Also, disabling HW Acceleration in Office didn't help...

Mine doesn't require action to unfreeze, it just comes out of it by itself after 15-20sec. It also seems to queue up and execute all of my clicks/keystrokes while it is frozen. It almost seems like a process is starving the CPU and when it completes it clears the input buffer. I wish task...

I just tried disabling Hardware Video Acceleration in Office 2013 to see if that helps. I am always running Outlook and Lync as well as the rest of the suite and I've heard there are some issues with this in the past. I'll report back later today to see if it helps at all.

Thanks for the recommendations, I hadn't thought of malware since I primarily use this machine for work. I ran a full scan with MalwareBytes since I use that on friends and family computers all the time and it didn't find anything. I think this is the first time I've seen it report nothing :)...

I've not noticed any on my screen. I don't store it in the bag with the stylus clipped, only when I am out and about. When my SP3 goes in my bag, I pull the stylus and put it in a pen pocket.

Is anyone else having a lot of pauses where your SP3 seems to freeze only to recover a 15 sec later? It isn't totally frozen as I can move the mouse and some activities (Lync Call/Presentation) continue? I've tried watching the performance monitor to see if it is a spike in CPU, but the...

I use Lync (desktop version) and the Modern Skype both with audio, video and sharing for several hours a day every day and it works great for me. I've also done one GoToMeeting and one WebEx both with screen sharing and audio without issue. I am plugged in most of the time but I have done a...

I actually kicked Chrome to the curb and started using Firefox for my secondary browser. Firefox looks really good on the SP3 and my my external monitor.

I have one of these for my Dell Venue Pro 8 and Lumia 2520 and really like them. I wouldn't buy one for my SP3 because of the keyboard, but if you are planning on just using it as a tablet, it provides a good level of protection and is fairly slim.

It is strange the differences in fan behavior. I don't game on my SP3, but the only two times I have even noticed the fan is when I am applying updates or watching a movie and even then it is pretty quiet. Other than that, it is totally silent. I just wrapped up a 1 hour Lync video conference...

My SP3 has completely replaced my Helix. I travel frequently and have found it to be the perfect blend of size, power and convenience. Looking forward to the docking station that I preordered.

I use BitLocker on mine (company requirement) and it is totally seamless. If there is any sort of performance hit, it is imperceptible in daily use.

Are you getting a lot of lag from this dock? I bought one and have it boxed up ready to return because of lag issues with a wireless mouse on the external display.

I have something similar but I find that the Type Keyboard stops working fairly frequently while using it. Is anyone else seeing this?

My Type Keyboard stops working pretty frequently when I am using it on my lap either on a laptop tray or just on my legs. I don't think I have ever noticed doing this when I am using it on a table or desk.

ArnoldC's fix worked for me. Thanks!

I have a paid Google Apps account that will continue to support ActiveSync. The latest Mail/Calendar/People update just removed my ability to sync my calendar. Is there any workaround to trick Windows 8 into allowing me to continue to sync these since they are still supported on my account? I...

I am using BitLocker for the internal drive as well as the MicroSD. It works great and I haven't noticed any performance impact. My company has a policy requiring BitLocker encryption so I didn't look into any alternatives but I would try the included (free) BitLocker before buying a 3rd party...

I am almost certain that it has a mic input. I use my Surface for Lync conference calls and the sound level of my voice gets much lower when I connect my headphones with inline mic. I normally use a USB based headset but I was recently stuck at an office without WiFi so I had to use my USB...

Trying the same thing. I would rather have fewer options to wake my computer and reduce the risk of it waking in my bag. I disabled all the keyboard and mouse options for now...
