I hope I'm in a vastly smaller minority than the SP3 issues, but it looks like the dreaded "slow WiFi" bug has tracked me down. When I move from my office [where my router is situated] to the back of the house the WiFi signal speed goes down [totally understandable] and then seems to get...

Well, judging by the answer, it sounds like it's not just me that "full screen" is broken for. I know it's possible to mimic it by minimizing the taskbar, that's a real pain to have to hide/unhide with every use. No, leaving it auto-hid really isn't an option. Call it OCD, but it drives me...

Just out of curiosity, am I the only one that has an issue with this only performing "full windowed" mode? No matter what I do, I still get stuck with the taskbar ala old OS X...

FWIW, I have used both a 27" 2560 x 1440 Apple Cinema Display, AS WELL AS a Dell 2560 x 1080 [21:9 aspect ratio] WITH A DisplayPort to Mini Display Port cable. I haven't had a single issue with my SP3 dock with either monitor. I certainly HOPE so. . . I feel bad for anyone stuck with...

Take a look at this: http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-10-continuum-mode-hybrid-notebook-tablet-devices-shown-video This isn't the first complaint I've seen about this, is my Sp3 the only machine that, upon install, was DEFAULTED to tablet mode?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. If it's finger scrolling. . it works in windowed mode. If you mean swiping between programs. . well.. I never did that anyway but I always HATED it with notebooks because I was constantly accidentally switching between programs.

As far as the apps, both netflix and plex work flawlessly except for one minor annoyance. It seems the apps do Fullscreen Similar to older versions of OS X: the taskbar remains. The only other weird issue I've had with plex, and I'm not sure if it's the app, the SP3, or my router, is that...

Installed on primary partition. Upgrade install went off without a hitch. My only disappointment is that the SP3 still has the separate modernUI, whereas my desktop has the start menu. For the record, I've hated the start menu since it's inception, but the live tiles make it a completely...

Or you could just plug it in via cable. Ok, not as much fun as bluetooth, but just about as fast. PS: I can't vouch for anyone else, but since the last update my bluetooth is FINALLY rock solid. prior, my Bluetooth headset would constantly connect/disconnect, hasn't done it ONCE since that...

"The Initial videos are showing the reintroduction of the absolute WORST FEATURE OF WINDOWS EVER: the start menu" Fixed that for you. /click windows button, try to click programs, menu closes. Click windows button, make it to programs, mouse drifts off what you wanted to click on at last...

Win 8 key resides in the BIOS, so worst case scenario you'd have to download a windows 8.1 .iso and do a full format reinstall. What do you mean you don't have an external DVD drive?? They're like $20 >.> Just snagged a 512 Gig SSD from newegg for $190, so I have 2 spare 240 gig SSDs...

.MS may play with the verbage, but they essentially do the same thing, just related to different criteria. What it DOES is cause your machine to constantly scan and reorganize their respective drive contents. Because disk read/write kicks up periodically, and disk access generates an unusually...

incorrect. Indexing and windows search are two different things. indexing simply pre caches files and applications Windows thinks you MAY use in order to speed up access times, which is beyond useless on any modern SSD. At most, it will delay search results by one or two seconds. Disabling...

I can see this with a platter HDD as potential fragmentation could increase seek times. I can't see this with an SSD. Even if it did cause increased reads, the power drain from SSD access times is so minimal you'd most likely be talking minutes or seconds.

Yes. . and no. My GTX 780ti was $725, but that's top of the line. You can go with a 76o or amd 270-290 series and be between $125 and $350ish give or take. This was my point exactly: Either the i5 is so at the ragged edge there's no way the i7 can outperform it with the cooling solution...

Simple problem, simple answer: Plug in headphones. Go into playback devices, make the headphones the default device. When you unplug them it will default to onboard speakers. When you plug them in it will automatically switch them over to the headphones. Personally, I'd feel like I bought...

Anandtech has done a review of the i7 Surface pro 3 vs the i5 surface pro 2??? Please link, I'd LOVE to see it! I'd like to see if they're on par with performance [as I suspect] or if the i7 manages to beat the SP2 i5.

I did not know this. Thank you : )

This is weird, it seems when UV, any time the PC sleeps, it winds up rebooting. Any ideas? You have other problems here. Mine doesn't get that hot running hearthstone. I'd start by seeing if you something ramping up your CPU: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323527 I'd also disable indexing...

If you have another device, you can always setup something like connectify and share connection to get around it[and avoid mobile data]. Not entirely ideal, and less elegant than a direct connection, but it'll keep you going. www.connectify.com [Free version is available]
