That is the beauty of the SPro 3 and OneNote - volumes of handwritten notes, all searchable in an instant. You can organize (or not) to your hearts content, clip web pages, insert documents, spreadsheets, emails, you name it. It is always there, always ready for you. I have colleagues that even...

1. SPro 3 2. IBM ThinkPad X60s 3. Toshiba Portege 3010 (my first ultrabook before we called them "ultrabooks")

Isn't that how they came up with the term "personal computer" - different strokes for different folks. I'm generally (now) a one device fiend (well - two - SPro3 and iPhone 6 Plus), but there are many times I just wish I had a small note taking tablet to run to a meeting instead of even...

This is what I have, and had hoped would suffice, but many times the iP6+ is just too small, and insists on rendering pages in mobile mode or tiny print (and yes, I know about requesting full sites, but it usually doesn't work). When I had the lowly HTC Flyer, it had a wonderful browser built...

This one quote blew me away: "And I've come to understand that the benefits of having one mobile device that can do the jobs of two others are outweighed by the reality of such devices: You're better off using Surface Pro 3 as an Ultrabook and carrying an iPad or Android tablet too." Ouch...

You can NEVER have too much storage. If you need the i5 (and it looks like you do), then you need to go 8gb RAM and 256GB. That is the true sweet spot for this device. I would love the i7 with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD, but the premium, and the severe throttling of the i7, makes that a tough...

My hat's off to such a brave band of hardy souls - a level of testing dedication I could never muster.

PLEASE NO! The 3:2 screen form factor is the most brilliant innovation of the Surface pro 3! It is nearly a perfect analog (in portrait) for letter size documents, and give a substantial additional workspace pad for all productivity software in landscape. 16:9 is an abomination of the...

1. I've been shocked that I use my SPro3 in desktop mode, even as a tablet - despite smaller touch targets... 2. Why, because the applications and abilities are far superior to any mobile counterparts... 3. Why is the iPad App Store so much more robust and chock full of software, because the...

Some of the sites (CNet I think) have reported up to $150 off on an SPro3 depending on model, at Best Buy. May be tough to get an i7/512gb from them though.

GreyFox7 is correct - far more complainers (me included) than supporters. In fact, folks who AREN'T having problems are much less likely to rove the forums than the satisfied. In a nutshell, the SPro3 is an EXCELLENT device - not perfect (and if they don't get rid of Marvell I'm going to scream...

Mine still randomly reboots or won't restart from being shut off (not from sleep - very strange); and most aggravating is CONSTANT crashes of Internet Explorer. It seems like every session ends by IE crashing - a real PITA. And this has been going on since the SPro 3 was new. Second worst...

I think we are looking more at an April-May release of the Surface Pro 4 in conjunction with the release of Windows 10. My bet is the exact same chassis (no 9mm specials - they've already declared it will work with the existing SPr0 3 dock), hopefully with USB 3.1 reversible cables, and...

I am a diehard Wacom fan. My N-Trig gives me fits every couple of days with disconnecting, or not writing in OneNote, or the latest, neither the eraser nor select buttons worked and Microsoft had me do a Refresh (what a POS - sure your data isn't blown away, but say good bye to every non-Metro...

Sage advice (ok Strauss - back away and leave the poor guy alone). In all seriousness, there is almost no chance of an SPro4 release ahead of Windows 10, but they may be close together DEPENDING if the Broadwell chipset is available. Then you get the "tock" to the SPro 3 "tick" = same shell...

UPDATE - Replacement Unit Is Being Shipped From Microsoft After being on a tech service call for just shy of 90 minutes, including reinstallation of the 9/9/2014 firmware upgrade, which immediately after restart brought the wireless card up with "Limited Connectivity" they gave up and...

I agree about the battery drain - probably a case of overkill for what I need. I may go back to Drawboard and give it another try.

You really gave up PDF Annotator for Drawboard - Drawboard seems laggy and tough to adjust pen thickness and file saving.

Well, back again (remember Nicholson in The Shining) - WiFi is still a day to day nightmare. Some days it will connect to a WiFi router at home or office and hold; sometimes, like yesterday, it drops the office WiFi router about every 10-15 minutes (the router is outside my office door, about 20...

No sightings in the wild here (Midland's not that big) nor in Dallas or Austin on business trips.
