Hi forum,
I wanted to share with you just how excellent a brand new Surface Pro 3 i5 8GB RAM works.
All updates up to mid-November (at that time up to date) were installed. I had several restarts. I contacted support, but no one was able to help.
A short description of what can be seen in the video
1. It was impossible to close a tab, because the pointer would drift away to the opposite. See video. Yes, I can use the finger (or CTRL-W for that matter). No, that is not a solution for a 1400 Euro product.
2. The sensitivity of the pen is horrible. It works decent, if you apply quite a lot of pressure. In the video you can see I am having trouble highlighting stuff. This is not acceptable.
3. Writing is a pain. If you write quickly you will (very) frequently miss the first few millimeters of your letters. This is due to the missing sensitivity and produces horrific results. This is not actually shown in the video, but the reason for this problem is seen, so I thought I might as well add this.
Needless to say this product has gone back to the store. I was (and still am) disappointed and conclude that Microsoft still has a long way to go to make this a decent piece of hardware. Maybe the SP4, or 5?
The idea is great, but this is not ready. I cannot recommend a Surface Pro 3 i5 256GB SSD to anyone.
However, different people think differently. Which is a good thing.
PS: Yes, the title is pure irony. The rest -unfortunately- isn't.
