Thanks everyone - yeah, called Microsoft and they're going to send me a new one, no trouble at all. Hopefully it'll get here quick. :D My wife has a a brand spanking new iPad from her work, and I can tell she's got a touch of the jelly for my new work tablet. :p Side-by-side apps is pretty...

I bought it for taking notes in meetings, making basic sketches, browsing the internet, writing emails, reading PDF documents, listening to music and watching Netflix. ...dunno why I'd want a tablet to run legacy apps. I've got a laptop and a desktop to do stuff like that.

Tried doing a full reset, it said there was something missing and couldn't do it. I'm sending this unit back for an exchange - I bought two of them on fleabay, one for my business partner and one for me - and one gave me all of these problems (by the way, thanks everyone for all the tips, I've...

...and when I say the battery won't charge, I mean it won't stay ON when I pull the power cable.

After all that, the battery won't charge. Totally rethinking this purchase.

Restarted about a half dozen times, following the massive download and installation. BSOD, then restarted, then installed updates, then restarted. Battery wasn't charging, had the little red x next to the icon. Restarted, that went away. Went back to updates, it says there are more, I click...

LOL - took forever to dl that firmware update, and when it finally finished and I hit "restart", it said, "Installing update 1 of 70" - woooow, SEVENTY?? yikes. Well fingers crossed - I think I may have found the culprit! :grincry: Can't wait to put this thing to use, gorgeous screen and...

Got my MS account on! Once date and time was manual, that solved that and the windows activation. FINALLY after several dozen tries I got a firmware update to come up in windows update. Downloading now, hopefully that'll solve the issues. Bought two of these for my small business, hope my...

Got Windows to activate by changing the date and time manually to be correct. ...still won't connect to store or update. SMH.

Just bought a refurb surface 2 on the advice of an article here, good site - and seems like a great device, but NOTHING WORKS. When setting it up, I couldn't use my Microsoft account, it made me create a local account instead. When I logged in, I tried to check for updates, but that didn't...

Seriously? I'm the only one who's ever had this problem? FML... :(

A few months ago, the camera in my 920 crapped out, and I got it replaced by ATT as it was still under warranty. ...and the new phone has been great! For the most part. About two weeks after I got it, I had a day where the battery suddenly died midday, unusual for a 920, especially a new one...

Hey, that's really good! I like the UI of that, when I get a Tablet (IF I get a tablet, I'm afraid the jury is still out), that's gotta be one of my first grabs.

So, I just built a new workstation/desktop to replace my aging iMac. I'm not a stranger to Windows, just been using Macs more, and for longer. I also have a Win7 laptop. I love the UI, the computer is snappy, clean, and very stable thus far, barring a few little issues that needed to be...

920, Skinomi screen protector only. I work in a wood and metal shop doing product development, prototyping, and small-scale manufacturing. I drop it often. I beat the hell out of it. It needs no case. I've even intentionally tossed it over my shoulder onto a brick floor because I'm simply...
