Haha, but at least the option is there! It's not the best, but it's there. Plus you know, Angry Birds :P

Good point, but again I have been in situations (like on a train!) where use of the SP3 in full 'laptop' mode is impractical.

Download the original Angry Birds from the Windows Store. Have a tablet version (MUI) of Office.

SP3 iPhone 5s Xbox One

See above. Kinda my point from earlier. Perhaps there is something she is doing that only requires a tablet, not a 2-in1.

No good for a tablet.

Same here, takes about a second to pop in my PIN.

How could I possibly know that? There are hundreds of things, but I don't know, so I'm not starting topics ridiculing her.

Apps for a start, the Windows Store is shockingly bad compared to the App Store. It can't last all day. The camera's are not great. It can't fit in a trouser or jacket pocket.

I think OP you're basic argument is a bit flawed, two dedicated devices can in many instances achieve a lot more than one 'all-in-one' device. I have an iPhone, but I wouldn't for a minute consider it good enough to replace my real camera. That is just one example of where two devices are better...

And you have personal experience with the glorious AppleCare? My last experience with them was so abysmal we had to go to the store 3 times, and the last one even commented on how atrocious the first store was! Needless to say complaints were made and they ended up giving me a voucher and a...

In all fairness to Apple, they have changed some things so that to an end user it does just work: you run more programs and load more startup/background processes - Apple programs autmatically shut when you have no windows open in them. Don't Restart very often - What??? Restart a Mac, never...

Only if you have 8GB RAM, you'll get 4GB free space if you only have 4GB RAM.

After 4 hours of connected standby (0n battery), it will go in to a hibernate mode.

Like @zhenya I am a pretty huge Chrome user, used it ever since version 1 oh so long ago... But on the SP3 I try to avoid it when I can - it just simply does work as well with touch. So for general browsing I try and stick with IE, however for work (we rely on Gdocs and our site CMS is coded for...

I tend to notice a drop of a couple of hours working exclusively on the desktop.

So it seems on my SP3 the mystery dead pixel just to the left of MUI IE is back. You can see it there when on the tab bar... But then as soon as you open the keyboard, it's gone. So it's not actually a dead pixel, because it works, but just doesn't work when looking at just the tab bar!

Yeh the amazon reviews for that thing are a bit scathing and some do specifically mention the Bluetooth connection being a bit crappy. I'd agree that it is likely an accessory issue rather than surface - I have a MS mouse, keyboard and surface pen all connected and working fine at the same time.

You can also change the mui IE options to always show this bar, so you're just one tap away from favourites.

How was you managed to format it? Windows doesn't allow this so I guess you were using 3rd party software?
