I got an update last night, see attached. Does anyone know what they do? I can't seem to find information about them.

My SP4 updated this past weekend and now I see the screen flickering. After a bit of searching, I found that some SP4 devices have this issue. I can't see if it's defective, or a result of the update. It was purchased in 2015, so I would imagine it's well past the warranty. Is MS offering a...

I'm looking to record audio from an external instrument. It looks like a USB mic is the way to go? Any recommendations? Sounds like one should avoid using the mic in on the SP4. Thanks! Edit: Boris's suggestion looks like it will do :)

No, it's you that is wrong. Good luck.

You must be a freaking genius. Sorry that I'm not. The OP's question was what's the difference between the two. I figure comparing the same load on each is a good comparison. I would say that there is no significant difference between the two models when doing the SAME tasks.

I think the comparison is valid in that it was an attempt to do the same thing on each model, and compare the difference. How is that not valid, or useless as you put it?

I recall a video from mobile tech review comparing the two. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Review - Laptop and Tablet Reviews by MobileTechReview That's in comparison to the i5, which was 6.5 hours.

Is the volume button stuck? Try banging on it ...

I have an i5/256/8 - we can trade ;0

No disagreement here ...

Yea, I figured that was you :) I've been frequenting this site, windows central, reddit and answers.microsoft to keep up to date on the feedback.

The rate shown, 1500 mW per hour is typical. You are going to need to use hibernate until MS fixes this, which wont be until next year.

Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile 3600 works well for me.

Yes. If I lost battery during hibernate I'd be REALLY upset :)

I get the same with the update, around 1700 mW per hour (+4%). If I use the display driver from September, I get about 550 mW drain per hour. So this update doesn't help with the drain during sleep.

It said the same thing when the driver crashed on my Lenovo. Nothing to do with the SP4. Try the beta driver from Intel.

Would the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility help? I understand you can create application profiles with it, so perhaps it's possible to configure something that is used while playing CS GO.

Does that workaround apply to the Surface? What Surface has a NVIDIA processor? Workaround only works for Desktop devices with NVIDIA processors. Open NVIDIA Control Panel, select Manage 3D settings. Update the Preferred Graphics Processor to “High-performance NVIDIA processor” (detailed...
