    Steam VR

    I may try it tonight and will post results. I'm thinking about downloading Revive so I can access my Oculus games through MR.

    Nvidia drivers

    Actually I just opened it yesterday. I was waiting for the 15" non wet screen protector to arrive. I applied that and my Skinomi skins without even turning on the system. Lucky for me everything looks great! The only issue I had was getting the Fall Creator update to install. I had to...

    Nvidia drivers

    Okay, sweet! I still haven't opened my SB2 because I'm waiting for my screen protector to arrive. I actually got another one from Skinomi which has the skins and wet apply screen protector but I am nervous about applying it. Regarding Mixed Reality, I think I read somewhere that the system...

    Nvidia drivers

    I'm not familiar with that app. I usually download the nvidia geforce experience app that automatically downloads the latest drivers for the 1060 graphics card. I was just wondering if I can still let Nvidia update the card or do I have to rely on Microsoft to update it? Also, do the Mixed...

    Nvidia drivers

    I haven't set up my SB2 yet but wondering if I need to wait for MS to update the graphics drivers (usually 2-3 times during the life of the device) or can I use the GForce experience app?

    USB-C charging?

    First, thank you for responding! I think I'll try the Apple adapter just as a 2nd charger. I like how compact it is. I also purchased the MoKo HDMI and usb adapter on Amazon. I'll see if that works for connecting to a TV and passing data at the same time. I think it will work fine.

    USB-C charging?

    Does anyone know if this works well to charge the SB2 15"? Apple 87W USB-C Power

    Steam VR

    Can anyone tell me if the latest Steam VR update will work well with the 15 inch SB2? I currently have an Alienware R3 13 with the Oculus but find the set up kind of clunky due to the sensors. The mixed reality setup on the SB2 seems more streamlined which is appealing to me.

    Idea on battery life I should get?

    I booted back up at home and down to 85% after over an hour. The time left seems to fluctuate. I saw it go up as high as 12 hours and now it shows 4 hours and 52 minutes. Maybe its not as bad as I originally thought. On a side note, I was trying to use DirectTv Now on Edge and got a message...

    Idea on battery life I should get?

    I'm using Edge right now and that is all that I have open... I went from 100% to 92% in 30 minutes and showing 1 hour and 46 minutes remaining. Brightness is at 15%

    Idea on battery life I should get?

    The only thing I can think that I did differently is that I followed instructions somewhere on this forum to get the high power mode unlocked, however I always keep it on balanced. Maybe by changing the power options caused more battery to be used up? Is there a way to reset the power options...

    Idea on battery life I should get?

    Using OneNote, taking notes. Brightness on at about 20-30%, power on balanced mode, some regular web browsing gets me about 4.5 hours before dying. It was purchased brand new back in January. I haven't received the latest up date to Windows so maybe it gets better?

    Idea on battery life I should get?

    Could someone post their normal battery life for their SP4 Core i7 model? I'm trying to determine if my battery life is normal or not.

    Update to Graphic drivers?

    Is Microsoft planning on updating the Intel 540 iris graphics anytime soon? I think the last update was early last Summer.

    Thanks! That makes sense!

    Graphic Drivers

    I am curious why the SP4 doesn't match the latest drivers on Intel's website? Also I can't seem to find the Intel Control Panel on the current SP4 with the latest updates installed.

    Is it okay to buy now?

    I'm hoping someone can confirm something for me. Apparently the brand new SP4 I bought on eBay is serviced through Dell. I registered it with Dell and waiting for their response which takes 7-10 business days. In the meantime I took it to the MS Store to purchase MS Complete. They verified...

    Is it okay to buy now?

    I received my new SP4 Core i7 model. I'm going through the updates right now and everything seems fine, except initially I was worried why my machine was shutting off right when trying to set it up for the first time. I think it was the battery because it was around 1% charged at that moment...

    Is it okay to buy now?

    I picked up a brand new core i7 version for $1300. I think that is a good deal. I should get it next week. I'm sure they'll release a new one next month but I'm sure this version will be more powerful than the new upcoming base version, or maybe not. That's okay, because I'm hoping I'll see...

    Is it okay to buy now?

    Great responses from everyone! It seems it is about a 50/50 verdict. I really don't need it right now, but I want it for work primarily so I can use it as a notepad and just write my notes in One Note versus scratching down stuff in a pad and forgetting to go back to what I wrote. I want my...
