Found the source of the problem in this article: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3272289/microsoft-windows/surface-pro-2017-owners-hitting-win10-1803-update-blue-screens-now-we-know-why.html It says: " Later in the thread, eljeffe58 says his brand-spanking-new Surface Pro 2017 has an ...

My brand new i5/8GB/128SSD Surface Pro won't install the new 1803 update. The initial error I got was 0x0000005. There was another error later that I forgot to jot down (there was a 9 in there). Things I've tried: - Create a boot USB and do a clean reinstall. When I tell Windows to restart...

I got that model this week. Best part: batch 1814, no lightbleed issues! (The 1749 batch of i5's they had lying around DID have lightbleed). Worst part: I can't get it to install the 1803 update. :(

Considering getting the exact model you have, since I can't find a Surface Pro without lightbleed here in the Netherlands. Aren't you worried about not future-proofing it with 16GB of RAM?

Thanks for all the great replies. I would have been using a Surface Pro now, if I could find one without the big, fat lightbleeding bar at the bottom of the screen. All units I have seen have it. Now considering a base SB2 or a Surface Laptop, really.

Any word on screen brightness? I liked pretty much everything about the Yoga 720, I just found the screen unbearably dim. Like, constantly wanting to up the brightness and not being able to.

Since I can't find a SP without lightbleed here in the Netherlands, I'm considering opting for the SB2 as well, instead. Which model did you get? It feels kind of weird to get an i5/8GB/256SSD on what's potentially a beast of a machine. If MS announces a new SP I'd be all over that, though.

Hi everyone, I'm in the market for a new laptop and I've left Apple behind for now. I've settled on a light, Windows 10 Ultrabook. My favorites seem to be the Dell XPS 13 or the HP Spectre x360 13 (or even the Elitebook x360 G2). I'm a business user: most of work is done from my browsers, my...

I'm in the same boat exactly. I just bought an AC000ND under the impression that the pen came with it, it does NOT. Now trying to find out which pen. Otherwise I'm glad with the 13". Not too big, stylish... yeah.

I was recently considering picking up a new Macbook and an iPad together vs picking up a Surface Pro. After messing with the iPad and the stylus I was unconvinced of the writing experience. I tried it on a few machines in the store - all of them lagged. SP seems much nippier.

That's an interesting issue you've raised here. I ordered a silver skin from ebay, for the simple reason I can't have cartoons on my nSP (it's what I use for my consultancy work). I was tempted to get a Batman skin, tough... Anyone seen a skin in the Cobalt Blue of the type cover? I'd go for...

Yup, that actually does help! Thanks for the effort man. I consder that level of fan noise to be totally acceptable for gaming / heavy tasks. It's just that I don't want to hear a fan when sitting on the couch watching Netflix or somesuch. In any case, actually getting one of these is a huge...

This is literally the first review for this machine I could find. I just returned a nSP i5/8Gig/256SSD this week. It was slow as heck, probably a faulty unit. I also wasn't as pleased as I thought with the kickstand and the vulnerability of the magnesium body caught me off guard (takes...

Indistinguishable, Dear sir, why would Dan not respond on his very own "Ask Dan" forum? But you're right otherwise, hopefully the community will jump in! I read both articles before posting here, of course. I can't make up my mind. I talked to a sales rep (independent supplier) today and he...
