My experience with the "yellow line issue" a) I did not notice the yellow line until I read about the issue in this forum b) After I saw it, I too, could not "unsee" it c) I requested an RMA exchange through online customer service (easy process) d) Received a replacement unit that was much...

Lumia Icon (spell check wants to make it "Lumina"...)

I actually had to replace the 2 little #319 batteries; the paper label was destroyed by unscrewing the battery sleeve in the pen top. The first battery came out fine, but there are 2 tiny access holes in the sides of the sleeve that I had to poke a needle into, to get the second little battery...

Thank you for this thoughtful and perceptive essay. It is refreshing to hear about your experience with the SP3 with a clear perspective on the evolution of human interaction with electronics. As we become more "connected" electronically, the more we will demand that our devices not interfere...

The SP3 has completely replaced all my other devices save for my phone. I use my computer daily for research and teaching, along with photo editing with PhotoShop. I can't offer any suggestions, but if your experience is anything like mine, the more you use your SP3, the more functionality you...

I got one of these calls, and I was planning on getting MS Complete anyway. The questions regarding payment were such that they could only have originated from MS itself. I chose to place an order, and I immediately got a receipt from MS and the order showed up in my history in the MS Store. I...

What is the best way to manage files and folders in OneDrive? Specifically, how do you upload multiple folders with subfolders? Does the feature "online/offline only" work for you consistently? It does get confusing with multiple areas to access settings for OneDrive, multiple versions to...

I will apologize since I am by no means an expert at all of this, and I see that you have been very careful to try all your options. The last time I tried to upload a large folder with subfolders to OneDrive was when I sent 50 gb of photos there, by dragging and dropping to the OneDrive folder...

Hmmm, In Metro OneDrive, look for: settings/options/"make all files available offline"; if that option is checked, you will not be able to deselect individual folders from your computer's hard drive. When I designate a folder to be "offline only", it is removed from my computer's OneDrive...

(When I want to upload folders and files that are not synced to my computer, I do it using the web interface of DropBox. Does OneDrive provide such a feature? ) Yup... Either upload to the web application into a folder designated "online only", or drag and drop to a folder in the OneDrive...

I have no problem with trackpad scrolling, but the "down arrow" will only register when firmly stuck in the middle. It is maddening to go past the "détente" of the key and not have anything happen. This could be a design limitation due to the width of the arrow key.

I am very happy with my Nokia Icon with Windows Phone 8.1. The basic functionality of the phone is slick and beautiful. I don't need a bunch of apps and games, and I can access all of my OneDrive data right on my phone. I would submit that the secret to getting the right device is to understand...

Sounds like some people really appreciate the SP3, others find that it does not meet their expectations. This is all good. What variety we have today! Technology is not a zero sum game, in which one device needs to best another in order to be of service. The SP3 is not the perfect solution for...

I am sorry to agree... I kind of like playing with the Dell Venue Pro 8, but between my SP3 and Nokia Icon I really don't have much use for it any more. My phone serves perfectly for quick reference, and I have gotten spoiled by the extra screen real estate on the Surface. I am keeping the DVP8...

Just did the update. My completely unscientific study (N=1) shows my internet speed to be about 40% faster than before.

I don't use the loop at all; it just seems a bit unsightly. I have a low-weight neoprene sleeve for my SP3 that has a handy pen holder for when I take my device out of the office (Metric USA). I keep the pen on the magnet on the right side of the tablet when at the desk. I put the pen in my...

I find OneDrive very useful as well. I understand that I will be getting a whole terabyte of storage with my Office 365 subscription now; plenty of room for all my photos! I save all my Photoshop work on the SP3 to OneDrive, and share certain folders with people so that they can see all the work...

When the SP3 was announced, I immediately saw this as the device I was waiting for... perfect size, functionality, etc. During the initial demonstrations, I saw how the purple pen tip could call up OneNote and/or set up a screen clip. My initial impression to this? Ho-hum, that seems pretty...

If I were going back to school and wanted a computer to keep my notes electronically, there would be no question; the SP3 is the only device on in the market right now that gives you the flexibility of keyboard and pen input, and the power to run standard programs. I may be wrong, but I don't...
