If anyone with a core i7 model would be so kind to download Real Temp and see what temperatures they are getting I would much appreciate it! TechPowerUp

Yeah that doesn't seem right, this is actually my second Surface Book (had mine replaced for screen issues) and my first one never went over 87 using the same program, so I feel like the program must hold some ground.

Shouldn't my CPU be throttling itself before getting to 100° Celsius let alone 90°?

I think it obviously comes down to if you can live without the clipboard and pen. If you don't actually need it then the Surface Book really shouldn't appeal at all as it's specs are wayyy lower than what you could get for the same price. I however use the pen and clipboard for school...

Thanks for the tips :) But that's the problem with me (like legit I have a problem), I don't want to throttle my device in anyway to save power, which I know makes you think "Well no duh you aren't getting 12 hours of battery life!" but I was hoping with the 12 hour claim I would get around 7-8...

You're right, it seems that RealTemp was giving me inaccurate information, just went and got CPU-z and did a stress test and there is throttling. But with the battery ordeal I do have my settings set to balanced but I haven't done anything in regedit. There's some voodoo magic I can work on my...

The Core i7 gets pretty hot but doesn't throttle, it can be scary to see temps get up that high but it's not actually an issue. I get no where near 12 hours of battery life, I get 5 at the most. But I'm a power user, always running 4 or 5 programs, no battery saver, screen brightness all the way...

You mentioned Fruity Loops earlier, I bought the 1Tb Surface Book for the sole reason of being able to put all of my music plugins (500gb+) on it and have had nothing but good experiences when making music. When making music on my desktop even with a SSD I had to wait for a good 5 minutes before...

I have personally had nothing but good experiences when going into the Microsoft Store regardless of where my device was purchased as long as it was still in warranty.

It looks like that same brand makes one for the iPad pro, I feel like it would work really well. Amazon.com: iPad Pro Case Sleeve, ProCase Cushion Protective Sleeve Bag Cover Case for Apple iPad Pro 12.9 Inch, Compatible with Apple Smart Keyboard, Documnet Pocket and Apple Pencil Holder...

Thanks for the reply! After more research I found that people have had this issue with Surfaces since the Surface Pro 1 and it is in fact a hardware defect and a fix is as simple as getting it replaced. But also yes, when cleaning the screen and using the pen there has been a ton of flex on my...

I never would have thought of that, if you go through with that let me know how it goes I'm interested!

I've searched around for a while now and can't find anything. I like to take just the tablet portion to church, it would be really nice if they had a magnetic flip case / cover (smart case) similar to the surface pro when you just want to take the tablet somewhere. I ended up buying this, not...

When my CPU gets hot (above 65°) I experience some pretty serious screen discoloration. I have the 1tb Surface Book with the dGPU and i7. I didn't want to RMA it as I use it extensively for work and college, but two days ago I found out they have an advanced RMA and can send me a new Book before...

Have you tried using a different SD card adapter? Are you near a Microsoft store where you could go insert yours into another Surface Book? That is an extremely strange problem, but I would definitely start with trying to figure out if its possibly entirely the cards fault or the Surface Books...

I imagine the SD card slot qualifies as USB mass storage and un-checking it or turning off "Enable alternate boot sequence" would fix your problem if your book is in-fact trying to boot from your SD card slot for some reason. To get into the Surface UEFI simply turn off your device and hold all...

Awesome to hear you got yours! After a lengthy call with them on Friday they told me my order had somehow fallen into some sort of limbo but shortly after talking with them they were able to get it processed. But with just my luck it has been delayed several times in shipping, it is as of now...

Don't worry guys, its gotten better. October 17, 2015 - Your Surface Book will ship in 7-8 weeks. 8 weeks later - 7-8 weeks? I meant 15. 7 weeks later - Ohhh did I say 15 weeks? Well darn what I meant to say was 17, give it another 2. Now being informed that my SB won't ship January 22nd but...

Sorry for never replying life just got kind of busy, the reason I originally asked the question was because when I purchased mine it didn't say January it said 7-8 weeks. I assumed that when the date changed to January it was because they had sold the first batch of them or something, however...

Anybody order a 1tb model? If so have you received any sort of date yet? When I ordered mine it said it would ship in 7-8 weeks and its just a handful of days from being 8 weeks later. I thought for sure it would be like all the others models and ship out much sooner than it said, however it...
