Here are some observations about the screen in my new SP4 in comparison to my SP3. - The backlight remains even, the viewing angles are excellent, the contrast is superb and the color gamut appears to be at least as wide. - The colors are a bit cooler and therefore I expect they're more...

There were some issues with cards not having a good connection in the slot. I think that was only with the SP2. Check the forums. People put tape on the card to pad it out a bit. I had problems with my SP3 and it turned out that I had a defective SanDisk card. There was a bad batch. SanDisk...

I just got an SP4 M3. I didn't try Windows Hello in pitch black but it found my face very quickly in low light. If it's infrared then it probably would work in total darkness. Regardless, I was very impressed. The best thing was I didn't have to be lined up directly with the camera. I didn't...

The SP4 does not fit perfectly into an SP3 dock. The SP4 has a shallower angle on the sides. This makes it wider at the back and that keeps the sides of the dock from closing all the way. However the connector does line up and so the dock works fine and holds the SP4 securely, it just doesn't...

Here is something interesting I noticed. The yellow streak on the left of my SP3 is only noticeable when viewed from the right. So my right eye sees it, and my left eye does not. I can make the streak go away by covering my right eye. My right eye is better close up, and I have poor stereo...

There is at least one company, icarbons.com, making pre-cut skins for the Surface 3. They use the same high quality material as often used on cars, 3M DI-NOC. And you can get black carbon fibre, and several other patterns. I decided not to get one so I can't tell you more than that.

Beware of used or older stock of SanDisk Ultra 64GB cards. Mine is frequently unmounting in my Surface 3. It happens every couple days, sometimes more than once. I've read there was a bad batch of these cards from SanDisk. The weird thing is my card worked fine for a year in my Acer S7. But very...

I got a $2 MDP to HDMI adapter from ebay and it works fine with my 1080P TV: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251596648421 So you don't need to pay more than $2 if you just want to hook up your Surface to a TV.

Microsoft's repair centre arranged and paid for the shipment. They are responsible for dealing with damage during shipping. They should have a process for dealing with these situations. And if the packing was insufficient, they should have contacted you to discuss the problem, not just sent your...

I have four 3 month passes for Xbox music. They can be used together to get one year. I'm told they can only be used after your current free trial or paid subscription ends. They work in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. They don't work in Canada (or I would use them...

The blue type cover is very nice. I was looking forward to getting something in the Microsoft/Nokia cyan colour for a long time but when I saw the blue I immediately changed my mind. I don't think blue is a U.S. Best Buy exclusive anymore. MS shows it on their U.S. website. I don't know for...

I have the NetGear R7000 router too. Trying a different channel on the router might help. Now I've only had my SP3 five days so I've had less opportunity to experience issues but the very first day I was frequently losing my WiFi connection. Every 5-10 minutes it would show as Limited. This was...

My Surface has a faint bright band along the left edge, it's has a yellow tint to it. I don't believe this is a defect. I think this is a normal characteristic of LCD displays and how they distribute, bend and reflect light. I'm not saying it shouldn't bother you, just that I would bet every...
