I had a pop sound from one of my SP2s from cold boot and sometimes from sleep. I ignored it and eventually exchanged it with Microsoft.

I didn't have the issue until this latest update. I turned connected standby off and that seemed to fix it but now I'm without connected standby.

lol Microsoft is complete garbage. Update windows = murder your battery life every time. Edit: appears that after updating, the CPU is fixed at 2.47Ghz and even in low power and battery saving mode, and with *no* programs running the CPU is not down cycling. Garbage.

Oh yeah I noticed that too sometimes. Not sure who let them ship with that.

If you send me a free copy of vmware workstation I promise I'll keep my opinions about the surface to myself for the rest of the year ;)

I was curious because I don't know what "MVP, MCLC, MCT" means, and you're in Seattle :) But yeah since the AU update my surface has been decent so I don't want to mess anything up, particularly battery, since I can only get about 6 hours total out of it anyway on W10 which is terrible IMO.

I like the colour on this guy. Generally I like the SP4 covers better than the SP3. If the finger cover works with the SP3 then people with that device should buy it.

You sure you read the same thread I linked to? Out of the 5 issues people posted in the thread only 1 of them was from the AU update, the rest were all from this one: > Sleep of Death is back on my Surface Book. It was perfect for over two months, and today, it just didn't wake up. and >...

Reditr reddit says this update is a total disaster and to basically avoid it.

to microsofts credit its happened less on my sp4 but it still happens sometimes. The annoying cases related to sleep are: 1. sleep panics which crash the kernel and cause the device to reboot in sleep 2. put the device to sleep and it continues to use a high level of CPU usage sometimes with...

windows is so crap that I always just power down my device when im done using it this has been a bug ever since the surface pro 1. It has gotten better and more rare but will never be fixed IMO.

now that W10 has bash (this is really freaking cool) I was wondering if anyone managed to get 256 color mode working? I tried xming and xterm but get some sort of error about dsub not existing. I don't have time to investigate further now but I'm impressed that bash is working as well as it is.

something must be wrong because I installed the update and everything's working fine

It would be great if they just went the thinner/battery route, although they seem to have gone larger/worse battery since the SP2! I have a Nexus 9 and I've been using it more and more. They're definitely more for the dollar than an iPad. I chose to go the iPad route though because I like the...

Yeah. If I buy another windows tablet in the future I think I might buy a worse spec'd something that's thinner, has a lot of battery. Portability over performance for me.

some advice: if you're buying a more expensive card, I'd buy one with warranty also. I've had bad luck with a lot of my SD cards failing, especially ones manufactured in China.

It was probably a stupid decision. The iPad will be almost as much money as my Sp4 was because of how overpriced apple products are in general. I can't believe I'm going to be one of *those* people who actually own a product called the "Apple pencil" and that I willingly paid $130 for this...

if it kills my surface's battery even more like windows 10 did then they can delay it to 2028 for all I care.

Wow I don't know if I want to gamble on updating after seeing some problems people have had after doing it. Urgh.

how safe is it to get this update?
