    Can we start a positive thread?

    HD 4000 on the Surface Pro, good enough to game?

    Also I needed to lower settings from all low at 1080p to 900x1600 all low so it is smooth. The touch screen is a pain, so I need a mouse. Ran for about 3 hours on battery with these settings. That includes 2 20min waits though, because of their server issues. Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100...

    WHAT THE F***, From 21gb to 16 gb on restart of my Surface Pro

    Sounds like your hibernation or pagefile file. they're on the root of c and are hidden system files, and needed. Unless you turn off hibernation. Also shadow copies? I believe its called file history, not sure if its on by default. These all use around 6gb Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100...

    Buy pen locally?

    The Ms pen had right click button and eraser. I don't think there are really any other tablet pens that have all that. Somehow our case, pen and external drive went missing from our plane to the rental car. I think the refueler took it thinking the tablet was in it. Not sure Sent from my...
