If you can afford the 8gb version then why not go for it? You can't really have too much memory.- you just might not use all of it very often. If you are anything like me, you won't regret getting more if you end up with hundreds of emails open, lots of browser tabs going and a lot of other open...

Mostly been playing Elite: Dangerous (both Beta and now Pre-release) I also have a penchant for the Call of Duty series.. There's plenty of fan noise with E:D but no noticeable throttling - been driving an external monitor as well.

I have an i7, and I agree that it really depends on your use cases. I've not noticed throttling affect anything that I'm actually trying to do, even when running some pretty intensive stuff like games, VMware etc. Fan noise is a bit easier to notice/describe - and my experience has been that...

Not sure about the game in the video, but my favourite touch based game has to be Machinarium. Absolutely enchanting, addictive and at times massively frustrating puzzle game with a brilliant plot.

It's worth noting that the options nipponham mentions above are only available when the type cover (or another trackpad) is attached.

The only MUI app that gives me any trouble is Mail - scrolling can sometimes be jerky, and if I close the app with the Mouse it dumps me to a blank blue screen rather than the start screen. Press the windows key and it goes back to start screen. Weird.

I've got an i7 and Xbox One. I'm actually thinking about building a gaming PC as well, as I have quite a few titles on Steam I used to run on the MacBook Pro I have, which are also available on Windows. Plus the fact I've bought in to the Elite: Dangerous Beta (now Pre-release) so want to see...

Strangely enough Virtualbox stopped the hub from working for me - it looks like something VM related captured Bluetooth. Uninstalled it and then Surface Hub worked. Just my experience tho.

I'm glad things are working better for you - I would encourage you to stick with it. I've had some frustrations with DPI scaling, mostly with VMware and a few other apps, but to be honest I think it's a compromise between great looking screen/interface and compatibility with older apps. I...

Mind you, have you seen how much those new curved 4k TVs are? New strategy from MS for a higher priced curved surface? :D

If the above pic isn't camera distortion then that's not a screen issue.. that's the chassis.

I looked hard for a folio style case that would allow use of the Kickstand. After a while I decided I just liked the way the Surface felt in the buff and stopped searching. I have a sleeve type case for surface + type cover with adapter, mouse etc. as I reckon it's durable enough for normal...

Well if they do make a major leap forward then they might just manage to get some traction - and if they do I think it can only be good news for everyone - Surface users, desktop users, right across the ecosystem - and more competition will force others to up their game as well. You can probably...

Might be an obvious point, and I apologise if I'm stating something you know already, but have you checked and double checked for updates & firmware updates? And have you got Hyper-V enabled?

Yep - you're right it's all about tablet usability. I would add though that I like the fact that I can use the Surface with Kickstand in tablet mode with no keyboard and thus have the advantage of the weight saving. That's the key for me - a tablet I can use flexibly without the flexibility...

Kickstand = tablet angle flexibility on desk for pen+drawing, in bed for reading and on lap for typing/browsing. For me, the Kickstand makes it the most flexible tablet I've ever used. For me the Kickstand is more important as a tablet feature than a keyboard feature.

Woah, this sounds way better than the SP3 - where do I get one from? Just take my money already g'dammit..

I know this is slightly off topic, but after the very latest firmware for the SP3 I was able to connect to my Sony TV via miracast for the first time ever. Prior to this it either asked for a PIN that I didn't have or just didn't complete the connection, just like you were saying with the...

Yep - I have to agree with you there.. and possibly a bigger app selection
