    Arc Touch Mouse | Surface Edition

    Well, the fix is to call Microsoft and request mouse number 3. Please lightning, don't strike again.

    Arc Touch Mouse | Surface Edition

    Does anyone have a fix for this? I'm on my second mouse and both have had this exact same problem. RMA through mail is getting ridiculous. I tried calling Microsoft with the first mouse, but the language barrier was unfortunately an issue and we couldn't even get past my account info to...

    My Attempt at External Fan Cooling

    Exactly. Plus, heat is inherently bad for electronics. The lower your average temps stay, the longer the lifespan of your components.

    My Attempt at External Fan Cooling

    As I stated earlier it was just for fun. I'm not getting any overheating messages.

    My Attempt at External Fan Cooling

    This is why I had initially considered the Geforce cooler. It has a solid copper base and I was going to grind off the board stand-offs and mount flush with the back case. That little unit gets surprisingly cold in hand when running on just 5v. I just personal didn't think there would be...

    My Attempt at External Fan Cooling

    I mainly purchased as a laptop replacement. Times are changing and I'm try to integrate evolving technology into my daily work. I prefer Windows, and it is compatible with my job. So far it seems a good fit. I definitely won't be needing to take the fan with me. It is not practical at all.

    My Attempt at External Fan Cooling

    So I decided to dig around my parts bin and using my "street smarts" fabricate a fan for my Surface. After spending so much for the SP3 set-up I have already, this is pretty much my only choice anyway as I really like my marriage. Here's what I gathered initially: The broken USB male end is...

    Proud New Father of a Surface Pro 3

    This weekend I plan on fabbing up a USB fan unit to cool this thing while gaming. I'm still trying to determine if I want it to run off the port or external power to free up said port. I'll try to post the project, but I have a really bad habit of "getting in the grove" and forgetting to photo...

    Proud New Father of a Surface Pro 3

    I'm coming from a Core i5 HP Pavilion DV7. It did the job for the past few years (excellent sound for a laptop btw), but I've wanted a Surface since the announce in 2012. I'm still tweaking and setting it up, but it's already a great replacement. World of Tanks looks incredible, as do most...

    OFFICIAL I Now Have a Surface Pro 3 i7

    Greetings All, I just had my Core i7/256 model delivered yesterday (well sort of delivered, horrible USPS experience) and I have spent the entire day today tweaking and setting this bad-boy up. This is my first Surface and so far I love it. Also the community that has been established here...
