how can i access this auxiliary speaker? i don't see any options within the sound menu for that. any help would be great. thanks!

Hello Just a minor issue I've been having since purchasing this SP3, but whenever I plug in any type of audio device (headphones or bluetooth speakers) on my SP3, the speakers on my SP3 NEVER mutes and plays through both the speakers AND the audio device. It has been pretty annoying having to...

Hi, I also just got a 28" Samsung UHD 4K monitor. When I used the cheap HDMI to Mini DP cable I had lying around, it would project at 2560x1440 (dual screen with SP3 works), but with green pixels running around. But when I tried to project at the maximum 3840x2160 (single screen), the whole...

This is a device driver problem. I had a similar problem with one of my external hard drives. Googled and found that many people were having problems with similar issues on specific devices. I would Google online and look for an updated firmware of device driver for the product. Once I updated...

Hi, I have a FreedomCase I purchased before the SP3 came out. Once the SP3 came out, it literally became useless, but couldn't cancel my order since it was a Kickstarter. It was a brilliant idea... until the SP3 came out. If you're interested, hit me up. http://www.freedomcase.com/

I completely agree. I get that they want to go advertise their product against the market leader, but you can't really compare the SP3 with the MBA if you're not even willing to include a keyboard into the deal. Even if they have to raise the price to include both, they should just have the...

My SP3 will just freeze on me while I'm working. It has happened about five or six times now and it has been frustrating. I have to reboot the computer by holding the power button for a few seconds, but will lose my work in the process...

I was getting similar results as you. One concern I had was that the SP3 shut down on me and was making crackling noises until I rebooted it. After about a week, I decided to send it back for a new one. I'm now consistently showing about 5:44 on Battery Bar and getting a bit more time depending...

Best Buy is having a Black Friday in July sale and one of their sales is for a Surface Pro and Pro 2 Docking Station for $99. Would have picked it up if it was for an SP3 but nonetheless a great deal! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/microso...lets/2266225.p?id=1219071226532&skuId=2266225

Issues are gradually being resolved so I doubt it really makes a different when you purchase at this point. I'd just jump on picking one up!

Ever since installing beta, I feel like it takes much longer for pages to load and they sometimes crash on me. A bit frustrated and not sure whether I should go back to the most recent stable release... The browsers looks MUCH better though. Scaling is great and you can actually close tabs with...

Hey everyone, I also recommend a program called PDF Annotator. Before Drawboard, this was my go-to program to edit PDFs. As a graduate student, I literally read hundreds of articles a year. PDF Annotator and Drawboard has helped me to stop printing everything. I love Drawboard because you're...

My numbers are horrid... I ran the battery report and my estimated battery life since OS install is under 5 hours... That's pretty bad, right? My fan is basically ALWAYS running and I barely run any apps (Word and a few Chrome pages). At one point, I got above 6 hours. But one time I left my...

My SP3 also had something similar this afternoon. It was making an odd whizzing/whirling sound and the screen just went out. I had to hold the power button for a couple seconds to restart it. The odd thing is that Battery Bar was saying I had a good 7.33 hours when fully charged. Now it's only...

After a few charges, I'm finally starting to see comparable numbers. I'm at 7:33 with a full charge now. Thanks everyone!

I contacted Microsoft regarding this and as jnjroach mentioned, it was designed this way to implement the Connected Standby mode and minimize strain on the computer while maximizing use. Microsoft's rep was mentioning that getting the SP3 to this design came with a compromise to throttle power...

Thank you! Your comments are reassuring and sure enough, my battery this morning jumped to four hours. Hoping that after I run through another charge or two, it will become the eight or so hours it shows on everyone's SP3s. Thank you!
