    Just picked up new toys...

    I was thinking about getting an Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 10. $699 for the 4GB ram model. Instead, I picked up an i3 version, which I bought with a $100 off coupon, for a total of $699. (I already have an i5 that I'm probably going to return, assuming the i3 performs as I expect it to). Hard to...

    Just got mine: help with PDF and pen

    Did you get the pen to work yet? If not, search this forum. There's a particular Windows Update that you may have to install manually to get it to work, but it would take me as long to find it as it would take you....

    new intel driver

    Will this one be installed by Windows Update, or do you have to uninstall the current driver and install this one manually, like other updates to the graphics driver?

    Broken Screen *ARGH*

    Dang, that sounds pretty fragile though, I must say. But I guess we already knew it was fragile. Makes me wonder even more about its suitability as a laptop replacement, given that these things are often in bags and can't always be treated like a delicate egg.

    Undervolting Boost Performance by 20% reduce heat and noise

    What does it do? Simply not go to sleep? Or does it crash or something?

    Ink not as smooth in OneNote as Journal

    az1787, just out of curiosity, how do you find the quality of the pen on the SP3 to compare to the Vivo Tab Note 8? Is handwriting notes better on one or the other, or is it about the same?

    SP3 is not hibernating

    By the way, can others confirm that, in a sleep study, the maximum connected standby duration should indeed be 4 hours? I just saw that in another thread, someone posted a connected standby duration of over 5 hours.

    Normal Battery Loss during 4:00 hr Connected Standby before auto-hibernate?

    Odd. Well, welcome to the club of connected standby durations greater than 4 hours =P

    SP3 is not hibernating

    The registry hack is the same thing has adding the hibernation option via Group Policies Editor--it just goes straight to the registry rather than doing it through Group Policies. And I have now hibernated it that way, and--as expected--it does not actually hibernate. Still waits up by the...

    FYI: "powercfg /batteryreport" to see estimated battery life (in hours)

    Haven't seen much discussion of the "powercfg /batteryreport" command in this forum, which actually gives slightly different information that the "powercfg /sleepstudy" command. Check out the attached screenshot. The batteryreport command will analyze your past usage and spent out some data...

    battery saving plan?

    Haha, true. The SP3 is my first inking experience, and already I cannot see myself without it.

    My Favorite SP3 Feature I did not expect

    Isn't OneNote--even the desktop version--now completely free? http://www.onenote.com/download http://blogs.office.com/2014/03/17/onenote-now-on-mac-free-everywhere-and-service-powered/ http://winsupersite.com/office-2013/its-official-onenote-now-free-everyone Or is there still a paid version...

    My type cover wakes up SP3 when closed. Why?

    A free pen, too. Pretty sweet.

    And even on battery life, it's comparable to the 11.6" air.

    Stop the Distraction - Block all tweaking with XTU

    Do the undervolt settings stick when you kill the XTU app and process? Or does that cause the voltage settings to revert to default? I like the idea of undervolting but I notice that the XTU app and service consumed a consistent 1-2% CPU usage, so I stopped running them.

    SP3 is not hibernating

    By unlock button I meant the actual power button on the side of the SP3. But anyways, I used the Windows button this morning, and sure enough, it turned on and went straight to the login screen, as normal. Definitely was not hibernating. And a sleep study shows 11 hours in connected standby...

    SP3 is not hibernating

    The keyboard usually was not connected, and I did not know the Windows key could unlock it until you told me, so I actually do think I was using the unlock button every time--but because that's the only way I knew to unlock it in tablet mode.

    SP3 is not hibernating

    I'll test and report back in the morning after it has been asleep for 5 hours. However, even after 19 hours, it just goes straight to the login screen after a split second. I understand that when it boots back from hibernation it usually takes several seconds (even 8-10 seconds). So either my...

    SP3 is not hibernating

    Well, by clean install I meant from Win 8.1 Pro installation media, not from the recovery drive. It's possible that MS's default installation somehow includes something wacky to enable it to hibernate--but I doubt that. I'm hoping somebody here can give me an idea. Otherwise, I'll do a...

    SP3 is not hibernating

    When doing a sleepstudy, I noticed my SP3 had been in Connected Standby for 19+ hours. See attached screenshot. I then tried to manually hibernate it using command prompt "shutdown /h." However, when I came back to it a few hours later, it woke right back up as if from connected standby, so I...
