    SP4 - Advice for someone new to the brand - Yay or Nay?

    I've had none of the defects that others have remarked on except the poor battery life. Having said that, I think I was hypnotized by Microsofts promises of what the SP4 would be and having now owned it past my return window, I can say I wish I hadn't bought it. I would have been better served...

    Trade My Surface 4 Pro For An HP Spectre?

    Sorry...I didn't know how to categorize the post. I'm not selling or buying. I just wanted to gauge any interest in a trade.

    Trade My Surface 4 Pro For An HP Spectre?

    I've barely touched my Surface 4 Pro because it's just not right for the way I need to use a portable computer. It's an i5/8/256 and in like new condition. Would there be any interest in trading for an HP Spectre laptop with similar specs?

    Battery Drain While Turned Off

    Well, just this minute, I started up my SP4 after disabling fast start up a couple days ago. I find my battery is at 96% which is a heck of a lot better than before. So, for me, doing that one thing helped a lot.

    Battery Drain While Turned Off

    I've tried several times with and without what appear to be spaces in the command line and I keep getting an "invalid parameters" error.

    Battery Drain While Turned Off

    Thanks for that information. I'll try do do as you suggest later today. I wouldn't have an issue with 10% discharge, but after two days off the charger to see only a couple hours of battery left was disconcerting.

    Battery Drain While Turned Off

    I don't monitor this board every day and a previous discussion may have addressed this but I don't see it pop up typing the title. I don't use my i5/4/128 SP4 daily it might be a week before I find a need to turn it on, but when I do I find the battery has drained significantly. Now, I never use...

    Microsoft Display Dock For Windows Phone

    I simply decided the 950XL wasn't the phone for me and returned it.

    Returned the SP4 but not because of issues

    Shortly after my return window expired, I came to the conclusion that I would have been better served by a lightweight laptop at half the price...sigh.

    I suppose it's against forum rules to offer mine for sale

    Finally given up

    Pew research shows 46.5% of adults in the US rely on cell phones as their ONLY phone.

    Finally given up

    Lawyer boilerplate that has long since been eclipsed by technological progress. Considering the percentage of people who now rely solely on a cell phone, that warning seems quaint
