Why suicide? USB 3.1 is able to do everything the USB3 does, plus 100W power delivery, and DP capability, all on a smaller footprint. I think its a no-brainer for a device like the SP3. We could easily have 3 USB ports and 3 DP ports. Just not at the same time. I do realize that we need to use...

Add /output <directory>\battery_report.html to get the report to other directory: for example, these scripts will put the battery report and sleep study to the desktop: powercfg /batteryreport /output %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\battery_report.html powercfg /sleepstudy /output...

Theres an excessive usage of USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller (\_SB.PCI0.XHC) . 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...

Yeah, we really need to have a pinned thread dedicated for that. As it is a quite new technology, a lot of people have questions about that.

The port does support audio. However, it now all depends on the monitor/TV to convert the digital audio signal to an analog signal. It will use TV/monitor's DAC, and quite frankly, most of them suck. Its not a problem if you use the builtin speakers, but once you route the audio out to external...

How could they achieve that without no additional cooling? I know that X1 chip is a fanless chip, but it still needs cooling, passive cooling. I wish they could do that though. Why not both? We pay a thousand dollars for this, they better be able to put TWO $29 Lumia 520's AF camera, at the...

I disagree. Its not really a protection, as it protects *after* the accident happens, instead of preventing the accident in the first place. It is like sending a newborn unwanted baby to an adoption house rather than using a condom in the first place. EDIT: Its like relying on health insurance...

It used to be useful until I discovered how to generate Windows' built in battery report.

Why don't you get the i7/512 instead? I dont think theres a huge difference in battery life or heat.

One other benefit of the pen loop placement I mentioned earlier: the pen only rubs against the unpainted plastic strip. There is no paint to be scratched. Heres the picture of my pen loop

In my case, I got an average of 0.55% per hour drain during connected standby, I know some Android tablets that fare worse than that. However, SP3 is not very efficient in connected standby compared to most ARM tablets like the Surface RT. What's the difference between the 'lite' and 'deep'...

Youre welcome :) Glad I could help about (4), I don't have many accessories on my SP3 (yet), so I couldn't recommend much. One must-have is a pen loop. If you already have the Type Cover that comes with a pen loop, then youre set. I would recommend to attach it on the device itself, on the top...

First of all, before turning on the device, check for: 1. The device is not bent (iPhone 6 kind of bending) 2. The plastic strip (near the camera) aligns with the rest of the body 3. Check if the kickstand is able to hold its position, especially in wider angles (between Surface Pro 2-mode and...

I hope not. They would promote monopoly. And monopoly is never good, unless we are talking about board games.

I had that issue when I was installing .NET 3.5 on my Acer W700 tablet. I followed this guide, it worked http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/41097

Mine also comes with GP battery, and its starting to show the same symptom as what Cindy experienced

Youre welcome :) Technically, DP is superior in a lot of cases. However, PS only supports HDMI (correct me if im wrong), and as you can see, having an HDMI port on your monitor is always useful since HDMI is the gold standard for home entertainment devices (thanks a lot, Sony /s). Btw, youre...

Well, since your SP3 is still under warranty anyway... I suspect that the early batches has less reliable hardware as shown in the pen nib, and like the early batch of the docking station which shipped with faulty mDP port.

Yes, at 60 Hz. However, OP managed to squeeze out the last bit of power of the GPU by setting it to 50 Hz. Since 50 Hz is not a really common standard, which may or may not supported by your monitor, and the fact that the setting is not even available without setting custom timing as OP...

If they want our money, they HAVE TO do something like that. Im not saying that they should bend the law of physics, yet they could, for example, incorporate a GTX980M on the docking station. That could also work. Remember, just a year ago, having 12" screen, Core i7, and 800gr in one package...
