    connected standby question

    I would expect the SP3 to respond as a desktop PC or Laptop running windows 8.1 would. The SP3 is a Computer with tablet form factor. It is running a full OS. You can set up things to work as you are mentioning, but there would be certain trade off's you would have to evaluate(primarily battery...

    Took my SP3 out of the country last week.

    I have never had one issue with connecting and staying connected to WiFi devices. I use it for travel as well. Only in the states though. I have connected to several Hotel and food/cafe shops with no issues at all.

    Poll Which internet browser do you use?

    I use Chrome Canary in desktop and Metro mode. I love the sync between systems, the integration with my email and calender, and the lovely utility apps that give more usability than IE can provide.

    Question regarding pen sensitivity (SP 2 vs 3)

    Moonsurface, if you have to press really hard in fresh paint, have you tried installing the N-Trig Wintab Drivers? That fixed the issue for me. Without the wintab drivers I had to press REALLY hard for Fresh paint to work. But other apps worked fine. http://www.n-trig.com/Content.aspx?Page=wintab

    i7/512GB order it or not?

    I purchased the i7/256 and have never had an overheating issue. It works perfect for me. I decided to go with the 256 and add a 128GB SD to save $400 to spend on accessories instead :D

    Surface Pro 3 Type Cover + External mouse

    This happened to me once. I just detached and reattached the keyboard and turned the mouse off then on again. It has only happened to me once though. I had just pulled if from my bag to use at work, so there was no monitor connected to it when it happened.

    Better processor and graphics

    I think more research should be put into external Graphics cards. Devices you can plug in when you want to play graphic intensive games, and unplug for portability. Here is something I found a while back that I would like to try...

    Local Best Buy no longer carries I7

    My store showed that the i7's are available online only. When I had searched Best Buy for local stores that have the i7's, my store was said to have it. Turns out they did have 5 of them. They were buried in the back of their cabinets. They did a search on the in store inventory and it showed...

    Poll Yellow streak poll (Model + Lot #)

    I noticed one on mine when I first got it. It does not really stand out too much though. In fact I had forgot about it over the last week and haven't even noticed it.

    Solved Sp3 Pressure Fix - And my thoughts/fixes so far

    Freshpaint just functions terrible with the pen. Other apps with the Wintab drivers installed work flawlessly. The pressure ranges in Photoshop CS6 and Z-Brush are great. I can get extremely light to extremely dense lines. Freshpaint seems to be more of a finger drawing/captive-stylus app. It...

    Note taking on the SP3 is like a dream, but I keep bumping the windows button!

    There isn't the option to disable it when the pen is active on the screen yet?
