    Surface Pro 3 WIMBoot guide + discussion

    Applying WIMboot involves reformatting the entire drive. That means you don't need to perform reset separately. The script (part43.txt) will format (reset) the disk automatically. Also, I forgot to mention, please unplug the microSD card (if you have any) when you apply the image. Im just...

    Sleeves/case for bare SP3?

    Also consider the Snugg case, its similar to the Maroo one, but it has a back pocket. The good thing is, since the SP3 is exactly the size of an A4 paper, the back pocket would definitely fit A4 papers. It should fit some thin products, maybe an Arc Touch. I wish it had a little bit more...

    Solved 2 Questions

    Also consider getting an MST hub (also known as DisplayPort splitter, but MAKE SURE it supports MST). What it does is basically, it splits the DP port into 3 separate DP ports, kinda like whats happening inside a daisy-chain-able monitor. After that, you can use adapters to connect any kind of...

    Right click on the desktop, click "Graphics Properties", then click "Power", click on the upper text that says "Power", and select "On Battery". Now disable the refresh rate switching

    Do you see having more than one charger a waste of money?

    I hope USB Type-C could universalize (is that even a word?) the charging ports for tablets and laptops like how microUSB did the same for phones. Maybe we need EU to step in again...

    Surface Pro 3 bend, intentional or defect?

    The good thing is at least the bending issue isn't overblown by the media like, you know, the other more popular product.

    So, you want a proper sound EQ ? how about the official dolby one!

    How does the sound differ? I have no doubt about Dolby for sure, but I think the audio software of the SP3 is custom-tuned to the point where Panos Panay was brave enough to play a movie through SP3's speakers on the press event.

    Solved SP3 multi-mon dpi scaling tweak

    Why don't you own an iPad 2 then? The iPad Air is basically an iPad 2 with 'overcompensating' 200% scaling, called 'Retina'. Sorry, your purchase doesn't align with your logic.

    Solved SP3 multi-mon dpi scaling tweak

    The trick to handle DPI is this simple: Windows was designed for 96 dpi in the beginning. It is the standard dpi assumption, and its still the standard for 100% scaling today. If you have higher dpi, you can do the math yourself. In this case, the SP3 has 216 dpi, that translate to about 200% of...

    SP3 hinge slipping down when about 10 to 15 degrees of fully extended (is this inevitable?)

    Mine too, at the angle between "Surface Pro 2 mode" and "canvas mode", its definitely weaker than the rest. However, it could still hold its position as long as I don't touch it.

    Hacking Surface Pro 3 (hardware)

    Remember, one reason why they went unibody is the construction strength (the other reason: users cant upgrade the SSD easily). We don't know where they put the stresses on, they might put it there since its near the hinge of the kickstand. Try cutting some parts of the unibody chassis of an...

    Mad Catz M.O.U.S. 9 Bluetooth Mouse

    I got the response from Mad Catz concerning the comparison between the MOUS9 and Office RAT Basically: 1. Both mice work more efficiently with BT instead of the dongle 2. In term of specs, MOUS9 has ~11% higher DPI than Office RAT, everything else is identical 3. Mad Catz themselves don't...

    I miss the ergonomic design of Windows 8

    I posted it to UserVoice UserVoice page https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-windows-feature-suggestions/suggestions/7018948-we-miss-the-ergonomic-design-experience-of-windows Since there is a 25-word limitation, I couldn't tell the whole story there. I put the link there though

    I miss the ergonomic design of Windows 8

    IMO, WP should be killed and replaced by the full Windows. I thought it was the main target of Windows 10. Okay, maybe ARM devices could get the 'RT' version with no ability to install .exe programs. But we don't need MS to decide if we are going to use our sub-8" device as a companion or main...

    Solved Surface stutters (experiences dropped frame rates) during simple tasks like scrolling.

    Do you, by any chance, set the monitor refresh rate to 48 Hz? That makes quite a difference.

    OneNote 2013 issues

    MUI OneNote can only sync when its open. By open, I mean, it has to be on the screen in order to sync, not in the background, unlike the desktop version. I don't know why they designed it that way, since their own MUI mail app could download mails in the background. About the pen, first try...
