Thanks Moonsurface. Sounds like the "3 pen" should make an excellent stopgap while I get a replacement "4 pen" (make that a couple of replacements) shipped over to me ...

Ok, let me try and refine my question a little. I know I can grab any old pen or stylus and do exactly what I can do with my fingers but would a Surface 3 pen do somewhat better than "slightly better than nothing". Has anybody tried?

Ok, it had to happen and it's my own d@mn fault. Lost the pen for my Surface Book going through security at the Delhi airport. I told myself to get a replacement to carry around but of course I didn't. India is a little off my normal beat and I'm only here for a few days but need a pen pronto...

Got a kick out of that Seneleron! Picturing myself walking through a night market in Malaysia or Indonesia where I live most of the year with a see through pocket on the outside of my bag and my iPad glowing through it... I'd have scooter-riding bag-snatchers lined up for blocks behind me! :(

This old guy can speak to finding the mouse cursor on screen, I have the same problem especially when I look away for a time to rest my eyes. Pressing the control key for the radar locator effect works...

Great idea guys, "Here comes a chopper to chop off your head..." Thanks

Hey Seneleron, I bought an i5 because it's also the most sensible use case for me, my computing needs are covered perfectly adequately by the i5 - mostly Dreamweaver, light Photoshopping and MS Office work and I travel a lot so I expect my systems to have a two year lifecycle max (after which...

I get the same sound moving around in iTunes. Very different from the popping sound I used to get from Edge. The iTunes one sounds to my ear like a cash register drawer opening so I actually just assumed it was a normal Apple sound effect ;)

I think I read in another thread that someone had been instructed by a Microsoft representative to grasp the screen by a corner when removing from keyboard base. I wonder if this is because they know about the potential weak spot, certainly wouldn't look good during a demonstration to crack the...

I agree with Niterider and Nuspieds that a Windows wipeout and reinstall is not a solution, it's a sledghammer approach. To my mind it's also a bit of a coin flip because sometimes the pain and aggravation of doing so is no guarantee that the problem will be resolved. It's always bothered me...

Posted one earlier in this thread, if you'd like more let me know and I'll pop some more up once the sun comes up here in Toronto :)

Hi Chrille, I've had the 256gb Transcend Lite 130 in my Surface book since the end of November. Works great (I use it for Windows File History), no issues and I don't even notice it's there when I carry the Book around.

Wow! Windows 7 as the pinnacle of design? Hey johnfrisco, did you go to the same school as Matias Duarte?

Someone in another thread recommended a Transcend Jet Drive Lite (you can search on Transcend to find the original thread). I picked one up and it's worked fine with a low profile, I leave it in place and haven't had any issues. Here's a quick snap...

I know the click is a simulation. I also know there have been hardware failures on the detach but I have not had a hardware failure, the screen attaches/detaches every time. Has anyone had the message only (without hardware failure)? Did anyone who did have the hardware failure receive the...

Since the Fall update I've been having a minor latch failure issue. Whenever I use the software or hardware detach I receive the red 'failed to detach' error message but only the message, I still get the audible click and I can still detach so it's simply an erroneous error message not an actual...

I've had my Surface Book since Oct 26th and I'm loving it but... One little thing I'd like to see is an add on cover for those times I'm wandering around the house and yard with just the fully detached tablet. All I'm talking about is just a thin, light, flat cover that would attach where the...

Easiest way to get the serial number is just launch the Surface App (big tile that says Surface, allows you to set pen sensitivity but that's about all it does. Hopefully more to come) and click on the smiley at bottom of the left menu icons. This will display the serial number, a few other bits...

I've been using my Surface Book since the 27th of October as my sole business device. Given it a great workout on a couple of time sensitive projects and despite a few instances of flakiness it's done a fabulous job. Migi, I'm new to this forum but I've seen a few of your posts since the Book...

I've used the Wacom Intuous line off and on in the past, good value for the money but if you're only beginning to get accustomed to using pen input you may find working with a drawing tablet to be quite a different experience from using a pen directly on a screen as you would with a Surface...
