    Dropped My Surface Pro 3....

    How long have you had it? Some credit cards have a 90 day accidental damage protection built in, like American Express. I've exchanged a couple iPhones with American Express, was very easy and painless.

    Custom Toolbar

    Since Microsoft still doesn't let you remap the buttons on the pen, I started using this great little toolbar. You can create custom toolbars for any program. This is one I made for Mudbox. It lets me use this program without a keyboard...

    Surface Pro 3 bends by itself due to heat

    My question is this. If my SP3 is bent (Mine IS bent), would I qualify for a replacement? Would I have to pay the deductable if I have Microsoft Extended Warranty? Also, If your SP3 is not bent today, but next week you realized it was bent, would you be upset, would you try to get a replacement?

    Surface Pro 3 bends by itself due to heat

    Mine is bent. I will exchange it close to when the warranty will expire since I'm on my 3rd SP3 and don't feel like going through setting it up again. I have the i7.

    Cursor Issues

    It could be the touch screen. My replacement Surface Pro 3 arrived and kept registering touch at the top center of screen, and sometimes the windows button would register a touch, even though I wasn't even near the surface. Even after restore, still persisted. I had to send it back again. My new...

    3D Modelling on the SP3

    I just made a little video using Maya 2015, Mudbox 2015 and Zbrush 4r6 with some of my models. I'm using the Surface Pen in Mudbox and Zbrush, they both have pressure support, but sadly, Multi-Touch is not working in any package. The next version of Maya does support multi-touch, and it works...

    SP3 goes to sleep playing Microsoft Silverlight

    My cable company provides an app that uses Microsoft Silverlight to stream cable tv to your computer. When I run it, Windows doesn't detect anything is playing, and goes to sleep while I'm watching the app. Besides setting my SP3 to never sleep, anyone have an idea how to fix this...

    IE 11 is hands down the best browser for SP3

    I'm not talking about popups. Yahoo mail, Gmail, CNN, facebook, or just any website is loaded with ads. I use extensions in chrome that block 99% of those, Webmail Ad Blocker, Ad Blocker Plus, and Ghostery. With those extensions, pages load way faster in Chrome than in IE, simply because IE...

    IE 11 is hands down the best browser for SP3

    Well after trying IE MUI for a bit, I give up. Maybe some people just like ads more than others.

    IE 11 is hands down the best browser for SP3

    Does IE metro not support add-ons/extensions? I installed some in IE desktop but they don't seem to work in Metro, add-ons like "ad block plus".

    Will this pen work with SP3?

    It won't show up in BT devices because the only thing the surface pen uses for BT is the purple button.
