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

    I'll repeat what I said earlier in the thread. Judging from how you've communicated in this thread, you seem to be very disorganized, so that is likely a big part of the problem. Possibly English isn't your first language, but accounting for that, your thoughts are extremely confusing for me...

    New Surface Pro (2017) Official Thread

    I think there is something wrong with Windows Hello on the nSP. I have retrained it about 5 times and it will work a few times right after... then never again, even in the same location and lighting. I never had this problem with the SP4. I've also seen this mentioned in some of the reviews...

    New Surface Pro (2017) Official Thread

    This is my setup. I use the SP for OneNote App pen notes, and also use the Windows 10 Email App there too, because I like to use it with touch. Everything else is on the big screen, which is an Asus 24" 4K. The nSP is tilted on the dock. Sometimes I flip it around and use it landscape mode...

    Is Flickering Brightness Still an Issue on Surface 5 (Surface Laptop)

    Why would you want to set the brightness to zero in a dark room? I have not noticed anything I'd call flickering. I have notice the brightness changes in a few cases consistently for no apparent reason; like when I'm in tablet mode, hit start, and then select "all programs". It dims. My...

    Still waiting on delivery - Free my Laptop!!

    Well I finally got my original order canceled, and some how ended up with a free new type cover since they had already shipped it to me and then for some reason issued a refund on that (prior to the order being canceled).

    New Surface Pro (2017) preorders

    Summarizing my experience with pre-ordering, I will never do it again. I pre-ordered an i5/8G/256G nSP on the first day available for pre-order, along with the new type cover. A week or so later I pre-ordered the new pen when it was available for pre-order. As June 15 came up, the pen and...

    iTunes is Coming to Windows Store

    Its good to see, but hopefully it doesn't turn into a big train wreck. I'll reserve judgement until its in there.

    New Surface Pro (2017) Official Thread

    If you did a full reset (reload Windows 10 to out of the box state) and its still doing it, then it sounds like its hardware.

    Still waiting on delivery - Free my Laptop!!

    Does Microsoft do free returns there too? They do in the US, and that is why I stopped the madness and went to the store and bought one. Still haven't received the one I ordered online.

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

    Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way, but it may be your organizational skills. I am having an impossible time following what you are even talking about in this thread. One Note is not a "13 year old piece of software"... not sure where you got that from. It has some of the most...

    Still waiting on delivery - Free my Laptop!!

    Completely different situation with me, but probably the same cause. I doubt your problem is customs. I pre-ordered a Surface Pro the day of announcement with the type cover, and then the pen when it showed up for pre-order. I received on June 15th the type cover and pen, and still haven't...

    New Surface Pro (2017) Official Thread

    I have had the nSP for a few days now and wanted to exchange experiences with others here. As background, I bought a SP4 about a month before the new one was announced and returned it, so had some experience with it, but not a lot. I bought the i5/8G/256G model. Pen - the new pen on the nSP...

    Got mine !

    I gave up and went to the Microsoft Store and bought one today. Glad to have it, but now I can't seem to cancel the online order that seems to not be doing anything, can't get anyone on the phone to discuss either. I can't get my money back until they send it to me so I can return it. Ugh...

    Surface Pro 4 2017

    Did you order a SP4 as the title says, or did you order the new one?

    Accessories

    The version of OneNote that comes with the SP is called OneNote App vs. OneNote 2016 that is part of office. It is not a cut-down version. It does some things that you can't do in OneNote 2016, particularly as it pertains to using the pen. For some reason, Microsoft has created two versions...

    Got mine !

    Some time after 8pm last night UPS finally delivered the two packages from Microsoft. Pen and type cover... no nSP. Checked on Microsoft store and no information there about what is going on, and no indication its shipped. So they charged my card for full amount and nothing about when I'll...

    Sacrificed SP3 for Data

    Wow, this is a rather extreme reaction to a computer problem! There is no computer company you can buy from that would avoid the possibility of a system that won't start and the potential for data loss... not Microsoft, Apple, Dell, HP, etc.. You didn't backup your data, and that...

    Got mine !

    Bummer on the keyboard. It is a mystery what is actually in the truck for me. Do you have a Microsoft Store or Best Buy near by? edit - scratch that, I just saw you are in the UK.
