Same here, though sometimes my unit will still have the fan kick in while idle, showing the desktop.

See above video examples. That's fine to disagree because I understand everybody's experience comes from a different background. I've been drawing on wacom penabled screen tablets for about 10 years and the lag on my SP3 looks as it does in the first video. If you use the SP3 every day then...

Yup, I've tried quite a few programs and the results are the same. Here are some video examples I found on youtube to show what I mean: SP3 cursor lag: SP3 pen pointer accuracy: (17-21 seconds - watch how the pointer shifts a couple mm to re-position itself under the pen when the pentip...

After using the SP3 for a couple of weeks I can honestly say for artwork, the N-Trig pen on the Surface Pro 3 is pretty disappointing. There are 3 main issues I have with the pen. Cursor lag, pointer accuracy and jitter. Cursor lag: The cursor trails behind the pen slowly unlike my wacom...

+1 I saw a detailed step by step youtube video on how to customize the purple button using autohotkey but it was much too complicated for me :( Microsoft should definitely add this feature to the next update of the Surface Hub app as it will benefit a lot of users that prefer to use something...

After owning this unit for a couple of weeks I only started experiencing wifi issues today. It kept failing to connect to the network even after reboot. Right now it's connected but I have a feeling it's going to disconnect randomly through out the day. Other devices work so the issue is...

how do you find the heat and sound? have you experienced any of that yet?

I just downloaded the latest version of this app (jan 26 update) but it would not run on my system (just got a crash popup everytime I try to start up saying the program stopped running). I downloaded version RadialMenuSetup_x64_0.4.4.316.exe and got it to run, but can you tell me where the...

I'm on an i3, and I do find the screen noticeably warm when I rest my palm on it - but not to the point of it ever being unbearable. My fan also tends to kick in randomly (sometimes even when idle). It's not super loud, but I am very sensitive. I would compare the sound to perhaps the whirring...

Thanks for the detailed explanation new2tome. I ended up not buying this particular brand of charger based on reviews of their other chargers (which some were not so positive). I think I will wait until a more slightly more reputable brand releases an affordable one.

Thanks for the reply guys! I think I was close to pulling the trigger on the Patec charger (btw has anyone heard of this brand?) from new2me and compnovo's reviews but I think I'm erring on the side of caution after seeing nipponham and kundas1's post since when I looked at the back of the 3rd...

when did you purchase/exchanged your units? Was it from the Microsoft retail or online store? Also just curious was yours the i3/15/i7 model? Mine is the i3 model. I did read up on this issue and was worried, but if these affected units are truly limited to a batch from last summer, then I'm...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the third party power adapters from asia listed on ebay and amazon? ex. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00SGW6VOI/ Are these safe to use with the SP3? Is there anything in the power specs I need to be extra careful in observing so I...

I just purchased my SP3 the other week and haven't gotten the infamous yellow 'streak' (lol), but I will be pretty upset if my new unit came from one of these effected batches last summer and develops it :(

Thanks, you hit the 1st one! that's the right spot! I guess I will have to put up with this and hope it does not get hotter than it already is (which is only just mildly warm atm). 3) I uninstalled surface hub thru the start screen, and reinstalled it and that fixed the problem. But...

Interesting! Thanks for the explanation. I'm not sure the location of the cpu on the surface but on my other tablets I never felt heat near the screen. It's a bit uncomfortable as I'm used to a cool screen surface when I sketch. I have installed all available updates but I will try to...

Hi, I recently purchased the Surface Pro 3 (i3 model) and was wondering if anyone can help answer these things I've been experiencing so that I can rule out whether my unit is defective please: 1) I notice the screen gets warm moments after turning on the sp3 and when the unit is idle. Not hot...
