    Pen Stopped Working, Now Works Again

    Several months ago. I replaced the battery in my SP3 pen and all was good. One day I went to use the pen and the alignment was off. I would write a straight line and it would only print parts of the line and the crosshairs on the screen were way off. I tried restoring the computer and problem...

    Worst battery powered device ever, my SP3...

    I applied the fix on my SP3 and the battery life seemed to be improved on it's first battery run. Only problem is, I got the warning that I had one hour left at about 10-30% or so and then the computer just shut off. I read the notes on this on how it will take several uses to get the battery...

    Does the SP3 cause eye strain?

    I can't wear my glasses while using my SP3 if I want to be able to read the screen.

    Is this a Manufacturing Defect?

    The one I am talking about is the 128GB SSD model. The 256GB model that may have the Samsung SSD did not have the same slow write speeds as the 128GB SSD.

    Is this a Manufacturing Defect?

    My first SP3 was getting over 8 hrs usage on battery power. I returned it because it had the slow Samsung SSD. The new unit has the faster SSD but this one gets over 6 hrs usage on battery. I don't care about that so much because I really don't need battery power very often. I wonder if the SSD...

    Defect on my new SP3

    Yes, I would return it. I don't have this defect on my SP3. If it did, I would have returned it already.

    Poll Shut down SP3 or just close the type cover

    Then that just might be the SP3. I turn mine off when on battery power so that it doesn't continue to use that battery power. Last time I left it on battery power and hit the sleep option. Woke up and 10% had been used up. Sure that's not a whole lot but I didn't need it to be doing anything...

    3 generations in and still: Ghost image glitch on lock-/welcome-screen

    Same. It's another one of those things that I have just never noticed.

    Poll Shut down SP3 or just close the type cover

    If it's plugged in, I just close the cover. On battery power, I power it off. The boot up time on this thing is just seconds so it's nothing to have to turn it on.

    Spelling in IE

    I found this page. Downloaded the free app hotkey and then on that page is a file you download and click. It loads thousands of words that it will now spell check. You can easily edit it to add more words too. Seems to be working on one of the sites that the built in spell checker didn't...

    Spelling in IE

    No, just the installed one for the United States. The spell check also does not work while using the keyboard while attached. This is just on some sites, not all. I think it has to do with the editor that these sites use. I never have the problem on vBulletin or Xenforo sites.

    Spelling in IE

    I've noticed this annoying thing while trying the same sites on my Mac using Safari. Guess there is nothing I can really do.

    Spelling in IE

    Ok, can you explain how I do this? When I go to settings, keyboard, I don't see anything.

    Spelling in IE

    I have noticed that on several sites that I go to including a few that I run myself, spelling mistakes aren't underlined or corrected even though I have these settings turned on. This happens in both desktop IE and modern. It's also the same with either the type cover or onscreen keyboards...

    Solved Surface Pro 3 Virtual Keyboard Obscures Whatever You're Typing

    Happy that it helped. I prefer the desktop version of IE over the modern version.

    Solved Surface Pro 3 Virtual Keyboard Obscures Whatever You're Typing

    You can move the page around so that you can see what you are typing. I did that to type this using the onscreen keyboard and IE. Also, on the onscreen keyboard on the top right are two icons. If you tap the first one that looks like a rectangle, the keyboard detaches itself from the bottom and...

    Sounds like you got a bad Mac, plain and simple. Your experience is not common by any means.

    Microcenter getting a special "batch" of i5 128GB tablets, is MS trying to make fools of customers?

    I think he is asking if you got he replacement in an original box.

    Get it replaced but what happens if the replacement has the Samsung SSD in it as well?

    Microcenter getting a special "batch" of i5 128GB tablets, is MS trying to make fools of customers?

    Sure they haven't specified the minimum SSD specs that are included but it's not fair for someone to get a slow Samsung SSD when someone who buys one right after me, gets the fast SSD. If we're buying the same exact I5128GB, performance should be the same.
