Most likely it is because of chrome. I get 6hrs on average according to the battery report, and actual usage. If performance is not an issue apparently you can turn down the maximum processor state to significantly extend battery life, but I haven't tested it.

Almost all your complaints are things you knew before you bought the SP2. As for hardware failures I had problems with my SP2 (I also live in Australia) with the SP2 crashing on resume from sleep . I had mine replaced under warranty. They delivered a brand new SP2 within a couple of days - the...

No, it is not fixed. It crashes less often but still crashes, even with the latest updates. I have just sent mine back for a replacement. I would strongly suggest you do too.

Mine is 14.69.24049.160 as well, dated 8/11/2013. I have the January firmware installed.

Speaking with surface support, this is exactly what they tell you. The firmware is coming in pieces, with new firmware in a few weeks. They are fully aware the January firmware is not a complete fix.

I've been having this problem and finally decided to contact Surface support. I have to say it was the best customer service I've probably ever had. I went to the website and requested a call back. Within 20 seconds they called my phone. It was clear they were fully aware of the issue. Their...

I am having this exact issue and so are others. Not every time, but occasionally when I try to wake the computer the fan runs for a few seconds and the computer crashes. If you look at the event viewer, under system you can see events related to the crash. I am awaiting the January firmware to...

I will have bought a mini display port to hdmi and also a mini display port to dvi cable and both have worked perfectly on my surface pro 2. The mini display port is not proprietary to Macs. By the look of it the cable you gave a link to looks fine for a surface pro 2, but I can't guarantee it...

Does the fan suddenly run for a couple of seconds after the first button press?

This is a known problem when you reinstall/refresh the OS and do a firmware update. I believe the way to solve the driver issue is to download the zip file containing all the drivers for the surface pro 2, go to the folder containing the driver, right click on the driver file and click install...

A suggestion, buy from a bricks and mortar store for an expensive purchase like this. Most will just replace your purchase on the spot.

Personally I don't think it is worth getting the dock. I bought a display port to dvi cable to connect to my monitor for $7 delivered, and also a display port to hdmi cable for $7 delivered so I can play games on my TV, with a wireless Xbox controller. Get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse...

For issue number 2, I had the same problem with the cover. I had it replaced and now my SP2 works perfectly. Definitely replace the cover under warranty.
