I moved from a mid 2010 MacBook Pro to a i7/256, then a i7/512. Get the highest spec you can afford. Less stress on CPU = less throttling. I use mine for Lightroom and Photoshop and rarely get any throttling.

My two SP3's installed OK, but touch screen is like... not working, any touch has a delay of 10-15sec!!! Trackpad and keyboard ok.

It's a known issue that MFP and Microsoft are 'working on it' - according to an email I received (re the same issues as you) I received about two weeks ago. My band synced with Windows Phone app seems to show roughly the right amount of calories I have burnt, but instead of adding them it takes...

Is this on the phone, the Headset, or are you expecting to be able to make/take calls on the band?

Submersion is a no no.

The 640 kcal was your estimated burn since midnight (even if you don't wear for sleep), plus you small amount while making coffee.... We burn energy sleeping, the metrics are estimated using your height, weight, age.

Installed, didn't work ('loading' for most of the day, removed, back to 8.1. Phew.

A few minutes? Or a long time? They are different. Mines at loading for 10minutes and counting. Worked it out. Mine appears to be downloading apps. Managed to get out of the loading screen using task manager and lot's of apps 'pending'...

Always, always, always buy the most powerful/largest storage device you can get/afford. More powerful CPU (say an i7) means it will be working at a lower capacity than the i3. How often do you hear someone complaining that a computer is too powerful, or has too much storage? "Buy low price -...

Depends if you afford it - compared to say an Apple watch ;-) - that only works with an iPhone. I have had a couple of Samsung Gears and hated them - they didn't work well and required a Samsung phone. I love my band, it works well for a Gen1 device and works (to various degrees) with Android...

Have you asked over at the MSDN?

True, it needs a combination of hardware and data collection. It then depends on if Microsoft write a decent app, or let developers (like me) do it. I have not studied the band SDK, but develop on all three phone platforms (less on Android/iOS and more on WP/W10). As a developer it doesn't...

Microsoft had plenty of other wearables to rip apart and test before they launched the Band, so I'm not convinced it is/was a test device. I had the original Samsung Gear. No sooner had I learnt how to use it and another one came out! Having been 'bitten', I was VERY hesitant to buy a Band -...

If you have a coach ( I assume a real person), for Crossfit, then one can assume your level of fitness is above what the band is designed for. You might be better looking at a Polar RCX5, HRM, GPS module - or any other similar system. Working out your goal is 1st priority.... to get fitter...
