    Terrible Build quality II: magnesium alloy body

    While the surface is a nice device, i'm debating on doing what I did to my iphone ( see image ), wrap it with " Carbon Fiber ", it doesn't increase weight very much, and the thickness is hardly noticeable. It's very nice on my phone. you'll notice a bulge on the back of my phone, this is by...

    Surface Book design problem?

    Again, my apologies for the correction, it wasn't intended to make you angry, no reason to think it would. However, back to moving ON topic, no, what you have shown doesn't seem to be a widespread issue. I'm looking at mine now, and it aligns as it should. As others have pointed out in this...

    Set up Surface 3 with windows 10 pro edition

    I too used to think that the pro version was useless, until I needed access to my companies VPN , PAC, and Proxy server, windows 10 home just doesn't give you what you need! good luck with the install!

    Duplicate/ghost touch press

    Hey Nuttyone! I know this sounds silly, and likely down right stupid, but can you ensure that your palm isn't resting on the edge of the device, and the tip of your thumb touching the screen up top, this happens quite frequently if you are not paying attention. If you can confirm it's 100%...

    Surface Book design problem?

    Sorry mike, wasn't trying to be a troll, on the contrary actually, i'm quite helpful, and contribute to assisting more often than not. I simply made a correction to a mistake that was made, I apologize your fellow forum users were unable to accept that. Typically when mistakes are made, the...

    Surface Book design problem?

    Are you kidding me? He was speaking in terms of UNITED STATES DOLLARS. Even if he was in BFE Vietnam, you can't list US currency, and not properly punctuate it. So the location is really a moot point.

    Surface Book design problem?

    Most of my grade school was done IN NZ, and part of UNI was in NZ. We've never, ever, ever, once been taught to use a period in place of a comma. Maybe In india, I think they might, but your reply is futile, as you are wrong.

    Surface Book design problem?

    What part of EU specifically? If that's the case, someone should really tell apple that :( iMac And microsoft http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msuk/en_GB/pdp/productID.332604800?icid=en_GB_cat_modG_SurfaceBk_010516 Both of those major companies seem to use the comma, and periods as they...

    Surface Book design problem?

    $2,700 * not $2.700 a period when discussing cash implies this is only 2 dollars and 70 cents. Which is obviously not correct.

    High/strange CPU idle clock frequency

    No one can confirm this, as no OS is the same, installed files / apps / games, etc can control this. The only way to ensure that you're always below 1Ghz is to manually set the CPU frequency, I do, and if i need to use more, I just change the power profile.

    Surface Pro 4 I5 4gb Throttle Results

    While I respect your idea on the matter, you have to at the very least come to the conclusion that the device can game. This thing gets better frame rates than my macbook pro retina with a 750M with 2GB dedicated ram for graphics... it's a shame really, because the tablet CAN play some games...

    What should I expect?

    Your logic is not flawed Bobtech, consider yourself awesome now. This is exactly right, all of it. Microsoft doesn't include the same open ended options because they have the engineering ability to not need to, and they did. If you got a device that doesn't, it's just defective, plain and...

    Surface Pro 4 I5 4gb Throttle Results

    That's because of good engineering, I assure you it's came on, likely more times than you think. In fact, the people that keep saying " my fan never comes on " , are just happy idiots as well :) The fan is on way more than you would imagine, you just can't hear it, because it doesn't take much...

    High/strange CPU idle clock frequency

    turn off windows defender, see if that helps any. It's likely indexing your files, and scanning in the background. This in addition to what the others have said. Windows Defender has proved useless for me, i'll scan it once in a while when I feel it needed.

    What should I expect?

    It did let him know, the fact no fan comes on and it's hot to the touch, indicates a problem. you're assistance after a resolve is a bit moot.

    What should I expect?

    Lets try this, if you don't mind. Open Chrome, and Edge, and your drop box account, then right click the task bar, and open inormation that shows you the resource usage. Then go ahead and take a screen shot of the image that shows you the avialable resources and post it here ( not the running...

    Downloader App with InstantGo (Connected Standby) feature

    Sorry to chime in here, but when you sleep, do you also drive a car ? No, why would you expect the device to actually do any work while asleep, sorry, any meaningful sleep. go into settings, and " tell microsoft what to do when you close the lid ", select " turn off the screen ", you'll still...

    What should I expect?

    Again, i'm generally just an ass, but I don't mean to be, if it's to hot or you to hold, then your judgement should be telling you something is wrong, which , it did. As for the fan, if it's that hot, and no fan, then the device needs to be services, or returned. As far as I know, no service...
