It IS a Chrome problem! That's incredibly odd! And obviously shows that I switched to Chrome last month since it actually supports some touch gestures while Microsoft Edge and IE no longer support them (which is a ridiculous step back). Also got my first Android phone and wanted to transfer my...

This has been around for about a month now where the on-screen keyboard doesn't auto-capitalize the first letter of a new sentence. It's a small problem but does anyone have any workarounds? Toggling the option in settings doesn't fix this.

To be fair, the last time I woke it up was with a button press. I take it there is no record of previous wake ups?

Just tried the powercfg /lastwake and it told me basically nothing: "Wake history count - 1 Wake history [0] Wake source count - 0"

I hadn't experienced this in a long time at this point but tragedy is back: I pulled my SP4 out of my bag super hot. I'd guess that it was around 70 degrees, very uncomfortable to hold and the heat radiating out of my bag. It wasn't obvious when I took it out of sleep what was causing this in...

Have you manually ensured that your SP4 is completely updated? You can do this by going to Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update. A firmware update was release about a month ago that fixed the battery drain during sleep.

Seriously, this is the best piece of tech I have ever owned and it's been basically hassle-free (after the exchange). Anyone having blue screens and constant crashes either has installed some sketchy stuff or there's something majorly wrong with their unit. It's possible that there were more...

Sounds like you're having hardware issues since I also had some issues at launch but it turns out that was from a faulty unit where the keyboard port died. With my exchange unit, I have had basically zero issues other than the known display driver crash... which hasn't happened to me in at least...

If you're not too strapped on budget, I would recommend the Razer Orochi gaming mouse: Razer Orochi 2015 Gaming Mouse - Wired / Wireless Mouse I have the 2013 version I believe. What I really like about it other than the ergonomics, 4 side buttons, and quality clicking is that it's a dual...

Basically, just use the device however you feel like it because, by the time the battery has suffered significant loss of maximum charge from wear in maybe 3-4 years, a much better device will be out that you'll probably want to upgrade to.

On top of what jnjroach said, because you cannot remove and store the battery separate of the device, it is generally better to have the device plugged in whenever you can (unless you're trying to do that once-a-month drain) which prevents the battery from being used, thus lowering your number...

"This is a fact. We just don't have evidence for it." You do realize that, if that's the best evidence that you are putting forward (a study with 10 participants where the difference was only 20-30%, ie. 2-3 people's perception, where it may not have been blinded), even if it were true, we have...

If you look at my above post, you'll find that the SP4 Core m3 is roughly 45% faster than the S3 Atom. Let's look at the prices from the Microsoft Store online: S3 128 GB = $600 USD SP4 m3 128 GB = $900 USD The SP4 is exactly 50% more money than the equivalent S3 (but includes the pen which is...

Here's a synthetic benchmark comparison. Using Geekbench, you'll see scores for every Surface device. Synthetic benchmarks are not completely representative of real world performance but should give us a reasonable comparison between the devices. Surface - Geekbench Search - Geekbench Browser...

If you got the basic SP4 with the lower end Core m3 CPU, it is very likely to be slower than all versions of the SP3... but also lighter and quieter since it doesn't have any fans. Edit: Correction after I looked up Geekbench - the SP4 Core m3-6Y30 is faster than the SP3 Core i3-4020Y

I've had a SP4 i5, 256 GB, 8 GB since the Oct. 26 launch. In the first week, there were only a few issues that I suffered, namely the Intel display driver crashes and large battery drain during sleep. After a week, my keyboard port failed, thus I got a replacement just as a large update came...

I got a replacement because the keyboard port died.

Keyboard port died on my unit within a week so got an exchange. Current unit appears to be perfect, however.

No BSODs so far for me.

The updates from today don't seem to fix the waking from sleep issues. That's unfortunate.
