SP3 Type Cover making cracking sound

[Mathias Lindberg]

I'm not sure a power cover is needed. At least not with the SP3 or possible SP4. I had a power cover for my SP1 and though it did extend my battery life significantly, the weight made it almost not worth it. Even with Windows 10, I'm getting pretty good battery life on my SP3.

I would like to see a Chiclet style keyboard though. I believe they work better and have a better feel to them. My opinion though.

At 50% the Surface Pro 3 lasts me about 6 hours doing web brosing and using Word. It's not very optimal, but if I plug it in at school, I can charge it to full in 1-2 hours from 50%, even while playing a game and doing other things that would reduce the battery from 100% to 0% in 2-3 hours.

I would also prefer a chiclet style keyboard. The current one isn't too bad, but I make mistakes more often and I can't feel where I am on the keyboard quite as easily.
