    Surface pro as a Cintiq?

    No, but if you connect an external monitor to the Surface, and set in the video driver to display only on the external display, disabling the screen on the Surface, the pen will still work, and you can use it like a Wacom Pro Tablet. I use mine just by itself, and it works really well. You'll...

    I love my SP3, but I think i'm going for the Companion 2

    I love my SP3, but the new Wacom Companion 2 is pretty slick. If you can get past the price tag, it has everything I wanted in the SP4. Broadwell processor, next generation Intel HD 6100 video card, 13 inch screen, 16 GB or ram and a 512GB SSD for the top of the line model, and of course a Real...

    Surface 3 Phantom Touches

    I had this on a replacement unit. A reset didn't help, it would register phantom touches even through the setup process. I sent it back for another replacement.

    Hyper Tube for Youtube

    I use HyperTube. It's great but you need to set one thing. Change the default playback to 720p, and you won't have any issues. The freezing happens because by default it will stream at the highest resolution and the buffer can't keep up, no matter your internet speed. This has also been an issue...

    This for a Surface Pro would be amazing

    I don't think anyone is. Right now I have a Laptop and a Surface. I don't really need the laptop, just for gaming. I would love to get rid of my laptop or not have to buy a another computer for gaming. When I'm home, I'd like to have an option to play some games, I don't expect that when i'm out...

    This for a Surface Pro would be amazing

    I want to game with a mouse and keyboard, I have for years. That's why there is still a big market for PC games. If I wanted an XBOX, I'd get one. There are a bunch of reviews about this and they are all positive.

    This for a Surface Pro would be amazing

    You guys missed my point completely. This device is only $300, you can put any video card into it. It uses PCI-E port to connect, so you get full graphics throughput. It will not work with any other device than an Alienware Laptop. This thing basically futureproofs your portable by letting you...

    New Intel drivers posted today (4080)

    You won't get an HD 6000 card, the driver just lists it as supported. To install this new driver you have to download the zip version of the driver, unzip it and from the device manager select the HD 5000 card and update by navigating to the graphics folder in the unzipped driver.

    New Intel drivers posted today (4080)

    Did you guys notice the driver mentioned Intel HD 6000 and Intel Iris 6100 chips, with better performance and 1.5 hours extra battery life. It could be promising for the Surface Pro 4. Hmm, looks like the Intel HD 6000 will be in the new Cintiq Companion 2 Enhanced Edition, which has the new i7...

    Undervolting Revisited

    Me too. The other day I saw this video and thought about undervolting again:
  16. K

    Well, this is enought, no more Surfaces for me.

    Some light bleed is acceptable, but the OP's light bleed is excessive. I had this same issue with my iPad and replaced it until I didn't have any. My first SP3 had moderate light bleed, my replacement was worse. My 3rd SP3 has minimal light bleed and I can live with it. Light bleed should not...

    Disable Hyperthreading?

    Well that's annoying. It's not windows that I'm worried about. There are many times where I do a task that takes a long time and I open the task manager to make sure my application hasn't crashed, and only seeing one logical core cranking away at 100% while the other 3 are at 0% is...

    Disable Hyperthreading?

    The reason I want to disable it is that I use 3D applications like Maya. Maya is multi-threaded 64 bit application, but many of it's plugins and modules are not multi-threaded. So when you're doing something in Maya that is not multi-threaded, only one of your logical cores is being used. With...

    Christmas failure(s)

    Just go to the support site, write down the problems, select exchange and then select advance exchange. You don't have to speak to anyone. You'll get a new SP3 within 2 days and have 14 days to return the old one in the box and shipping label they provide.

    Disable Hyperthreading?

    Is there a way to disable Hyperthreading? Many tasks are not properly multi-threaded and many applications, even while being multi-threaded, still have some tasks within them that don't take advantage of multiple cores. That being said, with Hyperthreading, your physicals cores are split to...
