    Surface Dock and Ultra Wide Monitor

    No problem, I hope it works out for you, my only other concern would be that the monitor itself doesn't have HDMI 2.0 on it, it doesn't explicitly state that it does on product page. It seems like it would be silly not to but my Asus doesn't for some odd reason. Hasn't ever been a concern for me...

    Surface Dock and Ultra Wide Monitor

    Okay, just remember that when using an adapter the cable you attach to it matters too. It will only work as desired if you're using an HDMI 2.0 cable in conjunction with it, an HDMI 1.0 cable will bottleneck it's functionality. I haven't been able to find a Mini DP to Male HDMI 2.0 only female...

    Surface Dock and Ultra Wide Monitor

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the LG 34UC87M-B has a display port connection on the back right? I highly suggest you use that as opposed to HDMI, display port is much more reliable and has a locking system. I personally use the Asus ROG PG348Q (Amazon.com: Asus ROG PG348Q 34-Inch Ultra-wide QHD...

    Surface Dock and Ultra Wide Monitor

    I had a buddy trying to hook an ultra-wide (2560x1080) up to his dock through HDMI and he couldn't get it to work. After trouble shooting for a couple hours I was about to give up when I made my way to the product page of the adapter he was using, it only supported up to 1920x1200. As elbaz...

    Surface Book 2 Likely Sports an AMD GPU

    I think you could be right but I still lean more towards the 1060, they just released a new performance base for the Surface Book with the GTX 965m which has 60w TDP. I think they could work with Nvidia to make a slightly custom 1060 for the SB2 and I think that is what will happen, could be wrong.

    "Surface Book with Performance Base"

    Yeah it seems odd that they haven't already sold the existing bases separately just for hot-swappable batteries sake, anyways, here's to hoping you can just get the performance base separately. Also I already have the 1tb i7 so there shouldn't be any compatibility issues on my end, but like you...

    "Surface Book with Performance Base"

    Microsoft announced a re-hash of the Surface Book today with a much better GPU, I'll probably get it. Wish I could just buy the base though... Don't want to have to sell my upper half for way less than I bought it for just to get the exact same thing. Buy Surface Book with Performance Base...

    Surface Book - Which Model?

    I think you made a wise decision, I love my Surface Book but it's a flawed device. Detachment of screen has garnered issues, can't get more than an hour of battery life out of the clipboard without dimming screen and enabling power saver, GPU is not very powerful, tons of software issues along...

    Surface Book Battery and GPU Problems

    If you visit Microsoft's Surface RMA page you're given the option after the first 4 steps: Microsoft Surface Repair Service | Surface Service Order I imagine you called in, Or had a live chat with someone? Maybe they didn't know of the option or just assumed you'd prefer the standard one, not sure.

    Surface Book Battery and GPU Problems

    You are referring to standard RMA I am referring to advanced RMA, I've used the option twice. They place a hold on a card of your choice and then send you the replacement model before you send them the defective model. However both options are available, the risk with advanced RMA is if they...

    Surface Book Battery and GPU Problems

    They do have an advanced RMA option in which they send you the new device before you send them yours, I have to do that as they don't carry the 1tb model in stores. But assuming you don't have the 1tb model going into the store is a step easier as they will replace it immediately after...

    Surface Book Battery and GPU Problems

    Sounds like a Hardware issue to me, I'm sure if you demonstrated this to a Microsoft employee in a Microsoft store they'd have no problem replacing the unit for you.

    Clicking Power Button Shutting Down Device

    I could have sworn there was a setting for that but couldn't seem to find it, thanks! Still really weird though, the fact that I can't even remember where that option is should be a testament to me not changing it. It seems that the new update automatically changed that setting for me, but I...

    Clicking Power Button Shutting Down Device

    I installed some updates today and now when I click the power button it shuts down the device opposed to just putting it to sleep like it used to. Have already lost unsaved work due to this... Anyone else having this problem or have had this problem and found a solution? Here's a screen shot...

    Just about to buy surface book questions

    I bought the service plan, I would be too afraid to carry a $3000+ device around without some sort of accident protection, I haven't had to use it yet but I have replaced my book for other reasons with no issues. As far as I can tell it's solid.

    Cover for SB Screen

    I searched for countless hours for something like this, I really hope the next book has a better tablet portion with stand alone accessories. I understand that you said you weren't looking for a full sleeve but this is the one that I got: Amazon.com: Microsoft Surface Book Case Sleeve, ProCase...

    CPU Temp Reaching 100° Celsius

    Thanks for all the replies, there was definitely something wrong with it. Eventually it was always running over 90 when it would spike up to 100 it would freeze. I tried restoring it and it was still having the same problems, not to mention it had a cluster of dead pixels. Anyways I got it...

    Sorry to keep posting in here but here's another screen shot this time with Core Temp which is getting more accurate CPU load but still extremely high temperatures.
