    Norton Identity Safe

    I recently (late last week) spoke with a Symantec Customer Support person (he was in Chenei in India) and he advised me that Norton Utilities and Norton 360 are not compatible with the Surface Pro 3. Asked him about Norton Anti-Virus and he was not sure. He told me to be safe and not install any...

    Coming from Macbook Air (mid-2011) i7

    I went with the Sp3 i7/256 because I have an hp Touchsmart all-in-one with a 23inch screen i7 processor 16GB ram and 2TB hard drive. The i7 Sp3 is probably over the top for my needs but it is lightning fast (faster than my hp all-in-one) and I am happy with my purchase. I bought this mainly to...

    micro SD card not working

    When I go to This PC on my device it tells me that my "d"drive is SDHC. The card I am using is an SanDisk 64GB Ultra microSDHC UHS - I. It works in my machine. Also I did not Format (naughty boy) the card when I installed it. I did expect that it would not work until it had been formatted in...

    Poll Which internet browser do you use?

    I use IE MUI and desktop exclusively. Will not use Chrome as I am not a Google fan. Or a fan of the fruity variety either.

    October firmware update

    Unfortunately with any product that is mass produced, no two items are exactly the same. It does not matter what the product is. Cars, refrigerators tv's etc. no two are the same. My Sp3 is great despite this latest problem but I just wish the people at Microsoft would lift their game and work...

    Yellow streak reduction???

    Thanks for the comment mitchellvii I had a good laugh when I read that. A good start to my day. I do not have a yellow streak on my Sp3 so I can not give it a massage " with a happy ending". You do have a good sense of humour.

    October firmware update

    I work on the premise "If it ain't broke don't fix it". Prior to the October 28 update my Sp3 i7 256 was working great. No problems. Since the update when I wake my device from sleep it cannot detect my home wireless network. It picks up all the wireless networks in the neighbourhood but not...

    I just plug my power adapter into a 3 metre (10 feet) extension cord. Does the trick for me.

    Buying Surface Pro 3 this weekend, need advice please

    I have a i7/8/256 and do not experience heating problems. Also the fan operates less often than my hp Touchsmart all-in-one with a 23 inch screen, i7 processor 16 gb ram and 2tb hard drive. I also have a WD 1tb hard drive attached to my SP3 through the docking station. I am more than happy with...

    Surface Pro 3 USB issues

    There are numerous posts on this forum as well as other Forums discussing this very point. I know because I did extensive research before purchasing my SP3. As I was aware of a power problem with the USB slot on the SP3 (not enough power to operate some devices attached to the port) I also...

    Surface Pro 3 USB issues

    Perhaps if you had done proper and thorough research before you bought the device then you would not be here whinging about it. There is no substitute for proper research. If you are not happy with the Surface Pro 3 then return it as "not fit for purpose". Then perhaps you will be happy. Do not...

    Type Cover Serial Number

    The serial number is on the spine just to the right of the connector. On mine it is almost impossible to see. I had to use a magnifying class under a powerful light. Trust that helps.

    fan noise

    Wynard32 said "This is all from memory and may not be exactly precise. But seriously, "cholesterol is a plaque that lines the arteries of the body...and can eventually lead to a heart attack."? That's complete hogwash" Unfortunately Wynard32 you do not know what you are talking about. The...

    fan noise

    Well to tell you the truth I do not have much time for people who post irrelevant comments on any forum. If a person can not post a sensible, constructive and relevant comment then they should consider not posting at all. Are you reading this Greyfox7?. Some of your posts fall into that category.

    fan noise

    Do you know what cholesterol is? I think not. Cholesterol is a plaque which lines the arteries of the body restricting the flow of blood through those arteries and can eventually lead to a heart attack. I would like to say that some of your posts here are bordering on the ridiculous. I would...

    fan noise

    I have an hp Touchsmart all-in-one desktop computer. This computer has an Intel i7 processor, 23 inch screen, 8gb ram and 2tb hard drive. The fan in this computer seems to run constantly and always has. Even when it is idle. But do I worry about it. No I do not. The warranty ran out a long time...

    fan noise

    I do not know why some of you people worry so much about your device(s). They do come with a two year warranty you know. So stop worrying and just use the damn thing. If it breaks down before the two years is up then you can get it replaced under warranty. Really this forum seems to be full of...
