    How to configure Fall Creators Update with Android Microsoft Launcher

    I'm using a Galaxy Note 8 with Surface Pro 2017. I've got the Microsoft Launcher on the Note 8, and upgraded to Fall Creators Update on the Surface Pro. I can now continue on PC from a file on my Note 8. But I don't believe I'm getting all the functionality. In the Windows 10 Settings page...

    Should I buy the Surface Dial?

    Other than the desktop keyboard (I use compact Logitech Bluetooth because I want a small keyboard), I have all the same kit you do, and faced the same question. I decided it wasn't worthwhile for two reasons. First, the compatible apps list is pretty minimal and I see no new ones being added -...

    Miscellaneous Use Questions for New Surface Pro 2017

    Same... and I don't notice it getting warm when its not docked or charging, so I'm wondering if most of the heat is coming from battery charging.

    Miscellaneous Use Questions for New Surface Pro 2017

    I believe the decals will effect its cooling, but not a huge amount. I'm sure at least one person on this forum will completely disagree with me, so you have at least two views probably. When I have the type cover removed, I'm either holding it in my hands (I don't find it slippery at all), or...

    Agree with you on this. We don't need any more people holding up tablets to take pictures!

    my new skin for my Surface Pro!

    I didn't say the case was the ONLY thing cooling it down, but it is part of the design. Calling me ridiculous isn't changing the facts. I'm not arguing with you any more, so you can have the last word.

    my new skin for my Surface Pro!

    Well I think you might need to talk to the engineers. While it comes out the vents, it also dissipates through the case. All you need for confirmation is to hold one and see that it gets warm/hot... no engineers required. Things that get warm/hot are dissipating heat, and by definition a heat...

    New Surface pen worth it?

    I don't find the magnet/clip thing to be a problem. I've been using it now for almost 3 months. The magnet is very strong and carrying it around without a case it sticks fine. When I put it in my Everki bag, I put it in a sleeve first that has a slot for the pen and Surface Arc mouse. But...

    Any photographers using Surface Pro?

    I just did a whole shoot on the nSP and it went very well. I took about 1800 pictures over 2 days, shooting RAW on a 7D2, mostly with the 100-400 IS II. I first copied the SD card to a PNY 480GB portable elite SSD (this thing is tiny) via a USB3 SD card reader. I had both attached via a...

    What Exactly Is This For?

    New Surface pen worth it?

    The latency of the new pen is lower, so it is a smoother inking experience. Whether its worth it is a personal choice. I went with the one and just bought silver since it is attached to the silver part of the nSP when stored.

    10.5" iPad Pro to Surface Pro 2017

    Its kind of apples vs. oranges, no pun intended. My thoughts on the apps you mentioned: - Netflix - the Win10 app works great in tablet mode, just as good as iOS. It also can do downloads and play disconnected or in other countries. - Amazon - there is no Win10 app for this, so its browser...

    LOL... I think I may have the same problem with mine as you do.

    Issue in Screen

    I can't really tell from your picture what it is you are saying is wrong because I just see you with your camera in the reflection. But if it has a defect, I expect they will replace it. Given all the "backlight problem" returns I'm hearing about, they don't seem to have a high threshold for...
