    New Surface Pro (2017) Official Thread

    I have been on the fence about the i7. I do photo work, but not video. I really like the idea of a fanless design, and also the cost of course; but I would like to have 512G SSD. I have only another day to return, so will likely keep the i5. Plus, the migration of a month's configuration...

    New Surface Pro (2017) Official Thread

    First off, I am baffled as to why this forum has been unable to setup a new 2017 Surface Pro forum in over a month. You are shooting yourself in the foot because all the relative traffic on this device is shifting to other forums. I like this place, but I'm coming here less and less because of...

    Touch won't work if you use Pen

    That is not normal behavior. I use my pen and touch almost simultaneously without an issue.

    Buy SP4 now or wait for SP5

    I've had the new SP for almost a month. I played with the HP in Best Buy for a few minutes. I've not laid eyes on the Dell. My opinion is the new SP is a great machine. I have the i5, so totally silent operation and performance has been great. I am getting 8-10 hours of usage on a charge...

    Is windows 10 and surface pro dependable

    I am a Mac and Windows guy. Our whole company of xx,xxx folks use Windows 10 primarily... and most companies that are staying current on things are as well. I have had a Surface Pro (2017) for about 3 weeks and use it every day for my work. Been at a conference and at client sites this week...

    Two monitors AND the Surface itself?

    Yes, but there are display size limits depending on how many. I just tested this by adding a second external display to my dock, and had all three visible. My main external is a 4k display, and the one I added was an HDMI 1080P display connected with an HDMI to MiniDV dongle. And of course...

    First time docking, problems with Bluetooth mouse!

    That's a bummer you are having a problem with your mouse. I assume you've tried the obvious like fresh batteries and unpairing/pairing again? Have you also tried using it in a different physical location in your house/office. I had a mouse that would stop working sometimes and I'd move it 6"...

    Got mine !

    Its not... that's why Microsoft has replaced them for people who have the problem. I don't believe in most cases it gets worse over time.

    Who's getting one?

    I've been in the tech industry for nearly 40 years too, and I don't believe I'll regret my decision in a couple of years. I bought into Thunderbolt via Apple and that proved out to be a waste. It never really got adopted. A standard adapter that doesn't have a standard spec is not a standard...

    Who's getting one?

    Just because you've been lucky doesn't mean that you will continue to be. This is a widespread problem that you have apparently not noticed: Finding Compatible USB-C Accessories is a Total Crapshoot USB-C compatibility problems are the worst! | Pocketnow Total Nightmare: USB-C and Thunderbolt...

    Who's getting one?

    Interesting... if the Surface Pro had come with only USB-C like the Macs, I'd need a dongle for every single device I use with it. So what do you use that requires USB-C, or do you just enjoy using dongles?

    This is for you if you take extensive notes -- any good solutions on finding/structuring/sorting?

    In case anyone else finds this thread and is looking for additional OneNote organizational ideas... here's a great video on the subject ->

    Solved Preorder confirmation

    My experience with Microsoft's Online Store was pretty bad. I pre-ordered the same model in the US when it was announced, and it never shipped. Ended up canceling the order and walking into the local store and buying one. But, you said you pre-ordered it... is it not already available in...

    New Member trying Windows for the first time since XP :)

    Welcome... give yourself time to go through the learning curve. I've been a Mac user for many years and the new Surface Pro is the first windows computer I've bought in a very long time. I have had Windows at work, so not foreign to me; but we just got Windows 10 about a month ago. Both...

    Construction apps for Surface pro

    You may want to put this in the right forum... you are talking about Surface Pro and posted this in the Surface Studio forum. The only construction related app I use is Microsoft Project which works quite well, but that isn't a defect tracking tool. Most defect tracking tools we use in the...

    Pen Reliability on new Pro (5)

    I don't think anyone can comment on long term reliability of the pen. What I can say is that the new pen on the new Surface Pro (to me) is a lot better than the SP4. I find it to be very natural and fluid, in comparison to the SP4. One of the main reasons I got the nSP was for pen based not...
