    How to max out your CPU all the time (no throttling).

    When I was testing an i3, the temperature rarely got above 62C with anything I did and I wasn't using the program you recommend. The CPU also stayed at 1.50 most of the time. I found that the i5 actually cooled down quicker than the i3.

    Availability Surface Pro 2 256 GB

    I just got my SP2 256GB and I live in the U.S. What I did was to go to Nowinstock (Google it) and set up an alert for the SP2. When I got the alert after 2 days, I bought mine from the Microsoft online store.

    Hey, has anyone noticed an improvement in the calibration of the pen with these new drivers? I have. The calibration routine is only 4 points, but it is much better in my limited use.

    Stylus with eraser?

    No, he didn't ask about an S-Pen but he did ask for a recommendation for a stylus with an eraser and based upon my experience with a Surface Pro and an S-Pen with eraser, I gave him mine. The S-Pen with eraser works just fine with the Surface Pro.

    Problem with browsers on Surface Pro

    This happened to me because I had installed Chrome and set it to be the default browser. When that happens, IE won't open in Metro UI anymore.
