    IE 11 is hands down the best browser for SP3

    Wow just tried it. The scrolling is really fast and smooth compared to MUI and Chrome. However the loading of pages does feel a bit slower compared to Chrome. That has always been my issue with IE and FF compared to Chrome

    Got a brand new surface pro i5 128g out of the box and the power chord doesn't work

    I find the power chord unsatisfactory considering this is a portable device. The cable on the power chord is very easy to bend and expose the internal cabling. This happened on my original surface pro. I wonder why they didnt reinforce the cable at the point it meets the plug.

    Touchpad vs laptop touchpad

    Track pad on my old macbook pro was unbelievable. Windows laptops don't compare to the mac track pads from what I have seen. Still the lenovo track pad was so much better, which I guess says something about the SP3. I would be more inclined to using a mouse but I often have my SP3 on my lap and...

    Touchpad vs laptop touchpad

    I just used my old laptop for a few minutes (in order to test all was well before selling it) and the touchpad was so much smoother. I didn't realise just how much more fiddly the SP3 touchpad was in comparison. It's only a Lenovo U410 with Intel core i3 but the touchpad was smooth, responsive...

    Poll Which internet browser do you use?

    I'm interested to see which browser you all use when on the net. I flip between IE metro and Chrome quite regularly. I use IE Metro when I have no keyboard attached or when I know I just need to search something quickly, find an image etc. The problem with IE Metro is that you can't do as...

    Using the pen's flick function - does it work?

    Has anyone got this working? I checked a FAQ on MS website and it says you can use the pen to scroll using flicks. I have amended the settings and performed the flick test which confirms I am 'flicking' correctly lol. However when using it in chrome to scroll up or down I simply get an image...

    The stand

    Anyone else worried about opening and closing the stand too often? I have a feeling it will become loose and not be as sturdy after a while (as some old laptop screens used to do). Does anyone else have this concern? It makes me not want to move it as often.

    Surface Pro 3 Cover Trackpad

    Oh I find the cursor movement when clicking a link very frustrating as well. Why does it do that?

    Surface Pro 3 i5/128GB/4GB RAM for $770 - Good Deal?

    I thought I had a good deal. That works out to be a cracker. Even if you didn't like it you'd get your money back by selling it second hand. Seems like you have nothing to lose.

    Type Cover mouse pad randomly stops working?

    I am typing through my type cover right now, but this is the second time the mouse cursor and trackpad have just disappeared and/or stopped working. Faulty type cover or is this to be expected?

    Connecting SP3 to 4K TV

    Thanks. I looked on ms website and it says it doesn't support up to 4k. Is that a mistake? Only cable I can see that does is a moshi one which is hard to find in NZ :(

    Connecting SP3 to 4K TV

    I'm having trouble connecting my new SP3 to my 4K TV. I have a Mini Display Port cable and when I connect it to my Sony 4K TV, it does show the available resolutions (with the 4k option). However when I select it, the screen goes black so I quickly revert back. My refresh rate is set...

    Surface Pro 4k?

    Just been chatting to a MS tech who quoted this: As I have checked my resources here, the maximum resolution that the Surface Pro will output at 60Hz is 3200x2000
