    Seriously Loud Fans and Battery Issues

    I don't ever know that my fans are running. Ever. People have told me that there are fans in there. I wouldn't know it. Have you looked to see if there is a process hogging the CPU cycles?

    Surface Pro 3 'best' or?

    They have bumped the warranty to a full year on each replacement SP3. I'm just hoping that I don't get into some type of refurb-hell so to speak. It performs so well, that I spend a lot of time setting up all of my programs and tools, only to have to start over. I keep very good backups, and...

    Surface Pro 3 'best' or?

    Just recently, I posted a comment in a thread about the Surface Pro 3 being the best. This is my 'new' story. I'm starting to worry. I bought a Surface Pro 1 when they were first available. I really like the machine. Didn't care for Win 8.0. Liked Win 8.1 and like Win 10 on it. The battery...

    Surface Type Cover not recognized, likely due to a driver issue

    Mine shows a "Surface Type Cover Filter Device". But only when the cover is attached. If I detach the keyboard, that goes away. Maybe it is hardware, so the driver isn't showing.

    Surface Pro 3 - best computer I've owned

    Well, my great initial experience got a little tarnished. As I mentioned before, I damaged my SP1, a bit over a month ago. I bought a refurb SP3 to replace it. The experience had been nearly perfect. Then, last Friday, the SP3 powered off for no reason. Nothing would get it to power on. I had to...

    Medical history forms

    Sounds like an editable PDF is what you want. After the patient fills it out, the fill can be 'flattened' so nobody else can alter it. Try Xodo PDF editor. Drawboard always frustrated me.

    Surface Pro 3 - best computer I've owned

    I bought a Surface Pro 1 when they were first released. I was happy, except for the battery life. I always used a portable battery pack, and all was well. Late last year I damaged the Pro 1 when I tossed the battery pack on the table and it crashed into it. I wanted a replacement, but didn't...

    Sacrificed SP3 for Data

    A bit of heat to soften the glue on the display and you aren't going to 'destroy' anything.

    Charge my SP3 from a battery pack?

    I use a battery pack often. It is a PowerAdd 32000. 12 volt 4.5 amp output. (i'm not sure what current is needed) I got a cable off of Amazon or Ebay for a few bucks. The battery is close to 120 watt/hour. A few hours ago, my SP3 was at about 50%. It is now at 100% and the external pack is close...

    Bad connector. I would inspect and clean the connectors.

    Case; Skin; or Bare

    I always worry about anything that might trap heat in the cabinet, especially anything that may cause the battery to be warmer and shorten its life.

    Are the WIFI issues with the Surface Book resolved? (before I buy)

    Someone has WiFi issues? News to me, mine just works anywhere I go.

    Solved delete thread

    If you like the device, put a skin on it with the $$$ you saved. If you have doubts about the device, return it.

    My Surface Book Keeps Turning On In My Bag (Even after I turn it off!)

    I got to work one day last week and mine was smoking hot in the bag. I may have bumped the button. But I'm still confused as to why any high priority process is running and eating processing cycles, when the lid is closed. Odd.

    Surface Book bulge

    I would exchange it. On mine it is almost impossible to find it.

    Was the battery tested?

    Will 16v Kill My SB?

    I know that 12 volts will not charge my Book at all. But 12 volts will slowly charge the clipboard alone. It wasn't important enough to me to try 16 volts. I doubt there would be an issue, but it just wasn't worth the worry to me.

    Anyone use the BaseQI MicroSD Adapter???

    I have the BaseQi iSDA 350A, with a 128GB card. It is flush with the cabinet side, almost perfect. I forget it is there until I reconnect the clipboard and get the 'drive E: connected' message.

    i7 Surface book Battery consumption

    Well, if it is running hot, then it is busy doing something. I would give it a couple of days and hope it completes a few updates that will clear it up. I guess it could be a defect.

    LOOKING FOR USER FEEDBACK

    I would assume that he needs to be mobile, so may often be out of data connection range.
