    Solved Sp3: System and System interrups waste 20/25% cpu - heating

    I had the exact same issue and was contemplating trying to get a replacement. It turns out that I was running a bazillion useless background issues. I was idling at 26-28%. Here is how I fixed my I5 128 S3. 1. I did a windows refresh. It removes all your programs but keeps your Apps and...

    Overheating fix that worked for me.

    What is your average battery life on your SP3?

    I use my surface almost constantly for 6 hours to drain it down to about 15%. That includes engineering software usage, some video, bright screen, and boosted powered to wireless (since that was an issue). 6 hours is so much more than I used to get on my laptop with these settings and rarely...
