I ordered some small neodymium disk magnets to maybe get a more stable pen mounting place. Agree. Even the new baytrail quads are adequate for most things, and the i3 is of course noticeably faster than them. I wouldn't have complained if it had a slightly higher clock rate given it does not...

it is less powerful, but slower needs to be quantified. for browsing and office stuff the real-world difference is small. and im comparing my i5/ssd/16gb gaming desktop to my i3 sp3. the i3 will easily handle ps one and probably ps2 emulation. since the roms are so large, though, the 64gb would...

Something went terribly wrong with my battery test. I dont know if it was the graphics settings I was fooling with (I also installed intel's HD control panel) but it was using about 5-6 milliamps on average (even in airplane mode) compared to the ~4.5 it was hovering at previously (with wifi and...

After I finish with the battery test, I will take a look. I am unable to run a 1080p youtube video smoothly with GPU max battery applied and min proc frequency. I will to see what differences there are, if any, should I change it to max performance

I am conducting a battery trial at the moment. I will upload it and a complete log when I am finished. It may take a day or so, but I am logging my activities during the trial including exact times of sleep/wake should that happen. I am running at min frequency, I think 25% screen brightness and...

Are you asking me? If so, I didn't but will be doing so in the future. To change GPU to max battery, type powercfg -query In the long list of junk, look for Intel HD Graphics and record the subgroup GUID (#1) and power management GUID (#2). Now type powercfg -setdcvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT...

I have mine (i3) set to run at 570mhz /20% screen brightness on battery and 1.5ghz, 90% screen when plugged in. I think I have experienced a record battery life for me the last 2 days. I dont know for sure, but definitely over 10 hours, maybe over 11. Is there a program to keep track of the time...

I don't notice it. What's it supposed to look like? I have been using it on 100% most of the time but today wanted to see how long the battery would last, so I underclocked to 570mhz and set the screen at about 20% and used it on and off all day with no problems. Is it that some people are more...

I can't be certain as I don't know how much of an impact this has on heat, nor how it works along with turboboost. I suppose it may at the very least lessen the effect, possibly remove it if the settings are chosen extreme enough.

I'm guessing you have the i5/i7 version. I dont know anything that will prevent it, but to minimize it you could try undervolting. But there is something more direct you can try by lowering the CPU's frequency. MS removed power settings that allow you to force the CPU to run at lower...

i can tell it offers some convenience (I use a dock as previously stated with my thinkpad and I like it), but I also dont have the needs of some people here. my sp3 was purchased for a different reason than probably most people on these boards. if i were using it as my main computer or regularly...

I get that. I'm complaining about the price, not the accessory. Though I'm wondering why there isnt more functionality included at that price point. I have a dock for my thinkpad tablet. but it offers a lot more than the surface pro's dock does and cost about half as much. The dock will go down...

why would it all go back into your backpack? if we're doing apples to apples, you still need to disconnect the dock, all the cables and put it in all your backpack. i'd rather carry a hub then a bulky dock? after a USB hub is initially set up, there's only three cables to connect to have...

I said I think it is little more than a usb hub. There's only a couple things the dock can accomplish that a $40 usb/ethernet hub cannot. If the charger for the dock was compatible with the surface that would mean something, but it's not.

the floor was heavily carpeted. no salesman in their right mind would drop a device during a live stream onto a solid floor

the other buttons are not bluetooth so it wouldn't be a long-distance kind of thing; so even if you could what would be the point? If you mean customize as the wacom drivers allow you to, I dont believe that is available (yet)

Newegg (US company) had a few contests available to everyone in the US but new york state and rhode island. I know how you feel

yes, just tap down on something and drag it

EventGhost can be configured to launch anything you'd like.

That's awesome. I was only quoting wikipedia which states the effective throughput is 35. The theoretical maximum is exactly 60.
