D'oh! Misread >< Sorry about that. I'd take the Surface and cable to your retailer and ask them to help you verify functionality. if the port works with another monitor and your surface/cable, it's your monitor. If it doesn't, exchange. Any under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you allow them to...

Does it have to be an active DVI-D adapter? I know back in the days when I played with Eyefinity, it had to be active to get the mini display port on my 7950s to display to the third monitor...

I'm waiting for the performance comparisons. It means shelling out an extra 2 grand, but my wife has been eyeballing my SP3 since I got it. She actually refuses to touch it because she's afraid she won't be able to go back to her SP2.

No, but if you think it'll help, I'll try anything at this point. Now my 2.5 Ghz band is only getting 72Mbps max. I'm not sure if it's related, but my Netflix app is now running like complete garbage. It loads semi slow, gets a picture, immediately tries to buffer, and stalls out. If I go...

This sounds like something with your cleaning cloth. The whole POINT of microfiber is that it is not made of any material that will scratch glass and plastic. I say this not because I've been using micro fiber cloths to clean my screens for decades, but because I've used them to clean my...

I don't know what it was before, but I'm getting about 16.5 down on my SP3. Desktop right next to me, 30. update 1: I reset it again, and now I have "Wi-fi doesn't have a valid IP configuration" and "limited" wifi status. How nice for me :) If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go bang on the sky...

Ahhh, I guess it doesn't matter the brand, Apple or MS. . there are those that just MUST ingest the kool-aid. FWIW, Google is an amazing company with amazing products and services. They don't do any more or less with your information, they're just more transparent about it. That said, I...

The risk is as close to zero as you can possibly get. There is an INFINCECIMALLY small chance of O/S corruption, but typically thats on older SSDs. Undervolting CANNOT damage components. The worst case scenario is that the system hangs or crashes and you have to restart. The ABSOLUTE worst...

Yea, I had that issue on our SP2 as well, it was frustrating as heck. The same SD card resides in my SP3, and *SO FAR* full restore has resolved the issue [knock on wood, it's only been about 36 hours] Personally, I blame Realtek. They used to be really good about driver support/updates, but...

Never trust ANY 5 star reviews or 1 star reviews. :P Also, love to see reviews on this pen when y'all get em' in.

I must've missed this one, do you have a link? I haven't had this issue since I reset my SP3, but I'd love to know how to do this myself ^^

Wow. .I never would've pegged electromagnetic interference! Nice find ^^

It's called "ultra high resolution screen". You have to have GPU power to push those pixels. I also believe they configured it a lot more conservatively to allay concerns about heat and fan noise [nobody wanted either, so the answer was to conservatively set power management]

In all fairness, the SP2 issue specifically related to micro SD + realtek audio drivers. Removing the SD card would resolve the issue. This has also been happening to me on my SP3. Removing the SD card hasn't fixed it, removing the type cover and restarting kinda has. I've been having a lot...

Deleted, Explorer fail.

4096/4096. Sorry for the delay, it's been a long week

Home networking is where it really shines. It's also worth upgrading to if you have a 10+ year old router. Of course, I'm a tech addict, so grain of salt here :)

Honestly, I don't understand all the love for win7. Win 8 removed the abolute WORST part of the windows O/S since FOREVER [the start menu] and replaced it with something that DIDN'T keep closing everytime I moused over it in any way it didn't like on any given day of the week. Maybe I'm just...

Yea, undervolting is a lot like overclocking in that it's a bit of a crapshoot. Some chips bin better than others and can do a lot more with a lot less. In THIS case, howerver, given the demanding power/performance/wattage scenario of the SP3, I'd like to THINK that they're using top binned...

I know this isn't entirely helpful, but my SP3 does not have this problem. When I connect to my external and boot up, it defaults to the external.
