I upgraded, and had the same issues with my SP3. not that infrequently it would just stay on a black screen when I tried to wake it up and the only way to get it back was hard reset by holding down the power button. Ran very hot sometimes doing almost nothing. And it would also freeze up...

Sold my SP3 i7 256GB to my brother for $800. Wanted more for it, but to help out family seemed worth it. He's not actually even paying for it, it's his company that gave him a budget to buy a laptop to use for work, so I just have to make him a purchase order. Since I got it for about $1,100...

Post here if you received a discount of some sort, or promotion, or cash back, that made your SP4 a good deal! Hopefully can help others. I noticed Best Buy had a trade in any laptop for a Surface Pro or Surface Book and get at least $100. I traded in a very old laptop to get the $100...

I was just having some thoughts about upgrading my i5 256GB to i7, checked Best Buy web site for return policy and for purchases made from 11/1/15 until 12/31/15 you have until 1/15/16 to return/exchange! I checked my receipt and I bought on 11/1/15. Good thing too because I was going to go on...

Did anyone get the bundle with Complete? I bought my Surface at Best Buy, but then went to MS Store to ask about and purchase complete for $149. They said for $350 I could get the Type Cover, Complete, a sleeve, a year of Office 365, and in the box with the year of office also got 1 year of...

I currently have a SP3, i7 256GB, 8GB Ram. I am in the beginnings of an MBA program and was thinking of upgrading. I make a 6 figure salary and company pays tuition, so not a huge deal after selling SP3. Just pointing out that while money is of course important, I'm not pinching pennies. At...

I'm a weird case in that I frequently have been taking notes with the SP3 docked, with a textbook or other reference material on my left external display, something like a MLB or NFL game on my right one or another internet window, and then taking notes on docked SP3, which is a bit weird but...

This is why I don't think we can trust the results of this poll. I personally have seen this issue on every SP3 I've had (3) and seen at my local MS Store. Others can look at your pic and say they don't see anything, and others didn't even notice they had the streak until they read about it on...

Had the black one, felt it was boring/plain, so exchanged for the blue one...so yea I have the blue one (the light blue, not the dark best buy exclusive blue).

Reading the topics list is a sea of negativity! Which makes sense, because in a way that's what online forums are for, those who have complaints many times go online to post about it, and those who are happy users just, well, use their device. Who else, besides myself, are completely happy...

No I am in the US, studying to take the GMAT to get into business school, it's a requirement of most business schools, at least the accredited ones, here in the United States.

I am in the camp that believes this issue exists on all, or at least the vast majority of SP3's and those who say they don't have it are either 1. very lucky 2. just not able to see it. I am reluctant to exchange for this reason as my i7 256GB is otherwise perfect. Have had no heat/fan issues...

Sorry if I missed it, but I didn't see a Post your setup thread. For those of us using this at the desk, maybe with multiple monitors, docking station, etc. Myself, I have the i7 256GB SP3, have purchased the blue type cover, the Logitech K810 BT keyboard, the Arc Surface Edition BT mouse, the...

I have the i7, and I myself think the i5 8GB Ram is the sweet spot of the line. In fact, I had the i5 8GB and didn't think the i7 was worth the $250 price premium. I decided to upgrade to i7 only because at the time I found a way to get it for only $125 more total out the door rather than $250...

I ALMOST never buy extended warranties on anything, but this is an exception. I bought i7 256GB from Staples and originally turned down the Warranty from them. Then was in Microsoft Store and they told me there was a bundle for $250 for Type Cover, MS Complete and a case. Considering the Type...

Some (not me, I have an i7) would have you believe you downgraded by going from the i5 to the i7. Enjoy!!

I hate responses like this because it's exactly the type of reason I want these in depth comparisons/reviews. Casual users jump to conclusions with no real data to back it up. Since the i5 throttles, then the i7 throttles..only real reason to go for i7 is storage... etc. Well, yeah, maybe...

Yup, whoever posted the pic, EVERY SP3 I've had and seen has it.... although it's worse on some than others. Actually, my current i7 256GB is the least affected. It doesn't look quite as bad as your pic, but it is most definitely there. Like others, I'm convinced this is widespread since I am...

Agreed. Some will swear they don't see it, and maybe they don't, or don't have it. But I've had the i5 128GB, i5 256GB, and now i7 256GB and all 3 have the yellow line. And so did the ones at the MS Store I went to, although it's hard to see unless you're looking for it. Like you said, when...

The i7 has been out for 2 weeks now. I expected review sites, Anandtech, and knowledgable owners to have done some comparisons between i3/i5/i7, detailed benchmarks, battery tests etc. but still hardly anything. Similarly, I have been looking for detailed accounts, impressions of the dock from...
