Thank you for your quick response. is that a system setting in windows for the keyboard waking the device? I use a messenger laptop bag to and from work so it will be in the laptop slot in the bag. I dont want to buy anything not necessary right away when I go to get it today, I appreciate everyone on this forum for all the help and advice, I want to get the basics today to be productive and use it to its potential while protecting it as well. I think I am set on the i5 256gb with 8 Ram as well, I think it should run Adobe CC fine and the price will allow me left over for a type cover and case. Does anyone know for an external HDD what the best format would be on for it to be able to transfer media files between a Mac at work and still access and work on the Photoshop files on the Surface as well.
