    Surface Pro 3 i5 vs Surface Pro 3 i7 - which one to get

    Yesterday I downloaded an 940mb file and installed it on my i7/256gb. The whole process took about 45 minutes (on my slow connection) and the fan did not cut in once. Nor did the device get anymore than Luke warm. Contrast that with my hp touch smart all in one desktop which also runs an i7...

    Device encryption

    I do have a Microsoft account and have registered my SPro 3 with Microsoft. My question is: do I have to encrypt the device?

    Device encryption

    Thanks for that. That is what I was hopping for. Encryption is something that I am not interested in at all. I appreciate your help.

    Device encryption

    Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I purchased an Surface pro 3 i7/256 last Friday (Sept 19) and so far all is good except for the pen which came with the device. Although I bought this device from a retail outlet, Microsoft Australia replaced the pen, no questions asked and rather speedily as...
