    New Hardware Update?

    Question- what is this "Audio" option in surface app? No explanation given, just "for best quality, set this on".

    SP3 Pen - Have to press very hard!

    Can't tell for sure, but most of the times if you uninstall driver for pen input it works but doesn't have pressure sensitivity in any software. At least with wacom's devices it works that way- pen acts like mouse input then, so even the lightest stroke has full effect. I can confirm that on...

    Games List for SP3?

    Hm, I notice some throttling in more demanding titles, but for example, playing Pillars of Eternity I don't experience drops in framerates. For gaming I'm usually using external fan to get better cooling anyway, it deals with throttling perfectly.

    Using Intel's video drivers pros and cons

    I too am using balanced power plan- "hacking" registry to add high performance for me only caused CPU to work on higher frequencies when idle and did not help with performance in games. For gaming I just use driver from Intel's website which adds control panel and allows me to set GPU for...

    Using Intel's video drivers pros and cons

    Interesting @neurohax , wasn't aware of that. I rarely use wireless display or present anything, so I haven't considered that. That said, in my line of work, when I'm using external display, tablet is in fixed position and I haven't ran into any problems so far.

    SP3 Pen - Have to press very hard!

    I am afraid your Pen might be broken, or batteries might be faulty. Pen has 3 batteries- one AAAA and two small ones similiar to those you find in watches. Pen should work without AAAA battery, but if, and that's big if, for some reason other ones are broken, they might affect how it works. But...

    Using Intel's video drivers pros and cons

    I download driver directly from intel website- intel's download center should be in top results for search in google. Download .zip file and unpack it- remember where you put it. Now the fun part: uninstall Intel's graphics driver from Device Manager, reboot your tablet, navigate back to DM- you...

    Using Intel's video drivers pros and cons

    In my case Hardware Update reverts drivers to 11/14/2014 version. I too am installing them manually from device manager level

    Surface Pro 3 Poor material quality

    I thought color of magniesium alloy was "natural" in SP3, ie. it was mixed with pigments during manufacturing process rather than painted after being shaped. I own Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga for more than year now, which is black, and despite scratches it is still black on damaged areas suggesting it...

    Using Intel's video drivers pros and cons

    I suppose Intel driver installed via Windows Update is sufficient for daily usage, but I always opted for the latest one for gaming. While I cannot show you any hard evidence, I noticed that those newer drivers help with performance more often than not, plus they come with more options to choose...

    Laptop or ???

    Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, there are 12, 14 and 15 inch versions. I used 12inch version before I switched to SP3. It's wacom enabled device, so touch and digitizer capabilities are great, solid battery life, it's very well built and pretty light considering it's sturdyness.

    GTA V on Surface Pro 3, i7 and intel HD 5000

    Surface Support delivers yet again (to Poland)

    Nope, n-trig isn't present in Poland either... I've been trying to find one of their pens on the market since they've been released, so I'm sceptical. On the other hand, I just googled that and found some lenovo and dell n-trig entries for support websites, so I think you actually may be right :)

    Surface Support delivers yet again (to Poland)

    Weird policy for sure, I'm bit scared how it will be with my unit if it goes south, but hopefully it will be as easy as nibs replacement. Today I checked my order and it was already shipped to me. But that's not funny part, funny part is that nibs are sent by UPS from another Polish city...

    Surface Support delivers yet again (to Poland)

    Hey! Today I have contacted Microsoft Support here in Poland to ask about pen nibs availability. After explaining briefly that I need replacements and that I would like to know whether it's possible to buy them, I was asked to contact North American support, as Surface isn't available in my...

    Best Music Player

    I use Spotify mostly, but for stored music I have Gom Audio (I like Gom Video player really much and they recently released metro player, so it's no.1 for me) I don't like having one app to play videos and audio files, so I never felt the need for MediaMonkey or similiar software

    Solved Font in device manager blurry.

    yup, it was the same with me, 150% made dialog boxes and device manager ugly, while 125% displays text everywhere well. I tried various clear type settings but none were fixing it
