950, I actually like the look of the camera washer.

I'd go XL. The 950 has a better hand feel with the smoother lines, but the XL is different from anything else I'm using.

So I just discovered that Action Center has functionality to disable notifications for 1, 3, or 8 hours. I had been expecting something like this in a toggle on the drawer itself, but it's in a context menu that pops-up from a right click on the icon. But this is more interesting to me because...

So far I agree with you. The tablet mode is basically gone. I don't dig the new start screen at all. Decent enough as a start menu, but as soon as it's full screen it just isn't as nice as the old start screen. Hope we get some layout options when it goes GA.

My only big issue was fixed with another system update this evening - finally got the Intel HD Graphics driver from windows update. Other than the occasional little oddities that are to be expected of a TP like this, so far so good.

I finally got the update, too. Glad to have it fixed!

Exact same issue on SP3. If I find a fix, I'll let you know!

I installed on my SP3. Graphics performance is a bit bad, but otherwise it seems solid. I don't have VS installed, though. My SP3 is more of an entertainment / Office / Presentation machine, and all of that looks good. Need a better graphics driver, may go to the Intel website and see what...

Resolution is the thing to consider here, not display size. The SP3 drives a 2160x1440 touchscreen smoothly, so any external monitor with the same or lower resolution should be fine. I sometimes drive an external 1080p display and use the SP3 as an extended screen. Handles it pretty well...

No, I don't have any build issues as far as I've noticed. No screen gap. And I don't want to look for any - willful ignorance can be nice sometimes :) The phantom touches have been my only significant problem. Well, that and the type cover regularly acting like it's not connected until I...

MoJo - I think part of the reason this experience with MS has been so frustrating is that usually they've been fantastic. I haven't used support much, but back when the Xbox 360 had problems, they sent me a new one right away without much hassle. My SP3 power cord started fraying, I walked in...

My phantom touches are 100% Bluetooth related. With Bluetooth turned off, I have zero problems with my SP3. With it on, phantom touches happen regularly and only go away with a reboot or if I can get Bluetooth disabled. I tried with Bluetooth on and nothing paired, got phantom touches...

Hey david - not sure this is *the* fix, but I'd seen some reports online that the phantom touches could be bluetooth or Pen related. So last time the touches started, I just shut off bluetooth altogether. It's only been a day, but I've been phantom touch free so far. As a reminder, I'd been...

If I think about it I'll capture a video for comparison. This is the first I've seen this same complaint, too. Over on the MS support forums I found plenty of phantom touch mentions, but it looked much different than this from what I saw. If I come up with any resolution - other than the just...

Yes! I've had that exact same phantom touch happening since I bought the SP3 at launch. Initially, it would require a reboot once a week or so to get rid of it, so I didn't care. For the last couple of weeks, I've had to reboot multiple times a day to address it. Took my SP3 to the MS store...
