    EMBARASSING and APPALLING - That's what my Surface Pro 4 is.

    @Mikeman I don't think you understood what I said about the parts but that's ok. I'm happy for you and your company that you don't have any problems (except that you have to manually install drivers on 18 computers worth what? 30-40 thousand dollars?). I am unhappy for myself and all other...

    Lumia 950 XL Random Reboots

    Although it's very unpopular to say this at WC forums, MS is pretty clear that they don't want anything to do with Lumia line and they bet only on some mythical future paradigm shift. They don't make those phones anymore, they lower the prices constantly trying to get rid of them from stores...

    Lumia 950 XL Random Reboots

    Yes, that's exactly what I got. Supposedly genuine with "Microsoft" written, looks exactly like the one that came with my phone with one small difference. The batteries that come with the phone have the production date. The one I bought on eBay didn't. And as I said - it definitely looked used...

    Lumia 950 XL Random Reboots

    It might hold charge but still reboot because of battery. My battery problems started around the Anniversary Update so I thought it was the software issue. And maybe it was initially but then I found some posts about battery and started observing things a bit closer. My original battery at first...

    EMBARASSING and APPALLING - That's what my Surface Pro 4 is.

    Understandable but SP4/SB were massively defective in the beginning. And in the case of those devices I think recall would be more appropriate. This is very unfair and unprofessional to sell supposedly premium devices for a couple thousand dollars only to have them replaced with used ones with...

    EMBARASSING and APPALLING - That's what my Surface Pro 4 is.

    @Mikeman First of all, you called yourself IT Guru and a hacker and you regularly reinstall your OS and that's fine if you like it but no one reasonable can expect a person to spend $2900 like you did and go through all the hoops you just suggested to have his computer work. It's CRAZY...

    Should I get a Surface Pro 4?

    Oh, absolutely, it got even worse under the hood - many more errors in the event log. But, to be completely honest, they slowly do fix things, some of the problems are smaller or even fixed. But it takes a very very, unacceptably long time to do that. Just like from release in October it took...

    EMBARASSING and APPALLING - That's what my Surface Pro 4 is.

    And why would I want to disable fast boot? that's one of the selling point of SP4/Win10 - that they actually work ALMOST like Mac. You should be able to open the computer and work fast, not wait two minutes before the computer starts. The way I work is that I need to turn off or put my computer...

    Surface Pro 4 heating issue after Anniversary update

    No, it doesn't fix it. Most of the problems are still there. I still can't shut down or restart my Surface because it simply freezes and I have to hold down the power button for 10 seconds or so. The solution is to turn of the Fast Boot entirely. The freezing stops but it is very slow to turn...

    Should I get a Surface Pro 4?

    Don't get SP4. I've had it since February and it never actually worked as it should. First it had a lot of issues with sleep, display drivers, docking station, crashes etc. They gradually fixed it and by the end of July it worked ALMOST good but then they released the Anniversary Update which...

    Anyone else having issues with the Surface Dock not working with 2 screens?

    I have the same problem. I wonder if they fix all the Surface problems before new version is released or they will just give up

    3 Months with the 950XL (please respond with your experiences)

    "The best phone I have ever had" and then the litany of problems. What kind of phones did you have earlier? My goodness, trust me - there are phones that actually work... I am very disappointed with my Lumia 950XL. Incredibly unstable, every next build makes it even less stable, hard resets...

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I would go for 950XL. Why? Bigger screen, Gorilla 4, better CPU, bigger battery. And no compromises. It is the best thing created since the sliced bread

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I'm sure I'm not gonna win but if I were to be the lucky one for once in my life I would prefer Lumia 950 XL. Its bigger screen is hard to resist. Apparently it is better in performance and battery life, and in general it's just the superior model.
