I did have a SP3 (my wife has it now), and I carried it in a padded sleeve. Generally, it was in my briefcase when I took it anywhere. Now that I have the S3 (loving it!), I do the same. Around the house I carry it with the type cover closed. When I go out it's in a padded sleeve, and that's...

I bought the SB i5/256/dGPU, and returned it...beautiful machine. Aside from all the driver issues causing all sorts of problems, after using it for a few weeks, I realized I paid a lot of money for a laptop that really didn't, ultimately, match my use case. I don't really have to have a literal...

General question - of which, I'm sure there are differing opinions: I have complimentary subscriptions to both McAfee and Trend Micro virus protection for my S3. If this was for my desktop or some other beast of a machine, I wouldn't be concerned as I am with the S3. Your opinions then: do you...

Will keep the old MS dock since it still works at this point. I had a new dock for a few weeks while I tried out the SB, and the new dock was nice too. Didn't try running 2 4k monitors from it, though, since a number of people have found out you can't.

Having had a SP3, Surface Book, ThinkPad Yoga 14 and now the S3, I have to say I really like the S3. It handles any ordinary personal/business matters easily (keeping in mind the processor is a Z8700 Atom so heavy, graphic intensive work would do better with an iCore processor). Having said...

Yes - for any and all Surface(s). I have (my wife has it now) a SP3 and I use a S3. Both have type covers. To me, they are essential. I also like the fact that for just carrying around, the folded type cover makes it easier to carry while protecting the Surface to some degree.

About the new pen, I followed the directions given in one of the threads about installing SP4 pen drivers (for my S3), and it worked. In the Surface app I now have the ability to change what the top button (eraser) does. I set mine to open desktop OneNote 2016, but I left the other options as...

I finally went with FireFox a while back for both my SP3 and Note3 so browser items would sync, and because Chrome has a reputation I decided to avoid. I've got an S3 now, and I've had it a little over a week. It's froze one time only. I was in FireFox just scrolling down the page on, I think...

Yes, but most of these things have been returnable, so not too great an expense. Some don't need a lot of horsepower at their desk, so the S3 with dock and all the goodies will provide the desktop and a mobile device both. Some require the horsepower so a powerful laptop/SP4 or desktop is the...

I just ordered a couple of pen loops from the Microsoft Store online (the pen loops that came with the SP3). I the one that came with my SP3 (my wife has the SP3 now but the pen loop is still attached), and I had no problems with it at all. I stuck it on the left side back just above the...

I was just scrolling in my browser when it locked up - everything froze. Had to hold down on power until it shut down then rebooted. I've only had it since last week, but this is the first occurrence. Since I had no other processes except scrolling in the browser, I wonder if it had a display...

You're right...full circle will complete in another week or so. But, my thinking has come full circle, for me anyway :D

Strange how things go around and come around... Some time ago I had a desktop for my office. Then the SP3 came out. I absolutely believed that if I could just put everything onto my SP3 (one device), all would be well. So I did that, SP3, dock etc, and all my stuff. Worked great (except for...

Does that require anything special (moving OneDrive to an SD card) or do you just copy and paste?

Well, I just realized that my shiny new pen won't attach to my S3 magnetically. Guess I'll have to go hunting for pen loops.

Well, pulled the trigger on the S3 4/128 along with the type cover and new pen! I think this little guy is going to work well for my TP Yoga 14 backup as well as fill in on the mobile side so I can leave my TP hooked up to everything on my office desktop. Looking forward to the S3 as my...

Are you talking about the S3 locking up completely? Or are you referring to a display driver crash while in a browser? If the latter, those are occurring across the Surface/Surface Book line. They are driver issues that will get worked out as Win10 matures. There seems to be issues with Intel...

Around Wednesday or Thursday Microsoft dropped their base S3 price from $499 to $399. If you select it to purchase, you're then offered the type cover for $79+. The following day Best Buy put the same price on their site too (don't know about the type cover because I haven't checked that out...

You know, it's too much negativity to go through what else happened on this MS Complete Care thing. Suffice to say I was on the literal verge of filing a complaint with MS Corporate when the last person I spoke with on the phone, after giving me the corporate address to send my complaint...

Hope the replacement works perfectly! After ups and downs with two SP3's and then a SB, I finally returned my SB yesterday. Very nice device, but I realized it was actually overkill for my needs. Plus, after software/firmware issues for a year with the SP3's plus hardware failures on both, and...
