    Finally...128GB micro sd

    I have no idea, but the general consensus is anything newer these days (which should include the Surface Pro). I couldn't find a clear cut "if you have this kind of system board or new it should be fine" data - just that most machines should support it. I think there will be more of a problem...

    Finally...128GB micro sd

    Huge find! Awesome! Will stop by best buy this weekend and see if they are still price matching (I believe they are). Also just to see if it's still in stock. If not - no biggy will just buy from Amaon direct. Kayzee - you're right about the iPhones. I own one too - solid phone, but...

    Stephen Elop Will be Put in Charge of Xbox Gaming Division, Surface & Windows Phone

    So either the rumors are absolutely false, or Microsoft has made a poor decision. Hard to tell, but it sounds like some people thought that putting a guy who had doubts about a product in charge of that product was a great idea. I'm curious if there were no other candidates that could have...

    Finally...128GB micro sd

    It's true, it is a bit pricey, but microSDXC and SSD's - different purposes other than just storage. Ultimately I think the Android and other mobile device users are going to eat this up - where SSD doesn't help you at all. Makes buying a phone just because of it's larger internal storage...

    Surface Complete Replacement for Surface Pro 1?

    Absolutely the process can be trying. I was one of the ones who received a faulty unit, and had to return it, and ultimately a 2-3 day exchange process turned into 3 agitating weeks. I guess I can say -the expectation should be that the unit you receive is near flawless. Indeed if you search...

    Advice for buying a Surface

    Yeah I think so. The 64gb and 128gb combo's make more sense with that new addition. I think the price difference is roughly $200-$300 - but the bonus of paying that much more with the Surface Pro 2 is an additional 8GB of ram, that's really it. I was hoping that 128gb microsd card would...

    Surface pro 2 replacement

    I'm not from Spain so I won't pretend to understand that, but you will want to make sure that the law does in fact apply to you here. Sometimes there's fine print that says if there's an exception or not.

    Surface pro 2 replacement

    Was just trying to make a comparison about the warranty options available, but since you've already purchased complete you're really stuck with what they offer. Frankly, there's nothing wrong with refurbished.

    Surface Complete Replacement for Surface Pro 1?

    Haha, and that's why they only give refurb units for replacements. :) not to put any doubts in your mind because I guess it could still happen, but keep in mind they built so many Pro's and Surface RT's that they had to write most of them off eventually and start marking down the price...

    Surface pro 2 replacement

    Nothing political about it. Not everyone replaces the unit with a brand new device. Yes it will be refurbished but that doesn't mean the hardware is junk. If you get a new device and you find something wrong with it- simply return it. I had to do this myself on my last exchange, but the...

    Surface Complete Replacement for Surface Pro 1?

    They will give you a refurb of surface pro 1. Wont be able to upgrade it through their online exchange process, their systems won't allow you to do it. I know - I just tried during my surface pro 1 advanced exchange (also have Microsoft complete). The replacement units are 'like new' - the...

    Advice for buying a Surface

    Yeah - it's still a good service. The limitations I can currently think of are 2gb file sizes - I don't think there are any related to download/upload caps or anything like that. The 2GB file size limitation isn't permanent, and they were supposed to be looking at increasing that gap. At the...

    Advice for buying a Surface

    Just wanted to correct one thing about that statement - the 200GB OneDrive deal is good for 2 years, not just 1. Also - the subscription costs for OneDrive are amongst the lowest out there, with that same 200GB only costing $100/year (under $10/month - relatively inexpensive). I would...

    Finally...128GB micro sd

    SanDisk Packs 128GB Into A MicroSD Card | TechCrunch Should be available this week, at least at Best Buy and Amazon. Hope price is reasonable! What do you guys use your micro sd's for? I have a 32GB and 64GB - one for games and another for movies. Updated: Link to Best Buy $199 (they may...

    Surface Pro HOT... During sleep and charging

    Yeah I had this issue when I first got my Surface Pro. I would pick it up in the morning and find it's still hot - and that's because it wasn't sleeping. skellington is right on the money - auto-sleeping issues. I did some trial and error with it and eventually I just set it to shut down when...

    So how long does it REALLY take for replacement unit to arrive?

    Always been my past experience. Glad that worked out for you!!! My original request was on a Tuesday, got the replacement Friday (3 business days), but it was a faulty unit and that's where it went downhill.

    is this a good deal ..?! Surface pro 128GB for 449$ ( Manufacturer refurbished )

    It's not bad. It's also hard to say how many more times we will even see similar deals for brand new ones.

    So how long does it REALLY take for replacement unit to arrive?

    Well...the update I got today was they used the wrong serial number in the request, so they had to close it, and do another one - basically losing a day or 2. So I probably won't see my unit until next week...assuming there are no more hiccups. Is what it is, but it's just irritating, I...

    "Apps" all crashing

    Well the mostly rant you posted didn't give us a lot to go on with the crashing apps other than you messed with some permissions and something broke. Thought it was pretty clear where to start. :) With that said - you could have tried a system refresh to see if that resolved your issues...
