I'm running dual 22" at 1680 x 1050 without issues using Pluggable UD-3900 dock using a DVI cable and a HDMI>DVI adaptor cable as my monitors do not have HDMI or DP support. There hasn't been ANY issue at all and the SP3 is more than capable in running this setup. I normally keep the SP3...

If I were to get a REAL case, I'd want one like they custom made for the NFL SP2. Too bad they don't make one for the SP3 yet.

+1 for being very satisfied with the SP3. I'm on my second unit now due to a failure in the touch screen on my first unit, but with the recent firmware updates, it works like a dream now. The fan barely turns on now and has been rock solid. The early adopters like myself had to bear through...

Amen. The same could've been said about Windows 7 is what Windows Vista should have been. Same goes for Windows XP is what Windows ME should have been... and so on. Seems that when Microsoft releases a new OS, the next iteration is really what have been released, but due to timelines and...

True. I'm downloading the 64bit ISO right now as well.

Brave souls who are willing to risk the beta testing waters. A spare desktop/laptop sounds the safest bet if it replaces the recovery partition on the machine.

My SP3 is a daily driver, so no, but the feature set looks perfect for a hybrid device like the Surface line. I like what they're doing with Windows and makes OSX look rather stale now.

This is what I have setup.

Couldn't you just get a BT presentation remote then? I thought the OP was going to be holding the pen near their SP3 annotating while presenting, that's why I mentioned the gesture swiping.

MakeMKV works great for both DVD and blu-ray. Then you can use handbrake to resize compress it.

You can swipe left and right to change sides.

I think it should, I'll try the cable tonight on my monitor.

All good, as GreyFox7 said, just having some fun. You don't have to get the Microsoft branded ones, I picked up a Cable Matters MDP > HDMI cable and it works great. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00APLJ58M

"The more you buy, the more you can save!"

MS just released their own wireless display adapter. Tempted to pick one up. http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/09/23/announcing-the-microsoft-wireless-display-adapter/

Cool. Feel bad for the presenter guy who had to return the SP3 though.

I don't get why you would need a hefty case like this on the SP3. You are negating the best feature of the SP3, the kickstand. The case kickstands only has 5 positions. I don't know about how other people use their SP3, but it's like you carry it around and pull it out of your bag like you...

This is nothing new. Sharing a DVD drive from one system to another has been present in Windows for a long time. I used it ages ago when a DVD drive in a desktop system died and I needed to install programs using a DVD drive in another system. Ironic about that pirate image. Probably many...

The tendency to get "the best of the best even if it doesn't make sense" is a lie that we all tend to believe and the marketing people behind selling products want us to believe that lie. You mentioned that you want it for school work and to take notes. You already have a gaming laptop but...

Ah..forgot to hook the audio into my car. The front firing speakers were pretty good already, but next time.
