I'll ask a microsoft technician. How often does yours freeze?

Apparently, malberttoo you consider this to be a fact. Ok, let's make allowances for the bad behaviour of biased users but not anyone else. If someone asks an honest question and gets snark from other users it does nothing for the forum.

The batch number is provided on the surface pro 3 box...it is not the serial number

Yes, the original contrast is not very good. Have you tried streaming videos with dark scenes, are they not very dark anymore? If the change is only causing 20-30 mins battery loss, I wouldn't fret. What was your original battery life? Oh and sorry, I forgot. I think you lose that feature once...

Naturally, I reinstalled the battery right away. It seems to freeze much less, but it has frozen a few times in the past few hours. No one else is having this issue?

Hi Sven, how big a decrease in battery life?

A workstation would be absolute overkill for what Jack is doing. Are you two attacking Jack because you think he should be using something like a Dell precision to run those two programs? Entirely inappropriate from a courtesy standpoint, and well uninformed. Jack, I understand your situation...

How often does it happen? I can't imagine this is common.

Hi guys, I've come across a problem recently. The pen will occasionally become unresponsive, sometimes for about 30-40 seconds. The trackpad does however work at these times. Has anyone come across this? Can it be sorted as it is a little annoying Appreciate the help!

It is quite expensive though. I will just deal with smudges by wiping with a microfiber cloth. Other than smudges I find it difficult to buy a protector because the screen can take the abuse unless you have cats

Try the new unit out. The i7 runs the fan on very frequently though in my experience. It is the nature of the device. The reason I think you have a defective unit though is because it reaches that 90 degrees...that is too hot

My surface is a bit jiggly at certain angles. My roommate has one that is solid though. Quality control on the surface line is very bad in my experience. I went through 3 different surface 2's and my roommate has gone through 4 sp3's. So if it is just a minor imperfection keep it or else you...

I think there is some level of irrationality at play here. We do not need to compare the surface 3 to "vintage laptops" because that would be daft. We can compare it to the surface 2 The 3 is thinner and has a bigger screen, but it is slower and it heats up more easily. I have a surface 2, and...

Works like a charm with the BT headphones out of the picture. And I have done this on two different surfaces. I don't know if it can be taken for granted that cutting WIFI speeds in half is feasible for everyone.

I went through the tweak tool and the intel drivers before making this thread. No, it did not fix the darks.

I think this is a very honest answer. Thank you. It is a great little machine but it really struggles

How do you set it to windowed mode or do that compatibility setting (properties is it)?

My connection speed is 20mbps. With the bluetooth get 2.5-4mbps

My battery life is pretty good but I mainly use Office and work software rather than watching movies or heavy surfing when on the road. Thanks for the tips! What are FUDites? :)

It might be my connection is not as fast as yours; however, be cautions about saying "it'll be fine". I have issues with wIFl when my headphones are on. My speed tests fall drastically when the headphones are on.
