I'm sure companies have similar contests only open to the UK as well. Heck, some contests exclude specific states here in the US. There are laws in different places that make things complicated for the company holding the contest

32GB might be enough, depends on what you will use it for. I have a 50GB dropbox, 40GB of which is being used, synced to my microsd so I opted for the 128. the extrreme pros and other types might be a waste of money as well. Microsd slots in the sp3 and most other tablets run on usb 2.0, with...

i'll pick it up when its $129 or less. its a nice accessory but i feel its little more than a pretty usb hub.

Nothing like what you see for USB devices will charge the SP3. Your only option that I am aware of is a UPS. Something like this http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=A7015618&ST=pla&dgc=ST&cid=262075&lid=4742361&acd=1230980794501410 according to the...

Dont forget some BT headphones, BT mouse, 128GB microsd ;) I picked up some Plantronics Backbeat Go 2's with charging case @ BestBuy for $72 (after price match to tiger direct). Work great with the SP3.

devcon has many versions, the one you linked cannot be run on windows 8.1 for some reason. it was the first one i tried. the version I found to work is 5.2.3790.1830

enable.bat is devcon enable HID_DEVICE_UP:000D_U:0005 disable.bat is devcon disable HID_DEVICE_UP:000D_U:0005 the text in red was my hardware ID for the touchpad, which can be found in device manager. I assumed it would be the same for all surface pro 3's but you can check for yourself. It...

Here's something very simple to get you started. It is possible not all surface pro 3's will be set up the same (but my assumption is they are), so maybe someone can let me know if it works for them? Make sure the three files remain together in a folder. Open 'enable' to enable the touchpad and...

Just FYI, Your barcode is still scannable. To block out barcodes. you need to disguise/remove some of the vertical bars.

There's one way, it may be more involved than you like. You can write a batch file to disable the device (or toggle the device). This requires devcon, google will be good in explaining this further. I did this with some of my tablets for disabling the touchscreen so I could toggle pen-only...

I havent done an accurate measurement but can say without a doubt that it is over 7 (Used it somewhere between 6.5-7.5hrs) hours with bluetooth streaming music from spotify and a bit over 50% screen brightness. I didnt check the percentage after my use but it was close to the bottom. Probably...

You shouldn't feel that the SP2 is 'old'. If you'll typically be using it docked or rarely taking notes or using in portrait mode, it would be the way to go in my opinion. I say this because of the price and because the i5 pro2/pro3 are more or less the same devices placed in different shells...

I can't not recommend the Sp3. The device is just so slim and aesthetic and the screen is so nice to write on (mainly due to form factor). As of now the sSP2 seems to be the better performer due to throttling, but both do throttle, just less so on the SP2. I'd expect there will be updates for...

You can create a shortcut that will put it into hibernation. Should fix your problems, 0% loss after about 36 hours. See http://www.thetechchat.com/2014/07/14/surface-pro-3-tip-how-to-hibernate-and-keep-instantgo/ I pinned it to my start menu.

8GB seems the best for you. I wouldn't want a 4GB machine as my main computer, not to say it isn't possible. Heck, I'm finding that 16GB is too small for my desktop needs but I'm kind of a slob with my tabs and leaving things open for days; my i3 SP3 was purchased strictly for work. Even if 4GB...

No need for a dedicated GPU. The HD5000 series for broadwell (5300, 5400, etrc) will outperform the Iris Pro (HD5200) which already performs on par with the GT650m and better than the 840m dedicated mobile GPUs. If the Surface Pro generations continue, they will only get thinner and lighter and...

i bet you could :rolleyes:

any surface pro is a bad choice for real computing. i wouldnt be worried about the difference the throttled state makes, as both would be lousy. a desktop i3 stomps the i7 model sp3.

No. What I did was purchase the keyboard with it, and gave the guy both coupons so he wouldn't be immediately suspicious. He did notice both discounts were automatically applied to the surface and just exclaimed 'holy s*%&'. But I intend to return the keyboard cover I purchased and rebuy with a...

In on this! Picked up the i3 version for $585 today with edu discount and movers coupon.
