    Backup Drive

    I'd just build one. Buy a USB 3 enclosure and then choose any drive you want.

    New Apple 12" MacBook - competition to SP3 ?

    Because... they don't really work in a laptop (yet). In the traditional Windows desktop environment, touch screens don't work any better than they did 15 years ago. And touch screens certainly won't work in OS X, Apple have made it very clear that the iPad is their tablet device, and MacBooks...

    New Apple 12" MacBook - competition to SP3 ?

    They do with their own ecosystem - Continuity, handoff, AirDrop, AirPrint, iCloud. All designed for use with no wires.

    new macbook screen almost same as sp3?

    Well a flash drive isn't really necessary for it to function as notebook. The SP3 is half a computer unless you buy the Type Cover, which you have to just for it to be a competitor to notebooks out there.

    New Apple 12" MacBook - competition to SP3 ?

    Well of course it is competition, I mean that thing is pretty incredible. Only the other day @GreyFox7 was talking about the SP4 being "portless", and here we have our first example of machine going that way. Will it work? Errr, maybe. With my SP3, I very rarely need the USB port, and most of...

    MWC 2015: The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 wins the GSMA Award for Best Mobile Tablet

    I'm currently here at MWC and I have to say Microsoft's showing is pretty awesome, they have a great stand/conference area and provided us with free Ethernet access on Monday :) But what has been really cool is the amount of SP3's out in the wild here! I have mine here obviously but seeing so...

    Surface pro as a Cintiq?

    Well, if my understanding of a cintiq is correct - a standard windows tablet with a highly sensitive wacom screen that plugs in to a PC to become just a normal input device, surely the same result can be had from simply plugging the SP3 in to monitor as suggested above?

    Solved Giving SurfacePro3 as a gift and need help!

    Yeh there is a workaround - you need to use the Windows 8 Music Player, NOT Windows Media Player. Right Click on an album using this and you'll get the option to Pin to Start.

    From macair 13" to surface pro 3

    Good point, I use the Magic Trackpad with my iMac and yeh, it is unbeatable. I am rather fond of the SP3 trackpad though, though that's mostly just psychological because I used to have the SP2 and it's horrendous trackpad. Though now mentioning it, I'm gonna test the Magic Trackpad with my SP3...

    From macair 13" to surface pro 3

    Er, because that was literally Microsoft's entire SP3 marketing campaign. When it comes to laptops, there is not really much that can compete with an MBA in terms of design, portability and especially battery life. In fact there was a report not long ago that compared the endless plastic dregs...

    ARC mouse for SP3 question.. auto-scroll?

    ^This. Double tapping the strip initiates a middle click, which in a browser or any scrollable document normally gives the behavior you described.

    OneDrive: How to Back Up Desktop Folder and other "User" Folders?

    An easy option would just be to move the location of the User Pictures/Music/Video/Desktop etc. to OneDrive. It's easy to do, simply right click on the folder and choose properties, then click the location tab and move it from C\Users\Username\ to OneDrive.

    Solved PayPal/Hotmail issue

    Can you ping Hotmail.com? I can and get 100% response. Also I'd try just changing your DNS to Google's and test that 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Also, on the iPad are you using the Paypal app or going on the site through Safari?

    Youtube Video Playback Issue

    30Mbps is just what Youtube was using (it buffered the whole vid a few seconds) my actual speed is 160Mbps. :P England does have a great advantage in our openness of providers :)

    Youtube Video Playback Issue

    Hhhmm well the 1080p playback on my IE and Chrome both show it using 30Mbps worth od bandwidth, so I'm surprised yours is working on Chrome on only 5Mbps. Right click on the video during playback and check bandwidth on the nerd stats.
