    For Those Who Clip the Pen on the Cover

    Hi everyone. I have a few hacks that seem to work for me really well. 1) Crimp the pen holder and stick it to the kickstand. Makes the pen easily accessible / useable when the kickstand is used (whicjh is ALL the time. As you adjust the angle of the kickstand, the pen holder changes angle as...

    CAD on SP3

    I, too, consistently run Solidworks on my SP3 and I love it. The ONLY thing it cannot really do is fine renderings with RealView Graphics because of the GPU. Other than that, for 3D modeling and a pretty decent amount of engineering, it is wonderfully adequate. I also have the wireless version...

    Removing the W10 tray program...until later?

    I have a question for the hivemind - If I completely REMOVE (not just hide...) the Windows 10 tray icon / program, can I still upgrade to Windows 10 later when they are on...ohhhh...about update 8 or 9 for it?

    SP3 becomes hot even with simple applications

    I was on W10 as well for 5 days and this happened to me A LOT. I tried to look for things to make it better as well. I am back on 8.1 now, but in my investigations, I discovered a page WAYYYYYY deep in the Settings page (Start, Settings, Privacy - Scroll down to Background Apps) and there were...

    Finding the Battery Drain

    Hey everyone. I did the upgrade to W10, standard upgrade - seemed to go without a problem - stayed with it for 5 days but reverted back to 8.1 because of a few issues.
