I think people are still confused to this day about CPUs, physical cores, and Hyperthreading which gives the impression that there's twice as many physical cores. The 2017 models of the Surface Pro had dual physical core processors with Hyperthreading so if you looked at Task Manager with all...

Update: The Type Cover (model 1561) arrived just a short time ago and I was surprised to discover it's backlit, I wasn't expecting that so a bonus I suppose since I paid just under $20 for it. Everything works as it should, kinda weird how it senses I'm about to start typing and the backlight...

Yah, I did a clean install of 1809 about 5 minutes after Microsoft put up a link for the ISO, nothing special, it's still a crappy OS in my opinion. :) Aside from the rolling release aspect which is not good for Windows at all, it's so wrong it's not even funny, my biggest gripe is they keep...

So I received the Power Cover and of course it's dead in terms of being being an external battery/power source, but the real downside is that it's dead meaning it doesn't even work as a keyboard either which really pisses me off something fierce. The item was not new - it was fairly obvious the...

Tonight as I've been watching MSNBC's coverage of the mid-term elections it's pretty cool to see them using Surface Pros on their news desk with several of them right up there in front of the on-air personalities like Chris Matthews and others. I mean, it's a given considering it's MSNBC as in...

Thanks again for the response. The funny thing about audio in laptops and tablets: it's usually capable of being louder (and still relatively clear) than manufacturer's allow the hardware to actually do, either because of some silly hardware limitation (the EU has that audio level/hearing crap...

I have a BlackBerry Z10, still one of the most amazing devices ever made, and long ago I got this app for it on the BlackBerry market that turns the entire display into a touch-sensitive touchpad and always did love using that with some laptops. People would seem me using it wondering what the...

Ack, forgot the pic I meant to attach and whenever I attempt to edit my posts this forum software won't let me and claims my post is spam, etc, not sure what's causing that (I'm not posting this from my SPro, for the record). Anyway...

Wow, that's a tremendously awesome answer about the stylus, I'll drop you a PM with info, I can easily pay some shipping and a few bucks if you'd like, it's your call. So far so good with the SP, for the moment I'm not using it exclusively as I do intend to get the dock but that'll be a few...

OK, so I got the Surface Pro, it appears to be in excellent physical condition, nothing I can see in terms of damage, no scuffs or anything so good to go there. The Bamboo stylus for my wife's art tablet doesn't appear to be recognized/seen, perhaps that's a driver issue but it's not a major...

Yah, been reading your quite hilarious posts from the past - I went all the way back to the oldest page here in this Surface Pro sub-forum and I've read almost everything from way back in late 2012 to the current day if it seemed to be of interest to me and you and your "dinosaur" stories and...

Considering getting a Surface Pro 1st gen (128GB) from someone on craigslist for $100, no stylus or keyboard, just the tablet and the original AC adapter. Can't speak for the full condition but he said he had just done a reset on it tonight (I presume it's still Windows 8 and not even 8.1 if...
