    Do I Need Additional Antivirus Protection for Surface Pro 3?

    Defender is the product you guys are going to want to use. When the Trustworthy Computing group and the Digital Crimes Unit finds a new piece of malware, Defender is the first thing that gets updated. Frequently they will have signatures before other groups do. Additionally MS pays for feeds...

    Replacement i7 SP3 no heat issues

    I bought one of the early i7 versions and haven't had an issue with this one either. I think it was a firmware thing maybe combined with early assembly bugs. Either way, it now kicks butt in games and work. My only issue with it is that it now smells like coffee from all of my time in coffee...

    SP3 Pen Issue

    So it was two defective pens in a row? This sounds like some Agatha Christie crap. Glad you have some closure though!

    Recording i7 temperatures

    My i7 does get warm during games, but I don't sweat it. It is a full blown Windows machine in the form of a tablet. It never overheats, it never shuts down, and it keeps things flowing quickly. I would make sure all of the firmware updates are in place, that you aren't using Google Chrome, and...

    October firmware update

    The HD graphics driver update isn't a big deal. You want the hardware firmware update that is in the firmware and then you can update to the latest software driver as you see fit. That, my friends, is the good thing about a Windows box.

    Microsoft Complete Care Walk-In vs Dell Support

    The XPS 12 has a known screen burn in problem that is well documented. Get rid of it asap. I should know, I had one. It is due to the cheap panels they selected for those units.

    Everyone at my work uses ipads + laptop, Im the only one who is different

    I have been using my SP3 in my hunt for a new home. It has proven to be the silver bullet. Full access to the web and the processor makes it actually lightning fast to show big images or rearrange large lists of properties. The iPad processor just couldn't keep up. Mix into that the large screen...

    SP3 turning on too easily in cover/case

    I use an OGIO bag and just make sure to put the power button up. I have never had an issue with my SP3 being turned on while using this method, but then I've always used this method. It just makes sense that you don't fight gravity. It is, after all, the law.

    List of top 3 likes and dislikes about SP3

    Let me add a new dislike. The SP3 is so light I can't tell if it is in my backpack or not. I find myself opening it to see if I still have it or if some git has nicked it while I had my back turned. It is a terrible problem to have ;-)

    Surface Pro 3 i5 4gb vs 8 gb (Student work (Java?) + League of Legends)

    I have played LoL on my i7 and it runs quite well. I do play with it plugged in though. I have also played other games such as Path of Exile and Portal 2. It performs exceptionally as a student device as well. I went through 7 different laptops before I found the SP3. For my use case, it was the...

    Laggy game from the store

    You need to update your video driver. I'm telling you. You want the very latest beta with the settings in it set to performance. I play this game flawlessly.

    Laggy game from the store

    I would do the manual update to the latest Intel video driver too. That changed my game performance from crap to outstanding.

    Type Cover Serial Number

    The serial number is in the middle of the spine near the plastic lugs that center the keyboard in place. If you don't have a serial number I would be very concerned if the Type Cover were authentic.

    How fast is your OneDrive?

    My Onedrive flies. I move stuff between my iPhone, Surface, and desktops all the time. What provider are you on? Xfinity screams, but any cloud performance is going to be all about your connection to the cloud.

    i7 SP3 overheating issues fixed yet?

    My i7 is from a recent batch and I've never seen the thermometer sign. I also have all of the updates. I think the initial batch may have had production issues, but they are not there for me.
