Considering that battery life is one of their selling point this time, it would be interesting to see how the actual battery life of the SP2017 is like. Of course, none of us will actually get the best-case-scenario 13.5 hours with our average usage pattern, and thats fine. Thats just a fact...

Most USB battery packs are 5V. Only the Surface 3 (non-Pro) can be charged with that. The SP3 and SP4 requires a 12V battery pack. Same with the SP2 as well. Id recommend getting the 8 GB SP2. Not only because its your ideal size (size matters, a lot), but its also a lot cheaper by now...

Surprisingly, 8.1 does activate with the embedded Windows 10 product key of the SP4. You can search for "advanced startup eightforums" in Google. Eightforums have quite a lot of nice tutorials about Windows. I cannot link it here because of the forum rules. Basically drivers that are signed...

Can you show the very bottom of the battery report, the "Battery life estimates" and "Battery life estimates based on observed drains"

Works on mine. I use the 4380 beta. The 4352 does glitch a lot. No need for braveness. There is a premade registry script here Power Options - Add or Remove "Min/Max processor state" Totally agree, installed 8.1 on the SP4, and it couldn't get any better. Still getting sleep battery drain though.

Okay, I got it working. Partially. I installed Intel Virtual Buttons driver (Download Acer Aspire R7-371T Intel Virtual Button Driver 1.0.0.17 for Windows 8.1 64 bit), and surprise, the buttons work However, it works the wrong way: The Power button becomes Volume Down The Volume Up button...

I haven't solved it. But I found a workaround: 1. Download the TouchMe Gesture Studio app, and set 4/5-finger rotation for volume control. 2. To wake the device, double-click the pen. 3. To put the device to sleep, set the lid-close action to sleep, so you'd put the device to sleep when you...

First you need to have Windows 8.1 fully updated or some installation will fail. Go to Windows Update and go download all the available updates now. Now here's the tricky part. We need to install Windows 10 Surface Pro 4 drivers from here Download Surface Pro 4 Drivers and Firmware from...

If youre on the Surface 3 device, Windows Update can pull up the "System Firmware Update" package. But not with the traditional method: Windows Update detects the Vendor and Product ID of each component and match with the driver on their server. Its all-or-nothing approach here, and since my...

Hello, I am experimenting with installing Windows 8.1 on the Surface Pro 4. As you might already know, the MS doesn't provide the 8.1 drivers for the SP4. Thankfully, it shares some components with the SP3, like the wireless module, so most components works with SP3 drivers or forced-installed...

Are there any issues with 8.1 on the SP4? Apart from Windows Hello, what other features are missing? Are the cameras, buttons, sensors working?

I would recommend either the Logitech MX Master or MX Anywhere 2 depending on your size preference

Just install Start10, the start menu is practically the only difference between W10 and W7 UX anyway

I have exactly the same behavior with my BlackBerry Z10, but not my Lumia 820

Yes, its a Samsung EVO 64 GB (the white-orange one)

Wondering if Mazda would sue them for the similarity of the name [MAZDA]Brake Energy Regeneration System | Environmental Technology

The last 10 seconds of the video caught my attention: - The metal bar on the kickstand doesn't have the two feet (similar to the Surface 3) - The device is bent.

For $250, its the nicest tablet that you could possibly get, even with no WiFi

People complained that the Surface Pen doesn't have storage on the device itself. This seems to be even worse, lets see how this goes.
