I second most of what has been written in this thread so far. My personal experience involves: - 1 iPad mini (couch surfer) - 1 Macbook Air 11" (work on the go) - 1 gaming desktop - 1 work desktop - 1 Lenovo Yoga 2 tablet (couch surfer + java...) All of this stuff has been replaced by my SP4...

I hope you meant "....had no battery degradation." ;)

Hi jnjroach,thanks for replying. I have already adopted the best practices suggested by MS. What irks me is having seen my battery loose a fraction of its storage capacity after just two days connected to the dock, as if the fact of not having let it cycle through its natural discharge/recharge...

And on it again with another query/consideration: As per above when I plug my SP4 to the dock in order to use its ethernet and additional USB ports, the battery gets charged. I have read a lot of stuff on the subject and, while many contributors will swear that keeping the SP docked (and...

Back at this. In the end I have not been returning the dock as I found a workaround to the problem described above, by simply wiring it to my router through an ethernet cable. Before doing that I have tried to use every tip I could find to troubleshoot the issue of wifi going down anytime a...

Hi Luinwethion, thanks a lot for the heads up. I must apologize because I have not been precise enough while describing how I updated the Surface: I installed a registry update I found on Microsoft's site and downloaded the Surface dock updater mentioned in your reply but, upon running it the...

Well then, this is my first negative post; as such I welcome myself to the club of disgruntled Surface users. :) Just joking since in fact my issue has to do with Microsoft's docking station and not with the Surface directly: I bought this (very expensive) dock yesterday, plugged it and...

Hi. I understand your frustration and sympathize with you. I cannot say I am experiencing the same problems since my SP4 (i5/4/128) has so far been running flawlessly through all the various software updates including AU. I might have been one of those lucky enough to bump on a defects-free...

Hi Bluegrass. As per my post I compensate the small amount of space on my SSD with a 200gb microSD on the SP4 dedicated slot. Right now, with all my documents/data and apps fully loaded I still have 90gb of free space on C: and 150 gb on D:, more than enough to keep me going without having to...

Helo Huglle thanks for chiming in. I have been an Evernote user since its inception a few years ago. As such I have thousands of documents thar I rely on quite heavily for my work. Since I cannot aford loosing it and One Note is still not a mature application (in that it crashes constantly, at...

Hi all, I have just subscribed after buying an SP4 which will replace my aging 2011 MBA (11"/i7/4gb/250gb). I decided to take the jump after looking at almost every ultrabook/portable out there. My mind was almost set on a DELL XPS 13, then I bumped on a local store's very aggressive offer (SP4...
