    Surface screen somewhat yellow!!

    Same thing with mine. Had two now with the same issue. Have you changed the display settings to reduce the red and green/blue balance? That solved the yellow issue but created random flickering of the device.

    Surface book 2 screen flicker

    I bought a new surface book 2 around 6 weeks ago and the colour was too warm/yellow . I changed the display settings so there was less red and blue and the screen would intermittently flicker. I returned it . Got a brand new one from somewhere else. Same thing in that the screen is way too...

    Increasing two finger scroll speed in Chrome

    On my SP3 the scroll was much faster in Chrome. I have tried increasing number of lines within mouse settings, but nothing changes. Am I looking at the wrong page?

    Upgrade from SP3 i5 8GB 256GB?

    I have the SP3 i5, 8GB, 256GB and Amazon have the new Pro i5, 8GB, 128GB plus keyboard for 750GBP. I use it for browsing mainly, but like to take it away for travels etc. Only issues with this one are battery life and the fact battery drains whilst in sleep mode (or even off). Does the new...

    New 'lappable keyboard' Brydge

    Brydge lets you type on the Surface Pro 4 in style - Page 3 Looks very interesting. As my hinge isn't working that great this could be a good alternative.

    Broken Kickstand

    @kayzee , good idea. I will have a look. @jnjroach I've had a look and can't find any that deliver over here. MS will not be getting that amount for a replacement though. This is already a replacement and has lasted 4 months. I'll wait for the SP5 before stumping up any huge amounts on the...

    Broken Kickstand

    Sad times. The black connector on one side of the kickstand came loose today and came out of the socket. One side is fine, but the other needs fixing or replacing. I'm out of warranty, but wondering if there was any advice on what to do? It's pretty useless without use of the kickstand :/

    Surface Pro 3 and Chrome battery life improvement

    Since the release of Chrome's new update I have found that the battery lasts a lot longer on my SP3. Battery says 8 hours and 25 minutes remaining so far (25% brightness) and I have had Chrome open for an hour. Good news :D

    Surface Pro 3 battery life??

    Yes there are a few threads about it. You may have a Simplo battery and MS is aware of the issue and will provide a software fix which will hopefully fix it :)

    New Owner. A Mistake?

    Yeah go and exchange it and see what happens. Sounds like some weird issues. The chrome commands can be found with google search.

    New Owner. A Mistake?

    The one thing you mention which is a problem for me is the Windows store. It sucks bad. Twitter and Facebook are crap. The rest of the things you list are too small for me to worry about when it does so much else so well or it sounds like your machine needs a refresh/exchange.

    Battery Wearing for a year

    I had a Macbook for 3 years constantly plugged in at work and when I took it home, the battery worked the entire time and never degraded.

    Battery Wearing for a year

    I'd keep a constant check if you are within warranty. Mine started going gradually down and lots of others too. This is a terrible issue and MS should be doing more about it.

    Just smashed corner of screen - and it needed repairing already - what can I do?

    Oh... they are sending my original one back.... :( Annoyed at two things - they said they would send a replacement if they found the battery problem was independent of the break (so something has gone wrong in their checking process). And secondly, they never offered me the option to pay the...
