Thought I'd start a thread after commenting on the "Disappointed but hopeful" thread about the lag issues in some apps, particularly the Mail app. I love the device and around the home it's fought over by me, wife and 3 year old daughter and it's replaced the laptop we had laying around for when ever we wanted to surf the Internet anywhere in the house.
I have noticed as others have noticed some apps lag, but I've noticed it happens once you have a few apps open and also when my wife is signed in with her account as well. So what I do is kill some apps, log my wife's account off and things start to improve. But I just wish MS had put 4GB of RAM in the Surface as this would've tidied up the device a fair bit. Maybe an update can improve things and how they are stored in the background but 4GB either way would have been good. But like I said still love the device and just wondering how others are dealing when you have multiple apps opened and even a second account signed in.
Also I have had a least 2 times where I couldn't turn the Surface back on after it went to sleep and I've had to hold the power button down for 10 seconds and then hit it a couple extra times to get it turn on again. I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of battery although once the battery was a little low but I hadn't yet received a battery low warning, but I'm wondering if this is kind of a crash from low memory. Anyone else had this issue?
