This just happened to me for the first time the other day as well. I would say that it is new since the most recent updates, but it sounds like others have seen the behavior before...

25 votes, all Samsung - it doesn't look like multi-sourcing, it looks like they changed vendors between the evaluation prototypes and the production models. I also checked a few Best Buy demo models and they all had Samsung drives...

Grrr... BSOD while installing the updates. When I was back up and running I got the notice that some updates had failed to install "click on this notice to see why". Click on the notice and it simply brings up the updates window which says that I'm up to date. Go to "view update history" and...

Ah, in rereading your post I see now that you are talking about individual crashes of services and other system processes and I do have a number of those in the log. Originally I thought you were talking about full BSOD crashes or lockups which I've only seen once or twice (and if I recall...

I have a SB and I have had very few crashes. In nearly a month of ownership I can remember maybe 2 crashes. I've had a few cases of something not working after sleep and had to reboot - maybe 5 or 6 of those but they were early on as well. These days my daily experience is a complete lack of...

Thanks!

I installed Chrome first thing I did and don't use anything else. No crashes at all, DD or otherwise...

And, I'd still love to hear if anyone is getting an SB with the Toshiba drive...?

Mine improved slightly to what you see in my posts above over the course of the first week. (Typo in your first line - I'm guessing you have the 512GB, not the 51GB?)

I don't look at the 3k x 2k as real estate, I look at it as crispness so I'm not losing anything with using it for 200% scaling. It's a practical concern as well because I can read smaller text at this resolution than I can on my 17" MBP because the characters are better formed for a given...

There's a solo model case from Waterfield and a solo brand that makes a lot of different 13" cases. Which Solo 13 inch case were you using?

I picked one up the other day, but the display freaks out when using it. I'll get a full-size desktop on the second screen, but the content in the windows will only occupy a portion of the upper left of the wireless screen. Even more distressing, if I play a video on the wireless screen then I...

Also, the Anandtech tests showed both batteries charging at full rate with the 65w PSU, but the base battery had to charge at a slower rate until the clipboard was done charging with the 36w PSU. They tested with an i7 SB with dGPU, but the batteries should be the same as a non-dGPU unit so...

That may be the culprit right there. Game playing may use more power than just the base can supply. There is a reason they give the dGPU versions of the SB a 65 watt PSU rather than the 36 watt version for the non-dGPU version. Hopefully the base battery usage was maxed out and the clipboard...

The Anandtech article has graphs of the charging rates of the two adapters. The 65 watt unit charged the i7 SB much faster mainly due to being able to charge both batteries at full capacity rather than charging battery 1 slowly until it is done with battery 2... The Microsoft Surface Book...

I leave mine asleep overnight and it always wakes from sleep for me. It sometimes has hibernated and it takes more like 30 seconds to wake rather than the fraction of a second it otherwise takes, but that's all. This isn't something that is guaranteed to fail and so it "must have shown up...

Just updated back to the Samsung driver - it was easy, I just went to the controller and clicked update driver and it found the Samsung. That may have been due to the fact that I had downloaded them from Samsung's web site, but perhaps they are the latest drivers available via the standard...

OK, so I finally did the rollback. I used the Device Manager -> storage controller -> properties -> driver -> Rollback method and ended up with a Microsoft branded "Standard NVMe controller" driver dated 2006 version 10.0.10586.0 which I assume are the drivers that came with the recent 10586...

The reason I like it is that I use it to hold sheet music for chorus rehearsals. I tried using a Yoga 3 Pro, but its 16:9 aspect ratio meant that pages were either scaled too thin in portrait mode or not enough of the page was visible in landscape mode. I came from using a Galaxy Note for the...

According to the Anandtech review the SB displays are supposed to be individually calibrated for sRGB. Their tests showed some excellent accuracy with the pre-release model being only slightly less accurate than the one they got later. The Microsoft Surface Book Review
