    Turn Screen Off Without Sleeping?

    I find this both hilarious and ridiculous at the same time. How can a tablet/laptop, let alone a windows machine made by microsoft, NOT be able to run a simple windows program in the background while the screen is off? Seriously I can't believe that Microsoft would actually allow something like...

    best browser for low cpu usage in Sp3

    yeup. Theres been battery test on various browsers ( Andantech or something? i forgot) IE metro seems to be the best at managing resources, then comes IE desktop... and the rest you can forget about. I LOVE chrome but apparently it's a memory hog and it absolutely KILLS battery, I'd refrain...

    awesome tip for the closing app delay time. it never really bothered me but then again I always have to end up going to task manager and ending all these metro apps. By the way, it'd be great if someone complied all these tips into one post.. ( i don't have adequate time to do so im a uni...

    i5 4GB ram or i5 8GB ram

    from what I know bigger capacities don't. However running MORE sticks of Ram does cost battery life. Also, yes, it's easy to max 4GB of ram. I say this loosely cause it really really depends what you do. For example, my photoshop files get really messy and end up having 30 - 40 layers of vector...

    Surface Pro 3 and Photoshop

    does someone know how to disable that pen hover cursor !?!?!? it's driving me MAD cause it lags behind the pen tip so much ( I know this is only a visual effect - the pen detection doesn't actually lag behind, as soon as you hit the screen that's where your ink goes) It's SO annoying cause it...

    i5 4GB ram or i5 8GB ram

    I was deciding between 4gb and 8gb. If you don't intensely use Photoshop or some CAD software, you'll be fine with the 4gb. Really as a uni student (ENG/DESG) 4gb would probably be enough - my old tablet had 4GB ram and I've only ran into problems (PS or CAD had low RAM warning) 2 or 3 times in...
