I remain puzzled by why people want to get screen protectors for the Surface tablets. I'm now on my 5th Surface, none of which have been fitted with screen protectors and none of which have suffered any screen damage issues except one: it flew off the rear of my convertible onto gravel when I...

FWIW, I've now had two separate Surface docks fail on me. One failed entirely (about 2 years old), and the second works for everything except the Ethernet direct internet connection. Very disappointing for what should be a pretty simple piece of hardware, and expensive at that.

Not sure why, but today using Chrome I've gotten 6 hours of surfing and am still at 40% battery remaining. Maybe just a one-time glitch.

No, all updates have been installed. Guess I will take the tablet to the Microsoft Store and have them check it out.

This is unacceptable! I bought this to replace a SP4, i7 16GB RAM because I wanted extended battery life, but I'm not getting it. Less than 3 hours, surfing using Foxfire. Any ideas? The following is what I see as output from powercfg -energy: Power Efficiency Diagnostics Report Computer...

I use my cell phone to tether, routinely. Since I always carry my cell phone, I've personally never seen a purpose for having a cell modem inside my tablet devices. Do people want this feature only because they don't want to carry a cell phone?

Drawboard is now a paid app. Was loaded on my SP4, not on my new SP2017.

There's a boatload of software that doesn't play well with high-res displays, Adobe Acrobat, Quickbooks and AutoCAD being front and center among the offenders. The screen on the SP4 is lovely, but my work laptop with the "crappy" HD screen resolution (1366 x 768) works a lot better with a...

More resistance to shattering of the display. That's a serious problem with the current models.

It came as a big surprise to me that the .pst file didn't sync to my Dropbox account the way I thought it had. That's really the only file I lost.

Having had a corner of my screen shatter on my initial SP4, I went through the replacement program MS has implemented. Cost me $450 to have a replacement unit, and unfortunately lost my Outlook .pst file. :mad: I've since purchased a padded case that the SP4 will always be placed in before it...

Yes; that's exactly how I use mine (128 GB).

I've got a very old Toshiba Dynadock (I've had it at least 8 years). It works fine with my SP4 to access an external 1920x1080 display, printer, DVD-ROM drive and other assorted peripherals.

They've been at the MS store in Columbus for a week or more.

I've taken advantage of my ASUS router's 5 Gz band to connect, and my slow connection problems have vanished. The regedit solution didn't work at all for me.

Me too. Running an eMachines monitor attached through a Toshiba Dynadock U hub.

I don't have specifics on use of the SP4 with a TV, but generally speaking Windows 10 does not seem to have figured out very well how to reconcile a new, higher resolution internal display such as that on the SP4 with outboard displays. If you find settings where the internal displays work...

Have you confirmed that this simple act will let the SP4 through? Seems odd, but then many things the TSA does seem odd ...

That's kind of irrelevant once they pull the bag out off the conveyor.

Was playing the Windows Sudoku game occasionally on my SP4, but it quit responding. Tried unloading and reloading it with no joy.
