    Stuttering video won't stop

    Tried it...didn't work... I started from scratch but here I am again, same issue. I'm starting to think that MS just cannot make a device that can really double as productivity tool and entertainment. Most people I know when they work and travel have a few movies they bring along with them...

    10.5" iPad Pro to Surface Pro 2017

    I just switched 2 months ago from iPad Pro 10.5 to latest Surface Pro. The ONLY reason I did that was my company is using advanced features in Excel (slicers) that you cannot get in the ios version and we were told would not be coming to Office for ios within the next year or so. I owned...

    Stuttering video won't stop

    I recently purchased the newest version of Surface Pro in January of this year. So far, I have been very happy with it across the board. Battery has been excellent and I have not experienced many if any issues. That's far different than the Original Surface Book I bought and subsequently...

    Surface Pen not working after latest update

    Updated yesterday on Version 1709 for Windows insiders. When I click my pen top, it does what it is supposed to (brings up my Windows Ink Workspace. When I double click it does a screenshot and opens OneNote. That part is perfectly fine. But it will not actually WRITE or respond when...

    Hey Microsoft!!! Fix your Surface Book before it dies!

    100% agree with this. My issue is that when I move the screen back and forth, the keyboard is unresponsive for 10-15 seconds. I have cleaned the connectors, tried everything. NO FIX Tired of this BS

    4/19 firmware & driver updates

    Updated all...then, looked and it says 6 of them failed. However, when I scrolled down to look at the list of all the updates, those that it said failed at the top say they were installed correctly. Also, every single time I move my screen, the keyboard is unresponsive and at times, makes a...

    How scratch resistant?

    I must have had something in my bag because I have a 2 inch long fairly deep scratch on the lid. My bag is lined so that it wouldn't do that but there's no other way it could have happened. Oh well.

    are all Surface books as unreliable as mine?

    Anyone that has no issues with their SB should consider themselves fortunate. Also, I'd be curious on something. Those that do NOT have issues, when did you purchase your device? Was it 1 month after the SB was released or did you get it on release day? Two weeks? 2 months? I got mine...

    Firmware update 1/27/2016 on Surface Book - new nvidia driver

    I went to the Nvidia home page and discovered, by running an auto scan on my laptop, that I did NOT have the right updated driver. The 12/3 version is not the most recent. It might be the one that MS forces, but the new one is dated 1/22/16. I downloaded it and it works perfectly fine.

    Surface Book - A very expensive mistake for me

    I hate to break it to everyone, but there's no way all these issues are software related. No way. We've been had. Period. Battery life is 1/2 of what was advertised, constant freezes and failures of the hardware itself. Software is buggy. This is a disgrace. Total disgrace. Never again MS...

    Surface Book as a Tablet

    Agree with all of this comment. MS worked out all of the kinks? I'd like what the guy is having. My issues, and many others on the MS website forum, still include: 1. Battery Drain when in sleep (100% to 85% overnight and sometimes worse) 2. Battery Drain when fully powered off!! (100% to...

    Anyone else getting bad battery life?

    I am getting between 6-8 hours of use. I have the i5 with dGPU. Screen brightness is left between 50-75%. I don't do gaming. I use it for Office, Email, and when traveling, I watch movies downloaded from the store. Ironically, I get really good battery life watching movies. I watched two...
