I'm not seeing much of anything about Tablet Mode improvements. What are your experiences with the fall update's improvements? Would you recommend it conclusively over 8.1 now for us tablet users?
Only installed it last night so I only played with it a few hours so far, but it seems to have fixed the issue of constantly requiring a password even though I set it to not lock at all.
Also, holding it in portrait in tablet mode, you now have the option of 4 tiles across instead of just 3. Having just 3 across was kinda silly especially with the 3:2 ratio screen.
I purchased the Surface 3 for 500.00. !50€ was the asking price for the keyboard so I didnt buy that, I bought the old keyboard for 50€ and the pen also for 50€.
My Surface 3 is a secondary device to use quickly rather than use my large gaming Asus ROG lap top that is connected to my TV.
I would have to think very hard indeed before I spent 1100€ plus 50€ for the new Surface pro 4 i5 as for that sort of cash one can purchase some serious quality far superior specified lap tops for that kind of cash!
When Microsoft introduce a new Surface 4 I would consider it but the Surface Pro 4 is serious cash and impinges on the territory of some serious lap tops with uber specs! The Surface Pro 4 i7 is nearly 2,000€ ....mmmmmm
Just some food for thought, Ryland.
That's assuming that you are OK with the poorer tablet experience compared to 8.1, which I am because it is a more cohesive OS overall.
And there it is. What I was afraid of. *sigh*
I use my S3 90% as a tablet, so that's a big deal for me. I haven't upgraded it because of hearing how much lesser of a tablet experience it is, but I was hopeful that would be improved in short order. It doesn't sound like TH2 did much to improve that. Unfortunate.
Between TH2 and the recent firmware update, my Surface 3's battery life does seem to be dramatically improved over the original firmware and Win10 RTM build that it came with.
