    Massive let down so far.

    Right after buying my i5 I had to spend endless hours trying to fix different problems and annoyances with it (including the ill-famed random hibernation issue), so I feel you. The device works okay now, although Internet connection sometimes drops in Edge (!) after waking it from sleep. On the...

    Wobbly Kickstand?

    We have three Surfaces in my family, and they all do that. Maybe the angles change slightly, but I can confirm this to be normal for the series.

    How is the core m3 Surface Pro as a secondary PC?

    We have two m3s and an i5 in my family and no noticeable difference in performance with moderate browsing or Office-ying.

    Whadaya say? Marimekko Surface Pro Type Covers — yay or nay?

    Hell, why not. Certainly more original and appealing than the usual "wooden" or "metal" skins, and crap like that.

    Color profile not working on Surface pro 2017 after fall creator update

    You mean the Enhanced/RGB setting or something? Never been here in the first place, since purchase in summer 2017.

    We now have three Surface 5 devices

    Funny how the other day I posted a thread on another forum saying that I bought 3x SP 2017s (i5, m3, m3) and all of them had light bleed (in one case actually decolorizing buttons on the on-screen keyboard). Two came from the same chain, and one came from the Netherlands. Also, two of the three...

    Instant-On Feature

    My SP 2017 did wake after opening the "lid", but then an AnswerDesk guy reinstalled some drivers and re-imaged my device (thus fixing the auto-hibernate issue), and it does not work anymore. Shame really, because I liked the feature, and I hope it comes back with the updates to come.

    Surface Pro 2017 - what's with the sleep function?

    Nevermind, happened again today, probably due to the full reset made.

    Surface Pro 2017 - what's with the sleep function?

    Reinstalled battery drivers under Device Manager as per Reddit suggestions, and the CS draw now is about 0,5% per 30 mins, so the issue seems fixed.

    Surface Pro 207 not waking up from hibernate

    Good ol' bull**** problems characteristic of Surface line from what I've read. Anyone encountered it with the new 2017 model yet? I have, several times. Takes a hard reset to bring it back to life after hibernating sometimes. It really is dismaying to see MS deal with the same problems for so...

    Some "Backlight Bleed" issues actually a result of display stresses?

    Yup. Sony Xperia Z3, for instance, was known for its glass back cracking on its own. Count me as a witness.

    Vast screen difference between SP 4 and SP5 store units

    Yeah, I double-checked all those - adaptive brightness, night mode (which the mode looks more yellowish, by the way). It really just looked as bad as this, unbelievably. I'm not sure what to think about this. If I got a unit looking like this, I'd return it without even finishing the unboxing...
