Pardon my shortness as I'm on my phone - but you can always connect to LTE / 4G using your phones internet. I use my SP4 around the house constantly - I barely fire up my desktop anymore. Tough call, but another blah blah tablet vs. a beast of a Windows 10 tablet. Easy call for me. Let us know...

I'm located in Germany - my experience has been that I've been able to connect to most routers on the 5GHz setting - however, you are correct in changing it back to auto when traveling. Good call.

I recommend dropping the extra money on the i7 - I own one and its a beast of a machine. I have used mine to convert large video files and it shreds them without even getting hot. Let us know which way you go..... Thanks

Your English is really good! Anyhow, try this - Change the settings on your Surface Pro's WiFi Network Adapter to 5 GHz only. Once done, even though you don't have too, reboot your SP4. Then reconnect to your network and do a Speed Test. Keep in mind there are many variables when using Speed...

I use Samsung EVO Pro's in all of my devices, ranging from 16GB- 128GB . The reason I use Samsung is.... The Samsung MicroSD cards are built for punishment in the Samsung Line of Phones. I have used other MicroSD cards without issues, but I have had friends who have lost tons of data by using a...

Based on my own experience(s) - running out and paying full price for my Surface Pro 4 WAS worth it. However, if I had to do it all over again, I would wait. Who knows, the Surface Pro 5 could end up catching fire (heaven forbid) and there could be other issues to hammer out as with any new...

I have had to use a 1ByOne external keyboard for issues such as this. Its the same size, complete with touch-pad and all the bells and whistles. I also use this keyboard with my Samsung S7 Edge. It pairs up without issue to my Surface Pro 4 and reconnects without any hassle. I get about 16...

Mine shipped with a Model 1625 Charging Supply (*See Specs below) and I have ran a boatload of games and software without the battery draining. Mine seems to be able to keep up with maintaining the battery charge and running my Surface Pro 4, i7, 256 without issues. I haven't encountered...

If ALL ELSE Fails - You can always Un-install / Re-install. We all love our Windows, but yet it still sometimes needs a little push. I know how frustrating it can be. Here are some helpful links provided by Microsoft. I hope this helps. Please let us know how it works out for you / what you did...

No kidding on the pen sizes. I have been able to keep a decent pen tip on mine for almost a year, but the second I drop it - game over. I haven't had any pen issues. Have you tried a new battery, or perhaps installing the Surface Pro 4 Drivers? I have found that doing this often times clears up...

If you have taken a look around the forums here - you will see that the Surface Pro 4 has had it's share of issues. I myself recently had an issue (Screen Flickering) - but got a replacement within a few days. With that said - if you wait on the Surface Pro 5 - who know's what type of issues it...

I agree with the other statements in regards to your RAM and fans. Checking your Task Manager for anything hogging up resources should tell you what (if anything) is the culprit. If the Task Manager doesn't render any defining results, I'd definitely do a reset after backing your files up. Your...

Wow - $420 - (Great number indeed) and a great price. Welcome to the Surface Pro 4 club. Over the last 1.5 years, my machine (i7, 256, 8gb) has performed flawlessly until about two weeks ago - but Microsoft hooked me right up. I have to say their support is pretty phenomenal. So again - welcome...

I am dying to know - did this happen to clear up your WiFi issues? Not trying to be a pest - just curious. Thanks in advance for any response you might throw our way.

This isn't pie in your face at all - but Google Chrome works flawlessly on my Surface Pro 4. I do have 8 Gbs of RAM and from my experience Google Chrome sometimes uses a lot of RAM. I also reccomend using the 64-Bit version of Chrome if you aren't already. (Chrome for Desktop) Another thing you...

So I decided to put my pen to the test since I just got a refurbished Surface Pro 4. It has Windows Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.969) all updated etc. I opened Microsoft Word and went to town with the pen. Initially the pen did skip intermittently, so I kept on drawing / spelling out letters...

Well it worked - I sent off my faulty Surface Pro 4 and less than a week later - I have either what appears to be a brand new one, or a very well refurbished one. I have seen refurbished ones and when a machine does not glue / compress the screen into the body, you get a wavy appearance along...

Obviously it's two years for the German Microsoft, (and the Germans). I would say on a $2000 product, two years seems about fair. I sure am happy about it, and thankful its in place. Microsoft had no problems telling me it was past its warranty coverage date when I called, but they had to...

I was having the same issues with my SP4 - I changed the frequency to 5 GHz Only - rebooted and the issues haven't happened since. I did, upon installing VPN software, have a few issues, but I was able to resolve this within the VPN Software.

I have had this very issue with slower PC's in the past. Although the update screen states - "do not turn off the PC" - if its stuck what I will do is Hold the POWER button down until it powers completely off, then power it back on. Once in Windows, I head over to the reboot button and usually...
