I haven't experienced any heat problems with my i5.

Tony, when you install Office 365 the "full" more feature rich version, called OneNote 2013 will come with Office and will automatically be installed along with everything else. The stylus centric version comes already installed on your SP. There is a really great article describing the...

Actually, SharpColorado, the SP3 comes with a Modern/Metro version of OneNote, which is less feature rich but more stylus oriented than the "full" OneNote 2013. However, you can just go over to OneNote.com and download the fuller featured Desktop version for free, without Office. Although 2013...

Setup does give you the option to set it up as a totally different machine as well. And of course you can always later set your various pcs to sync settings and or choose which aspects you want to sync and which you don't.

Actually, the original Surface RT pretty much replaced my laptop most of the time. Yes it was a bit kludgy, slow, sometimes difficult to read and limited. I had to switch over to Word or ask people to convert documents for me (my office still uses WordPerfect) and a few other things. But it was...

But it won't sync to the cloud or my phone or other devices like OneNote? I can see that it's pretty, but otherwise, what's the point/benefit??

So I got my SP3 yesterday and planned to set the evening aside and do what I've always done when I bring home a new computer: remove bloatware, set it up, adjust settings, and in this case, install programs and apps from the Windows Store. In general, to get it working the way I wanted. About...

I had the same problem a while back, though in my case I suspected that liquid or debris (I'm sloppy and read my morning news and e-mail as I drink my tea and have breakfast). I cleaned it and tried other things but to no avail. Eventually I wound up buying a new one. That hurt at the time...

Thought not. Thanx.

Anyone know if a Dell Active Stylus (originally for the Dell Venue Pro 8) will work? I gave the Dell to my son and a few weeks later they sent me an upgraded stylus, but he didn't want it.

In spite of what I thought was good parenting, two of my college age daughters wanted Macbooks. so I just had one of them buy a SP3 for me at her college bookstore with the student discount and no sales tax. It'll be here in two days when she comes back home. After over two years I still have a...

It's really just a matter of deciding (hopefully before you buy) what your needs are. I got the RT the first day it came out and have been more than happy with it. Yes it has limitations but I knew I didn't need legacy x86 programs on the Surface. Its lightness and long battery life are exactly...

I just thought I'd post this in case it comes up for anyone. Two weeks ago my Surfact RT just stopped turning on. I'd press the power button every way I could think of and it just wouldn't turn on. The next day I went online to the MS Surface support page, put in my serial number and got...

I tried for months to get used to the touch cover and eventually did, but it's still no comparison to the ease and accuracy of the type cover.

MS needs one for Windows Phone 8 first. At least something that plays Xbox Music and recharges the phone at the same time.

News Republic is pretty good. Instead of choosing providers, you choose subjects and it draws from lots of sources.

To be clear, I wasn't saying that was how it will work, only asking. A post by Mary Jo Foley seems to say the contrary: "For those wondering exactly which apps will need to be reinstalled, it depends whether the tester is running Windows on ARM or x86. On Windows RT devices, it's the Windows...

If you don't know why you are buying a tablet or what it will do, Surface RT might be disappointing. But having looked into it fully before buying mine (on the first day out last year), I've found that it does everything I expected and need. The weight and battery life make it ideal for travel...

Is it possible that only the "preview" apps will have to be re-installed?: Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus explained that when the preview becomes available, Windows 8 and Windows RT users will receive a Windows Update notification. Once the preview OS is installed...

David Pogue's review in the NYTimes on the 23rd faulted the Surface for its lack of apps and said there was no NYTimes app, but today Tab Times reported MS had held back announcements of some apps and that NYTimes, Wall Street Journal, Wired and The New Yorker (as well as Tab Times and major...
