    Surface Pro 4 Release Date - July 2015

    MS has stated that all current SP3 accessories will work with the SP4 or whatever its called. Since the docking station has to fit the tablet perfectly, we can assume that SP4 will feature the exact same dimension as the SP3, not thinner. Its safe to assume that the SP4 will have at least the...

    Surface Pro 3 Power Management Sticky

    yeah, that should work. To confirm, enter shutdown.exe -r. If the computer restarts, then you have admin privilege in that cmd window. Try restarting the SP3. There might be pending configuration or something, I'm not sure though. Use that shutdown.exe command, to kill two birds with one stone...

    Surface Pro 4 Release Date - July 2015

    Since the SP4 would very likely feature the same, if not larger, battery capacity, it will certainly have better battery life thanks to the more efficient Broadwell or Skylake chip. If MS decided to stick with 15W TDP CPU(very likely), it will also perform better when pushed to its limit, once...

    Would you convert to an iPad Pro and replace your SP3?

    Some little addition: Beside XBOX Music, there are some apps that can stream in standby. I use OpenFM. Theres also rdio, TuneIn Radio, Spotlite (Spotify), GMusic (Google Music), and 3rd party YouTube apps Open the Mail app, open Settings, Accounts, pick the Account, and select "All email"...

    Has the surface totally replaced your tablet?

    The tethering itself is still WiFi. BT is only used for the handshake. No shared text messaging at all. SMS is backed up to OneDrive, that's pretty much it. Its even invisible in OneDrive directory on Onedrive.com or your SP3, so you can't manage anywhere but on your Windows Phone. There might...

    "Antimalware Service Executable" + Task Manager = high CPU load?

    Are you sure its not Windows Defender? Try opening Windows Defender from the Control Panel. It should be disabled if you have BitDefender active.

    Hardware and Marketing - Why I Came Back to Windows

    Mainly because it doesn't have the dual-personality of 8.1, and clicking random .exe file wont infect the machine. Oh, and this www.hanselman.com/blog/DownloadWrappersAndUnwantedSoftwareArePureEvil.aspx

    Has the surface totally replaced your tablet?

    I would say that SP3 is like a sport wagon, something like the Audi RS4 Avant or Merc E63 AMG wagon, or Cadillac CTS-V wagon. It offers the 'fun' part of a sports car and the 'versatility' part of a minivan. As a result, its quite expensive. Toy tablet is like a 2-seater Miata, it offers more...

    Solved USB xhci battery drain

    First, make sure there is no USB cables or peripherals attached to the device. Then make sure that all components are allowed to go sleep (especially WiFi and BT antenna). Check the Device Manager, double-tap on an item, go to the "Power Management" tab, and check "Allow the computer to turn off...

    Would you convert to an iPad Pro and replace your SP3?

    I think we need to see the actual product first: Similar specs to SP3, but hows the battery life if it ran OS X-iOS hybrid? How does the hybrid OS handle iOS and OS X apps? Will they be able to interact between each other? How touch friendly OS X apps will be? How about the keyboard? Is it a...

    Surface Pro 3 WIMBoot guide + discussion

    I have tried several ways, none of those works. Ill try with my other WIMboot PC when I could get the access to that device, to find out if this issue is unique to the SP3 or not.

    Surface Pro 3 Power Management Sticky

    Tip: Disabling hibernation (easy) Why? The transition from S0ix to S4 'modified' and from S4 'modified' to the traditional S4 make a room for programs to misbehave. Badly coded desktop apps that are still in the taskbar, or system tray, or the combination between the two, could halt the whole...

    Multitouch gestures on the typecover for sp3

    Also consider TouchMe Gesture Studio. I know, I know, its not exactly a trackpad gesture. Its a touchscreen gesture, so you need to move your fingers a little bit further. But you can achieve the same functionality regardless.

    Surface Pro 4 news

    Simply because theres plenty of space in a GPU. That’s simply not the case with a hybrid like the Surface. Surface doesn’t have the luxury. Remember, they couldn’t even fit a fullsize SD card slot for this very reason. They weren’t able to fit a second USB port either. Otherwise, Surface would...
