I use my GN3 for mapping while out in the field, but if I literally worked out of my vehicle, or stayed in the field as some do, I'd want LTE on my SP. I had LTE on an iPad some years ago, and it was great for navigation while out. Bigger screens are always better when looking at a map, but I...

I use Kaspersky. It's consistently rated well, and it takes care of itself once installed. It doesn't appear to use much in terms of system resources.

I use my SP3 for reading quite a bit, but I use mine in landscape all the time.

I've heard some say that they ended up using a different DP cable from their dock to their external monitor and that solved the problem.

Well...there are two "watch" style batteries in the upper part of the pen for the BT, but the bottom part of the pen hold a AAAA battery for the actual inking. Sometimes there's a little tab inserted between the AAAA battery and the terminal so the battery doesn't drain while setting on the...

But many of these things are Windows issues and not SP3 issues. This is my second SP3 and I've not had my cursor disappear using Chrome. If the SP3 were at fault I suspect nearly everyone's cursor would be AWOL, and you would certainly be hearing the majority of posters on these forums...

Try a reset then; that will wipe everything and install Windows...then the updates start! If it's still giving you problems after resetting it, sounds like hardware issues...exchange/replace the SP3

There are probably such on YouTube, but I'm not acquainted with any specifically. The imaging software you obtain for this may offer tutorials on their website.

Yes, that's the beauty of an image - software, settings, everything...I've not had to find out...yet...but if you read about imaging all the information states that literally everything is carried over to the new drive.

My SP3 is behaving properly in this regard, so I don't know what to tell you. Obviously, something is glitched so you may have to refresh or reset to straighten it out. Perhaps some of the more technically erudite on this forum may be of more help.

If you have a ton of stuff on your old SP3, then perhaps an image of your old SSD may be the way to go - less time and fuss. You'll need Macrium or something similar. I use OneDrive (and Google Drive too) for some things, particularly for access across multiple devices, but I also have a USB 3...

Smar is correct. Each user's experience and expectations will vary widely, and many of the items listed by the poster on another forum are not SP3 issues. I find using the SP3 on my lap, with various leg positions, has not been an issue for me. I am particular how I perch it on my knee when I...

Have you tried the "4th kickstand position" that Jeff Roach talked about?

Then how are people daisy chaining monitors from the MS dock? That requires DP 1.2, doesn't it?

When my first SP3 died, I exchanged it through MS. I received my replacement, and it looked as though it had never seen the light of day - perfect. A few days later, I used a damp cloth to wipe the screen clean, and I noticed (with some moisture on the screen) several scratches. As soon as I...

Interesting! I'm still in the process of setting up a desk in my study. I have a 32" Samsung monitor to use and it has a USB 3 dock built in to it. I'd planned to connect my SP3 to it to use so that I'd have less clutter on the desk as I would using external USB 3 dock(s). I hadn't given thought...

My Asus T100 does this by design, but I don't ever recall seeing it from my SP3

Since all that is done in China, I'd say you're spot on!

That S3 sounds cool! I've had two SP3's. An SSD failed so I had to exchange it. As I used my first SP3 the kickstand gradually got more and more loose. Toward the last, if you opened the kickstand about 2/3's of the way and set it on a hard surface, it would slowly open the rest of the way until...

I may be missing something, but have you set your SP3 screen as the primary screen? Whichever screen that's set as the primary will have the taskbar on it along with any desktop files, shortcuts etc. I don't know if this helps, but it's one more thing you need to check when using multiple monitors.
