Interesting cover from shadmart, but I notice that they carefully avoid showing how the clipboard cover is attached. I wonder why? It would be interesting to see a picture of the front, if you can post one when you get it. Thanks.

IIRC, the limit is 256 Gb. I found a cheap 200 Gb micro and an adapter that actually fits within the slot. Works fine.

Hard to say since I keep it on the keyboard most of the time, but my attached time at present is 9:25, and my unattached time is 2:49. My feeling is that I'd get maybe 3.5 hrs, the way I use it. Don't forget that you can reverse-attach the clipboard and fold it down, getting all batteries in use...

I have an i5/8/256. Running Firefox with 3 or 4 tabs, Thunderbird minimized and 40% brightness, I'll get between 11 and 12 hours estimated by BatteryBar v 3.6.6. In use, this seems to be close to realistic. At the end of a day's teaching, I'll sometimes show 6 or 7 hrs left. Note that I keep a...

Too soon to tell the extent of improvements, but what I can see so far looks good. Start up is behaving, at least under my normal usage, scrolling seems more precise, and general response time seems markedly quicker. Let's hope.

I had an update come through the last few days on my machines, KB3147458. It seemed to clear up a lot of the on-again, off-again problems that my SB was having. The SB is running pretty well now. Not perfect, but functionally well.

I received this update the on 3/22: Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3140741). It disrupted several previously working systems.

Since the update of 3/22, I've had startup problems with Hello/camera not initiating, numerous instances of the keyboard and trackpad not responding, and screen disconnect problems. All of these systems were working OK before the update. Also, the display will randomly shift to file mgr to show...

No problem. I understand venting, having engaged it it myself at times. I guess we'd all like things to have gone more smoothly.

Niterider, you asked for help, I offered help. Accept it or not. I don't really care. But snarkiness gets nowhere.

I believe so too. That's what I set all "downtime" settings to Sleep weeks ago, and haven't had an auto-rotate lapse since.

I have BatteryBar v 3.6.6, and it seems to be as accurate now as it was before the recent updates.

Yes, I still have the camera failure after most overnight extended sleeps. Strangely. it worked properly this morning. Also, the Airplane Mode button was not falsely lit, as it has been. Perhaps the "2-17 system hardware update" that went in yesterday had some positive effect?

That might be one big difference right there. I don't use Hibernate, only Sleep, and I have Fast Startup unchecked. In fact, all options are set to Sleep.

Agreed. I think I may have a better appreciation of the problems faced by MS engineers in their attempts to resolve issues. For some reasons I can't imagine, all our systems are responding differently to their work, and fixing one type of problem in some seems to cause that problem in others...

This was the case with mine until Tuesday's update.

My sympathy to you both. My SB starts with Hello even better than before, and will again autorotate after detaching. I guess there are multiple factors in play. Hang in there.

Similarly for me. Everything was fine for a few days after unchecking fast start up, then trying to cold start up today, no Hello, and I had to manually unlock. I found yesterday's update, ran it, and, after some sluggish, wonky behavior, things have been fine once again. So far, so good. The...

Just a thought... Is it still paired with your device?
