As hughlle mentioned, don't wait for Google to support our Surface. Its just not going to happen. Use Tubecast http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/e9cf163e-2fca-4be2-8e26-e4697738e69b, and its 360 Player, Video 360 http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/074955ec-801c-4d1e-9383-ba1bcc7959e2

I would like to know if there is a nib that gives more friction. I prefer not to put screen protectors if possible.

Im not planning to upgrade until they fix the ergonomic issue in Windows 10 that they created... http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/i-miss-the-ergonomic-design-of-windows-8.13869/

The decision between 4/128 S3 and 4/64 SP3 is mainly about the size. If you value 10" portability more, go for the S3. If you value 12" screen real estate more, go for the SP3. The performance is not really that different, and so is the pricing, especially when you include the pen that doesn't...

I think it was made that way. The thing is, people often use the docking station for heavy lifting. That would put lots of heat on the device, and charging the battery at its maximum rate would make it even worse. Moreover, people often leave the Surface on the docking station for work period (8...

If I don't get it wrong, the sticker youre talking about is the "Windows 8 Pro" sticker. If that's the case, it is the logo that is *supposed* to be attached to the device itself. You can see that on any other Windows device. However, Microsoft decided to put it on the charger for whatever...

With programs that need to render text (read: almost any program), that would significantly lighten the load of the GPU. Take a look here on how lowering the resolution could even help Chrome's abysmal optimization to surpass other browsers...

Is it just hard for them to grasp the idea of "classic" option that had been available in Windows for decades? It has always been available at every release of Windows. XP had 98-like Start menu, Vista also had it, together with the classic and basic UI theme, and 7 also had the very same...

Roughly, SSD is like several SD card chips ran in RAID0, that's why its fast. And that's why larger SSDs are often faster than the slower ones, simply because there are more chips in there. Unfortunately, you wont be able to fit all of that in a card the size of a fingernail. To be able to...

Clearly it wont replace such powerful computers anytime soon, that's for sure. Im not saying that *your* Surface has to replace *your* desktop PC. Point is, for many, the CPU performance of the SP3 is sufficient, and that's the demography that we are talking about here. This might surprise you...

Disagree. Assuming the dock will retail at anything less than $300, it would cost more to build a comparable PC. Core i3 CPU would cost $100 (2C/4T, comparable to SP3 CPU), the mainboard $50, 8 GB RAM $50, 256 GB SSD $100, PSU $50. If you want it to be as silent as the SP3 on light tasks, you...

Is it possible to use the regular S3 for business use, as long as I don't use the 8.1 Pro capabilities? Or is it violating the T&C? And yeah, as others mentioned, you haven't even out the comparison without adding the pen. And finally, the gap will be narrower in Canada and EU due to their S3...

I just ordered the Mad Catz MOUS 9. How well do they compare? I think those are the only fullsize BT4 mouse out there.

They could actually add artificial heat (by loading the processor, for example) so that the cooldown process would happen gradually, and less harmful from the expansion/contraction. Only when the power supply is connected, presumably.

Quite a disappointment though that they didn't go with Type-C instead. The blade is going to be present in the SP4 for sure since they claimed that Al SP3 accessories, including the docking station, will be compatible with the SP4. Theres no way they're not putting the blade connector on the...

I dont know about you, but the colored pens look cheap to me. Theres no two-tone accents that enhances the look of the pen. The original silver one has darker gray in some parts (the upper and lower part) and it makes the pen looks so technologically advanced and expensive.

Yeah, its quite unfortunate that they went with the old method used in the SP1/SP2.

I don't think so. The greyed area is intentional for you to stick your fingernails to open the kickstand. The SP3 has those as well. Moreover, all docking connection with the SP3 docking station is done via the long charging port which the S3 doesn't have. Therefore, no connection can be done...

Well, for the *best* experience you also need the $50 pen and $200 docking station. But hey, that's the whole point of a tablet. You can expand it to the way you like, whether you need pen-and-paper replacement or laptop-replacement.
