    Who Loves their SP3 - Positivity Thread

    I was very cautious before deciding to go for the SP3. I had the 1st RT - returned it after a week because fo the lack running a simple Cisco VPN session. Went to the 1st Gen SP later but sold it because the battery life was not suiting my needs. I was working with a Sony Vaio Duo 11 for a...

    Programs that causes SP3 to run hot

    I had to uninstall Bitdefender 2015 last night as it prevented my SP3 from sleep. Screen was off, but the device was running very hot and has eaten battery. It turned out, the Profile feature of Bitdefender did not recognize I was running on battery and still was in game mode (I have no single...

    no reboot needed. Go to Device Manager and do a refresh. The Marvell will appear and the connection establish. Have this randomly as well. Seems Marvell is not waking up reliably.

    Will the i3 be enough for Office and browsing?

    4 things: 1. Photoshop, the office suite, SP designer and all the little programs may easily eat up the space you have available. 2. Moving the recovery is a bad idea as ultra-mobile pc's such as the SP3 may just run into trouble while you are on the road and you noticed you didn't pack the...

    SP3 i5 users--when do you hear your fan come on?

    On heavy internet usage i can hear the fan coming up. I am not talking about browsing. Large file upload or download seem to utilize the cpu a lot. Also video coding an batch photo developing. In standard use no fan at all.

    Does not matter. Happens at home and at work. It is actually the wireless device not being available. Neither WIFI or BT. There is no communication device in the system available until next reboot.

    Specifically... Adobe Lightroom

    Better wait for a Lightroom PRO. but what I can tell, you'll love the Stylus feature for fine editing. Install the NTRIG Wintab driver for pressure sensitivity in desktop mode and you will never give the SP3 away :)

    Specifically... Adobe Lightroom

    I use the i5 4GB - does a decent job. 12Mpix pictures are what I have. I noticed the Corel Aftershot pro is much faster in batch processing. So far no need for me to go for a i7. invest in a external SSD maybe? You won't do jobs like that on battery, don't you? not sure about the performance on...

    still have the issue there is NO network at all available on the device after sleep. This is not reproducible and a reboot resolves the issue. Seems sometimes the Marvel has sweet dreams and does not want to wake up. Rolling back and re-install the driver did not help.

    Touch Screen not responsive after cold boot

    Have noticed there is a lot if complaints about the touch screen not being responsive for about 10-12 seconds after a cold boot and facing the same issue. All updates being installed I still see no solution. The Windows button responds with a vibrate, so the touch screen seems to be active, but...
