Just joined the club myself. Coming from SP2. Went with the i7/512/8GB model. Blue type cover.

Can you provide specifics as to which update you're referring to? Hadn't checked for any Windows Updates in awhile, just installed one for Windows 8.1 intended to 'resolve various issues', it was about ~97MB.

I would be more than happy to jump in on the updates, my problem was getting them from (as mentioned above) torrent sites, etc. Just don't know if those files have been messed with unless it's from a reputable source. I'd rather do a reg-hack to show an update the normal way (Windows Update)...

Thanks for posting that. Haven't come across it yet myself but I haven't had my SP2 for that long. Will need to check that out.

If you recently set that up on a phone that could be it. Installing OneDrive/Skydrive on a mobile device there is a camera backup option that's enabled by default I think.

Never had the issue, but I don't store anything that would be considered adult material in OneDrive. I think in the terms of service (at least it used to be) wording in there saying they pretty much don't allow porn - so if you were a professional photographer that happened to take nude pics as...

The deal with OneDrive is you can forget having to schedule backups of your documents, pictures, etc. Everything you store in OneDrive is automatically synced (pretty much reali-time unless you change the settings) when you make changes. I stopped backing up my files (other than periodic...

That's new to me. Got a link to a thread about the issue? Just because the size increases on this microsdxc card, if this were an issue, I don't think that this is doing anything to fix it.

I forgot to follow up here. I eventually did receive the refurbished Surface Pro (it was flawless, like brand new). So overall the 3 day advanced exchange process took 3 weeks, but in the end they corrected the issue.

It's a good deal for those who would have had to purchase it otherwise. I understand what you're staying, for sure it's a strategy for MS to make money in the end, but it's no different than any other free subscription you can get anywhere else. It lasts for a little bit, then you have to pay...

I do hope Elop does great things for the divisions he's taking over, it's just odd for me that (granted they were just rumors) that they would choose someone who was potentially questionable. But given the additional information about his history, he may be a great fit in terms of ensuring...

Just an update I did purchase the 128GB microsdxc card from Amazon. Will update everyone on when it arrives and if it works, and how well it works. I was going to check in-store availability for BestBuy but looks like it is back ordered - which is crazy if people didn't price check it at...

I think it's fair to say that the Intel HD 4000 has it's shortcomings, but it's no slouch either. People probably would have preferred something like the Intel HD 5000 (I think is in the Macbook air?). With that said, Microsoft still didn't go up to the 5000 series when they released the...

They will validate your purchase date in the case that you lose your codes and call them for a new one so you can redeem. They will ask for proof of purchase, etc and then give you a code. I know this because my sister purchased a surface 2 and lost her paper with the code. She didnt know...

I don't know that this is fact yet, there's no reason that it shouldn't - really. A lot of devices state they support up to 64gb because there was nothing larger at the time. 128gb microsdxc was just introduced 2 days ago - we can hardly confirm for fact that it doesn't work yet on any Surface...

Nice camera work! What kind of lens? Or did you use Lightroom or Photoshop for the effect?

Seems like you just have a couple hundred bucks to burn. :). Another recommendation - you could take advantage of this "steal" and purchase the new microSDXC 128GB Sandisk card on Amazon, which is currently only $119, and you get more space for your Surface Pro. You could then buy an...

Whether it's a waste of money is really up to you. We don't know how well the surface battery cover is going to work out. It's late getting out (IMO), and will frankly make your surface pro heavier. So for $199 - you really have to find out if you buy the Surface RT - you won't need the...

Yeah, the sculpt comfort is where it's at. Bluetooth, doesn't require dongle (frees up a USB for you), and should match up to the colors you have on your cover and phone case.

I am quoting your post - better looking xbox and surface? Both of which don't have problems in the looks department, purely functionality and software. So again...still wondering what Elop is supposed to do there. Neither of those products (Surface is debatable) are really struggling right...
