Maybe the mods think there are LEGITIMATE points to be made regarding the topic at hand.

The difference is that the lens cover does what it is supposed to do, whereas the kickstand blocking the camera is clearly a design oversight.

You people just hate the fact that I'm the bearer of bad news. I'm the IT manager of my company, my friends, and I'm required to make fast evaluation for products my company potentially wants to buy. With Win8.1Pro, this clearly has potential for the workspace, but boy, does it suck big balls.

All they had to do was make some kind of hole or opening so the kickstand wouldn't block the camera.

Doesn't matter how fast you can do it. On other devices it takes ZERO second, Lol. And most people can't close the kickstand in half second, admit it.

SP3's kickstand is way overrated. Its multi-angular placement was first done in the beginning of time: it was called LAPTOP COVER then. This kickstand simply does it upside down. And it actually WASTE space compared to regular laptops. Your legs need to be longer just to rest it on your lap...

I'm going to return my SP3 for a full refund so guess whether I would take your offer or not. Sooner or later you'll be offering YOUR SP3 for 50% off too, lol. Start looking forward to Windows 9 and SP4, guys, and hoping it won't be a lemon.

When your kickstand is opened all the way and suddenly someone or something appears that you need to take a picture of. After you spend 10-15 seconds closing the kickstand to unblock the camera, that someone or something is already gone. See it now? That's right, keep up the arrogant...

I mean, how stupid is this? The cameras are lousy enough as they are, so why compound it with such stupidity. I'm barely 24 hours into using this piece of scientific wonder, and I've seen all the lockups, bugs, wi-fi issues, pen issues, and stupid features that I care to see. I'm pretty much...

Use an Android and you'll see. There is a reason why Android has the biggest market share while the Surface line is in its THIRD YEAR and still can't move out of the lemon factory.

Practically every android app I've tried was able to stay awake during file transfer: One of those file manager apps with networking ability, the Invelo's DVD Profiler app, etc. If MS wants to compete with other tablets, its tablets need to at least match their abilities instead of inheriting...

Are the Surface RT tablets also unable to stay awake during network file transfer?

Are those Surface RT tablets the same way?

Or do I have to set power option to "never" going to sleep? My Android devices automatically stay awake during file transfer; the screen may dim but the device never really goes to sleep.

Well, my SP3 froze again. Once before I rolled back to the older network driver, and once after. Both times, it froze at the moment I was fiddling with the wi-fi settings. So it seems the freeze-up had something to do with the network driver. I have had a number of issues with SP3 after...

I followed your workaround to a tee and my "limited" wifi was fixed also. For the first time, my SP3 finally got the Internet speed close to what my other non-Microsoft smartphones and tablets have got. Previously, my SP3 had been only half their speed. My SP3 has frozen once as well...

But how do bring up that lasso tool to select drawings?

I remember in Windows 7 Pro, once the PC went to sleep or was locked, it would ask for a password when it woke up or was unlocked, no matter what. That was why I always set power option to "always on" -- which obviously you can't do on a tablet.

Without pressing the button on the pen, can I use my fingers to select objects in OneNote? Thanks.

After I joined a Windows Server domain on my Surface Pro 3, I noticed that I must type my password to sign in every time my device is locked, even when "never require a password" is selected in PC settings, Accounts, Sign-in options. This happened whether I signed in to my non-domain or domain...
