How about that. I tried this, no more yellow line!!! I don't know whether to be happy or to cry. You are not supposed to fix expensive tech devices by rubbing them briskly...

I am presently using the 3rd replacement device that I have received since my original purchase. I have come to the conclusion (which several of other members on this forum have already stated) that all Surface displays have at lease some subtle variances in color/contrast from one side of the...

I am by no means an expert on this issue, but I have struggled with the problem of e-mail synchronization in the past. There are several threads on this issue in this forum as well, and can be searched. Short answer: Microsoft, Google and Apple do not play well together. Last year Google...

There are several other threads in this forum that deal with the "artistic experience" with the SP3. I am not an artist, so the performance of the pen for taking notes, drawing diagrams, and annotations is perfect for me. However, some artists do not feel that the SP3 is nearly as good as other...

Taskbar pops up with pen every time after installing hub, still does not respond predictably with touch.

You will find many threads in this forum discussing the very questions you raise. The short answer is this: for most people with "routine" computer and note taking needs, even the i3 should be fine. I have the i5 8/256 because I run Photoshop and I keep lots of pictures and documents on my hard...

Just curious, Would a factory reset of Windows 8.1 result in clearing a device of malware? Or are there malware forms that would survive such a process, and continue to plague the operator?

It sound like aliens have taken over your device and are gathering intelligence for their attempt to take over the universe... Or, more likely, a glitch in 8.1. Sounds like a reset/reinstallation of Windows is in order

My wife and I share the single Office 365 subscription. We do have separate folders in OneDrive for our "stuff". This works out very well indeed. Now, I could go looking through all her documents to "check up on her", but after 30 years of marriage I don't go looking for secrets.

The i3 cpu will be more than adequate for web browsing, note taking, watching videos and the like. A faster processor would only be needed for cpu intensive activities, such as the processing of huge data files, graphics programs such as Photoshop, video editing, and advanced game playing. If...

I want to thank the OP for offering his experience to this forum. It is indeed very helpful to hear from people who have specific uses for new technology. I conclude from his statements that the SP3 will not replace a full-sized Wacom tablet for his needs. I think this is fair, and we shouldn't...

I also have a Freedom Case, Black leather, unopened in original packaging. Will sell for $20, shipping extra depending on method and distance. Let me know if you are interested. Edit 10/16/2014: item no longer available

The process is really quite simple. If you have your PC settings set to sync with OneDrive, when you start your new machine it should be automatically populated with: a) all of your MUI (Modern UI Windows store) applications b) start screen preferences c) IE preferences including passwords and...

Just installed all the updates; so far no problems. Connectivity is all working perfectly.

So, to answer the question that the original poster posed, there are two ways to take a picture with the SP3 and import to OneNote: A) Take a picture with the camera app, and then use the "double click" of the Pen to import a screen shot to OneNote (you can specify whether MUI or Desktop version...

Very sorry to hear about your problems. I just hate it when people on these forums reply "Well, I haven't had any of those problems", but... well, I did, but don't any more Sounds like you might have a faulty unit. I had such a unit, and got a replacement at [email protected]; no hassle...

Thank you for making this. I particularly appreciate your emphasis on how the SP3 supports the functions that you require personally from a device. You very fairly admonish those who do not require all of the features of a full PC to consider a simpler tablet for routine web browsing and...

Icons for Office programs are a little tricky to place on the desktop. The only way I have found to do this is to open the program file (C:>Program files> Microsoft Office 15>root>office 15) and then scroll down to the corresponding exe file, and then right click to either send to desktop or pin...

Surface counts as a "full PC" in regards to your Office 365. (The airport TSA still considers it a "tablet", however...) Be careful of running iCloud on the SP3; I tried this so that I could sync my wife's iPhone calendar to outlook. When I tried this, I was no longer able to sync my Windows...
