    Removable hard shell case for surface pro 4

    Hi everyone, Whats the best hard shell (aluminum, polymer, ect) case for a surface pro 4? Plot twist, it can not be a skin or case which is attached to the surface and is intended to be on the device while in use. Just a transport only case, which once opened, "the naked "surface can be removed...

    YouTube app does not work on SP4

    So I went to the Microsoft store, clicked on the official Youtube app by Microsoft, and it says "this app is not compatible with your device." Strange, why would it not be compatible with windows 10 and a SP4?

    Solved Fast SD Card Recommendation

    I am also interested in what micro SD cards people recommend for their SP4. I have read good reviews about the Samsung Evo. Not to stray off topic but for the higher speed micro SD cards mentioned above, what will these speeds effect? For example would a game stored on the micro sd card be...

    Today I switched into tablet mode (which I have not done a lot), then went split screen as I had two windows open in Edge. Suddenly the screen locked up and became unresponsive. Tried the pen, tried my finger, connected the keyboard... nothing worked. Eventually the screen went black and...

    m3 or i5 128Gb and 4 Gb of RAM

    I have had my i5 4gb for over a week now. I had some initial problems, some of which seem to be resolved now.

    How tough is the SP4?

    I am not planning on doing anything, I was just curious how durable it is. I see they used Gorilla glass 4 and magnesium alloy for the body. This sounds pretty durable, but then again it is a very difficult item to have repaired. I would love to get Microsoft Complete, but I called Microsoft and...

    Is anyone else having this problem? The supplied stylus that came with my sp4 is leaving scratches on the screen that can not be wiped off. When the screen is off I can see them and its quite obvious they are from the stylus.

    What games are you playing on your SP4?

    I haven't dare try anything other than recent classics. However, I downloaded steam and gave it a try. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 runs fine in high quality so far (required some adjusting in the game settings for resolution) and Sim City 4 runs good so far in high. sp4 i5 4gb. Would love to hear...

    What games are you playing on your SP4?

    Hey guys, I just got an SP4 i5 4gb model. Its main purpose is for productivity and less fun things, but after searching the forum I noticed some of you are running full versions of PC games on your SP4's. Considering it has an integrated intel graphics chip with no dedicated graphics memory, I...
