Next time use a coaster. I have a couple counter tops with the same circles.

I run it for better compatibility with games and 3D software like Mudbox, Maya, Inventor and Mari.

Worked for me every time. I never had to uninstall previous driver, using the zip download works fine.

Download the zip version of the driver and uncompress. Go to device manager and find display driver and click to update driver, manually browse to the graphics folder of the unzipped driver.

Well, just played a bunch of SCII on my i7 SP3 and I am very pleased. I played it a lot on my SP2, but it felt sluggish at 1280x720 resolution. On the i7 SP3, at 1280x800 resolution, it felt great, no sluggishness at all. The fan did blow a lot, but not as loud as my SP2 used to blow. I was...

This is similar to what Apple had with the iPad and iPhone 5. Both of mine had Yellow tint to the screens, which was noticeable when compared with iPhone 4s. It turned out to be a manufacturing defect in one of the plants that made the screens, where the glue used to adhere the glass to the...

I'm using Chrome Version 39.0.2138.3 dev-m (64-bit) and have no heat or battery issues. I'm also using extensions that disable ads and tracking, which im guessing eat up the cpu.

I have the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse. Works over bluetooth. I haven't changed the batteries since I got the mouse 7 months ago. It also feels like a real mouse, real button feel and middle mouse button, which I need for 3D work.

Microsoft is working on a control panel for the pen, like the wacom one for the SP2. Microsoft plans to release it in the September update. Hopefully they will stick to that, as of right now, the pen buttons are completely useless for artists.

Yes you can. With older drivers there were issues with Mudbox, Intel was aware and fixed it. It didn't trickle down to Microsoft yet. When Titanfall came out, I actually could play it on my SP2, but only with the beta drivers from Intel. So yes, you would get benefits, but only update if you are...

You can't use the SP3 as a pen tablet for another computer. You can plug in a large monitor, set it to display only on the external display and still use the pen tablet input, which will be mapped onto the external display, turning your SP3 into a drawing tablet with it's own screen off.

My Lenovo laptop has a feature that keeps the battery at 50% to extend the life of the battery. I guess charging the battery to full 100% lowers it's lifespan.

I did a full factory reset, which reset the device to when I first got it. I did not turn on Hyper-V this time and had no issues since. I'm have a 256gb i7 SP3.

I did it. It was simple, you just follow the prompts. I followed some advice on this forum about enabling Hyper-V and changing the wireless card settings to Performance, and what followed was constant bluescreens, even after turning Hyper-V. Also got a bunch of Thermal shutdowns with Hyper-V on...

Yeah, the SP3 cable is Bendy. If you kink it, it stays that way, and you have to really work to untangle it. As long as you keep it relatively straight it's fine. I wish they had a 24w power adapter like they have for the Surface 2. I used it with my SP2 and it worked great. Was smaller...

I hate using the default tiles that Windows makes. I made tiles to replace the default ones using Photoshop and I used OblyTile to add the tiles to the Start Screen.
