IE 11 crashes for me constantly, regardless of site, and various virus/malware checkers show no infection on my SPro 3...

What frustrates me with manufacturers is there is obviously a lot of interest in MORE onboard storage - we aren't all cloud junkies - QUIT SHORT-CHANGING US!

Then how do Dell (XPS 15), Lenovo (ThinkPad Yoga), and others get away with removable bottom plates on their laptops (so you can remove/upgrade ram and ssd)? Those batteries are not sealed. Don't get me wrong, I don't want the SPro 3 to grow to be 0.5" again, but why couldn't the bottom plat...

If you go to the blog where he details what he did, note how UNBELIEVABLY CLOSE that cut is to the Li Battery - explosion, burn, leak?

Squeamish at best - but apparently works... http://liliputing.com/2015/03/upgrade-a-surface-pro-3-with-a-power-drill.html :eek::eek::eek: Where can I buy a dremel?

AMEN - it is far better than ANY iPad keyboard (trust me, I tried nearly all of them), and is even better (to me) than my wife's Toshiba and the Dell XPS 15 we tried. If for no other reason, PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End ALL HAVE DEDICATED BUTTONS - I was shocked at that HUGE available keyboard deck...

And that's the ONLY reason for Apple not making a touch enabled hybrid - their never ending quest for cash. Not saying there is anything wrong with naked capitalism (and I'm an iPhone 6 Plus devotee and soon to be Apple Watch owner), but STOP with defending the indefensible (looking at you...

SC - where did you get that awesome desktop background? On Topic - I am amazed by (1) the number of Windows users who deride touchscreens without even trying them, and (2) the number of immediate converts once they do. There will always be the crowd that claims you are committing a mortal sin...

Yes - Ms. Griffin is very much an Apple/Android fan (check out her highly technical reviews of the "pocketability" of various iPhones and Android phones in her skinny jeans). :rolleyes: Also, this is going to sound equally "fanboy" from a longtime Microsoft (DOS/Windows) user, but I have yet to...

With the "quality" of the SPro 3 camera, how can you tell...I should have resisted, but just couldn't control myself...:D

OUCH! Read what Windows fan NUMBER 1 has to say about the prospects of an iPad Pro: https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/1838/can-apple-disrupt-the-hybrid-pc-market-with-an-ipad-pro I know he's controversial, but Paul always tells you what he thinks, right, wrong, or indifferent. This time he seems...

I think we will see the iPad Pro next week at the backend of the Apple Watch Re-premiere. I think they want to get a leg up on Microsoft before the SPro 4/Windows 10 hits the market. The Apple Watch alone won't keep the stock price climb. If not, it will be the Reina MacBook Air up to bat, with...

Outer Limits Moment: Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) passed away today at age 83. A sad day indeed... We now return you to your regular programming... (Those of you my age will recall he got one of his early starts on Outer Limits - I, Robot)...

OK - since you insist: The Surface cannot stream music to a Bluetooth or wireless music system without changing power settings which then consume a considerable amount of power to do this simple task. 1. Jeff already pointed out Xbox does it (you dismissively respond it's an application no...

None of the replies answer my fundamental question of why the SPro 3 is a "mediocre tablet." The fact that is missing some of your favorite "apps" or does things different than you prefer is YOUR preference, and not a subjective defense of claims it is an inferior tablet. It is in fact equal to...

I want someone, just once, to explain WHY the Surface Pro 3 is not a great tablet. And don't quote me stats about a "quintillion" iPad/Android Apps, the vast majority of which are WORTHLESS. They have a lead in gaming, no doubt, but what is so critical to your use of a tablet that makes the SPro...

Do not be fooled by Hollywood - I watched MacBreak Weekly (an OBVIOUS fanboy webcast) yesterday and there was a spirited debate over that upcoming episode, because the Apple gear they were using was doing stuff it actually can't - like multi-party FaceTime conversation - all via "simulated...

What a weird feeling - I agree with both of you. So many of those multitude of Apps in the Apple and Google stores are of one of two characters: (1) front ends to what would have been a web application, or (2) a reduced feature - narrow focused - single app (the breaking up of much larger full...

@hughlle - Have you asked her whether she prefers Nexus or Surface? Back to the topic. Even though I kept the Asus VivoTab Note 8 to give me a quick "grab-&-go" alternative, I keep gravitating to the SPro3 for its all-in-one convenience. I've even ordered a refurbished Asus 21" portable touch...

I've posted this in several different threads and forums, but even with my old eyes, I dock my SPro 3 and use two WQHD 27" monitors in a daisy chain - I set the scaling factor one notch below "Larger" and let Windows do the rest. Outlook in full screen on the 27", Word docs, IE and Chrome all...
