surface book

Microsoft and all of the reviews I've read are raving about this device's battery performance, but my experience has been far below expectations. Yesterday I clocked 7.5 hours from 100% charge to depleted. This included about 2 hours of YouTube streaming, 2 hours of web browsing with Edge, and...

The US Globalsat ND-100 GPS Dongle works great with my Surface Book. I am quite sure it will also work with the Surface Pro 4, since it also works with my Surface Pro 3. Plug and play. Mostly play. 1) Plug in the dongle to any USB port on the Surface Book or Surface Pro 4 or Surface Pro 3...

Was having issues with my Surface Pro 4 i5 128GB that I picked up last week. Keyboard wouldn't connect all the time, had to do the pull off and reinsert keyboard several times. USB port at times would disconnect my external drive when transferring pictures. The latest Firmware would not install...

I've gone through a bunch of resources online to figure out how to install Mint 17 Cinnamon along side Win10 on the surface book. From what I can tell it should be possible without major issues (outside of probably touch screen compatibility and maybe some other driver issues). I've been unable...

I have a Pawtec that never worked on my Surface Pro1 with win 8.1, only my older Win7 laptop. I put it on my BOOK, and just like Win8, it won't write and ejects a new disk in a second. Worse, my BOOK would reboot itself periodically while idle until I removed the device and driver from device...

Is there a way to login to Windows 10 with the Surface Book screen detached from the keyboard? The lock screen says press CTRL+ALT+DEL or Windows Button+Power Button. However there is no Windows Button and I can't get passed this screen to enter login information without attaching the...

I am new to Windows 10 and have the i7 SB with the SB Dock. I understand that the SB has a huge display and that it is scaled to 200% as it was shipped. I have an Hp 2311x monitor that I want to use with the doc. The issue is that when I connect, I cannot get the monitor to keep the...

Has anyone else tried to connect a 4k monitor via the new dock? Mine is not working unless I connect directly to the surface display port. FYI - you cannot connect a cable to the mini display port while the dock is connected. The dock plug covers 1/2 of the display port.

All of my previous sound devices on PC's had both a Mic Level and a Boost Gain setting. My new Surface book only has a Mic Level. Am I missing something? Are there any plans to return a Mic Boost setting in a future driver update? Is "Boost Gain" a figment of my imagination? I'd appreciate any...

I am a big fan of Surface, I own a Surface Pro 3, I convinced quite a few people to buy Surface and they love it. Now, do you want to buy Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, or not?
