Pen Accuracy

    Just as a followup...I contacted the developers at PDF Annotator and received a very quick response which impressed me (shown below). They do not think it can be software related but are investigating a few things. With Riggi's confirmation, I am positive that the accuracy problem seems to be...

    Pen Accuracy

    Does it seem to you that the pen calibration and accuracy is dependent on the application? I have the latest drivers, I have run and rerun the 100pt calibration and been meticulously careful to hold the pen the same way I write, etc. I have noticed that OneNote tends to be spot on (excuse...

    New Surface Pro Wacom Pen Drivers Adds Extra Settings!

    You are right, my sincere apologies. I could swear that the first time I clicked the link, it took me to the generic Wacom page asking me which language I wanted, and not this specific page. Perhaps it is because I was in China when I clicked it? Anyway, now it is working perfectly. Thanks...
