But you cant hold it as a tablet unless they could code a palm-blocking properly, which I highly doubt.

Have you tried installing Intel GPU driver? Open downloadcenter.intel.com, then pick "Graphics Driver", pick "Laptop graphics driver", and pick the appropriate GPU for your SP3 (i3: 4200, i5: 4400, i7: 5000). After the installation has finished, extract the archive. Now open Device Manager...

Mine does that too, and I think a lot of SP3s have that issue as well. If youre bothered with that, you can always ask for a replacement. But if I were you, I would just pretend it didn't exist

I forgot to mention that I hate zippers :) Do you know of any other bag that doesn't use a zipper? I would love to use magnet-based latch there

Ah I get it, its Intel's GPU power saving feature. You can turn it off with the Surface Tweak Tool (The option is "Dynamically adjust the contrast ratio when on battery."). Another way to do that is to use Intel's GPU driver to gain the full GPU Control Panel. Just download it off...

In general, most desktop apps were not designed with power consumption in mind, hence the power consumption. However, Microsoft has optimized their software for optimum battery life, hence it should be efficient enough. Even then though, it would still use more battery since theyre more...

I wish the keyboard would be cheaper and compatible with my SP3. Win-win.

Pretty much as stated above. If you don't want the SP3 to go to hibernate (deep sleep), just disable hibernation. It would stay in standby (Connected Standby) forever, like the Surface RT. Open elevated cmd (type cmd in the start screen, then right click, and choose "Run as Administrator") then...

My SP3 even shipped with the auto-brightness off. It seems like they know that they kinda messed up in that area.

Just set it at an appropriate distance and keep your eyes at least 25cm away, then youre good to go

I have some questions: 1. Can I use the included dongle on my desktop PC and BT pair my SP3? Im not going to use both at the same time, but it would be nice if I could use one mouse for two computers. I mean, if I have my SP3 next to my desktop PC, which computer will the mouse connect to? 2...

Im looking for a bag or sleeve that can protect my SP3 if it falls (I ride bike, so I should prepare for the worst :D ) It would be better if its compact since I only carry the SP3, BT mouse + keyboard, and some papers. Since Im planning to open and close the bag a lot, I would love to have...

Working Perixx PERIBOARD-804 (first-gen) BT keyboard. I totally recommend this one if youre searching for a BT keyboard for less than $20/€20. It has rechargeable battery that lasts a month (with heavy use, it was my only keyboard) and the customer support is very responsive. My only gripe is...

I am also considering the MOUS9 for my SP3, since it is the only BT mouse made for adults as far as I know. Or do you know any other BT mouse that's made for adults? I don't have a specific need for a mouse. In fact, I game with a generic Logitech corded mouse, and I have no complaint about it...

This might not be the best solution, but the bigger the belly is, the more comfortable and ergonomic it becomes :P

What does HP stand for? I thought it was a typo, but I saw you wrote it twice

It depends on the size. If you could afford it, 27" is the best for productivity. You just have larger canvas to work with. But theres something important beside that, its the ppi number. ppi stands for pixel-per-inch. Its how much pixel you have in every inches square of your monitor. Its super...

Now they should incorporate that into the Surface. That's how they could actually win the lapability

Just try installing Chrome. You can always uninstall it later. Its the second best (read: only other) browser in the metro environment

Is there a caching program for the SD card? For example, 500MB cache of the SD card on the SSD. Something like how SSHD works. That would hugely boost the speed. I tried PrimoCache but it crashed the whole SP3 every few minutes.
