Is this potentially a defect, given that this is the first time it has happened? What have other users reported?

Hi there, Has anyone experienced any paint chipping from their charger ports on their SP3? I know this was a big issue with the SP2.

Hi there, No, other than it is fairly warm being summer here in Australia. I had it inside a leather folio case which covers the back, but does not obstruct the air vents around the side.

Hi All, I was recently installing media centre for Win 8.1. on my new SP3 (256/i5/8GB) and had the overheat thermometer appear. The device was fairly warm, and the fans where running (and always seem to be) at full blast. This is the first time it has occurred. I am wondering, does this cause...

Having just purchased a SP3, I am wondering if anyone can recommend a case for the SP3. I like the silicon ones (such as the Incipio Feather) but are wondering if anyone can please enlighten me about this case or others?

Hi All, Does the SP3 suffer paint chips like the SP2 did (especially around the power port)? How durable is the paint finish, and what have been peoples experiences thus far?

Hi there, Just thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Tim, and I am an IT professional here on the Gold Coast in Australia. I decided to purchase a SP3 yesterday (early Christmas present) :) and believe it to be a brilliant device!

Hi All, I am wondering if anyone has performed the power tweak to unlock performance mode in power settings? Interestingly, when I did it, the device operates much cooler when set to "power saver" as one would expect. I also modified this plan so the CPU performance rate is the same as high...

Hi All, I have purchased a surface Pro 3, 256GB i5 and have noticed that under load, the device gets very hot (in the high 70's degrees Celsius). This then means that the back of the device gets fairly warm. Have there been any issues with the device case warping/bending at all due to...
