Microsoft Surface 2/pro[views:31333][posts:88]__________________________________________________________ [Nov 19,2013 1:40pm - DYA is THE SECOND COOLEST DARTH ""] the_reverend said:that is cool to hear. I can't wait for the docking station so I can connect to my two 23" monitors. All I read was "something something docking". Glad to see, RTTP's been really light on snoodling content these past few years. |

It clearly still held a charge, because the Cover 2 still lit up when plugged into it. I've returned it and they're shipping me a new one under warranty. Service has been good on that. But just thought I'd throw it out there that apparently this is a thing that can happen. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 22,2013 2:05pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, somethings have up to a 10% burn out rate. My surface2 turned off and then wouldn't turn back on, but I think that was cause the battery died. Tom (rustedangel) just got the 512GB version. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 22,2013 2:06pm - the_reverend ""] Also, you could have driven to the microsoft stores and they would help you. There is one in the burlington mall and the salem nh mall. not sure where else. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 22,2013 5:53pm - the_reverend ""] just for the future. Also, I found a bug that kills me. If you are in portrait mode and you try to use the search charm, it doesn't pop up the OSK. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 16,2013 12:10pm - the_reverend ""] Oh I got the docking station and it's got limitations and all, but it's pretty awesome. They should have used a special DOCK connection of some sort so the dock could have better speeds. I would love to have 1) 2 display connections instead of displayport 1.2 changing (which none of my current monitors do) 2) a gig ethernet port (it's only 10/100 for some reason) 3) firewire which is basically impossible. (I really really really need firewire and have to keep a shitty laptop for use with one of my scanners cause of that) The other issue is an issue with win8 and HDPI screens mixing with 72dpi screens. Legacy apps and even MS apps don't see to deal very well with it. So my screens look sort of odd. The smoothing/sizing is just off and odd. Maybe I need to look for clear type settings. I must say last week ruled though. I had my surface pro 2 with me all week. I took it off the charger on tuesday night and then didn't charge it again until the weekend. I used it a bunch on my couch while sick and it was at 50% battery friday night when I plugged it back in. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 16,2013 12:11pm - the_reverend ""] I would also get the Power Cover, but the keys are backlit... which blows my mind. MS is fucking up! |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 16,2013 12:13pm - the_reverend ""] I might go to the MS Store and see if they can do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171198 cause my pen is way way way off. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 22,2014 2:04am - the_reverend ""] I'm looking at using my surface2 as a second display bennyhillifier this shows you how to connect as a second display and to get rid of the recovery partition. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 22,2014 11:40am - xmikex ""] In case there is a single person left alive who hasn't heard me bitch about this; the Surface 2 was the biggest piece of shit I ever had the displeasure of buying. No app support. Has all the processing power you need to be effective yet can't do anything. Slow browser that crashes constantly. Also even without a full windows environment takes such liberator as interrupting your work to shutdown and update, and randomly installing 20 min worth of updates when you're trying to shut down and go home at 11:00 at night. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 22,2014 12:35pm - ark medæval times ""] yeah, the app store is garbage. there are vlc media player knockoffs that are $15 bucks. microsoft store = toilet store. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 27,2014 1:54pm - the_reverend ""] So I went to the M$ store to look at the SP3 and get my SP2 looked at. The trackpad keeps not working. Anyhow, I played with the SP3 and that thing is amazing. I want the i7 version hard hard hard. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 3,2014 11:32am - Daily Insights ""] Since the NSDAP is fundamentally based on the principle of private property, it is obvious that the expression "confiscation without compensation" refers merely to the creation of possible legal means of confiscating when necessary, land illegally acquired, or not administered in accordance with the national welfare. It is therefore directed in the first instance against the Jewish companies which speculate in land. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 3,2014 1:53pm - the_reverend ""] So, I've been getting like under 2hrs on a charge... the pen is unusable for anything an inch around the boarder... the trackpad keeps not working... it always turns on in my bag... So I went back to the store and they are giving me a new one. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 3,2014 8:33pm - the_reverend ""] Damn it! I wiped my surface out and they handed me a brand new one. I pulled the stand up and it was a surface pro 1! Not 2! So I had to send my 2 in and they are mailing me a new 2. That means I ha e no surface for a while. |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 13,2015 9:26am - the_reverend ""] I came back to this thread. Still loving my surface pro 2. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 13,2015 9:36am - Alx_Casket ""] Welcome back. |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 14,2015 8:51am - the_reverend ""] yeah, I heard that the NFL got surfaces. makes perfect sense. The Surface pro 3 is pretty much what the SP line up should have been the whole time. I know the battery is going to go on this unit that I have here at some point in the next year. If it does, I doubt the amex warranty will pay for the new battery. They will probably just give me the money back and I will get the SP3 or SP4. Right now, you are seeing more and more players come into the market. A lot of people hated win8, but on a tablet, with a touch screen, it's pretty much the bomb. I'm hoping the win10 hybrid start menu works well and that they don't completely ditch the tiles/metro. I like being able to split my screen between the app that I'm using and my desktop. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 22,2015 9:08am - the_reverend ""] the Surface Pro 4 is being announced on Oct 6th! |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 22,2015 12:26pm - the_reverend ""] the surface pro 4 and the surface book look awesome. I'm thinking of getting one of them to consolidate my laptop and my surface pro 2 into one unit. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 22,2015 12:28pm - the_reverend ""] it's a big money commitment. I'm going to wait for the reviews. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 22,2015 12:52pm - Alx_Casket ""] Reviews look good but I'm hoping it drives down the prices on the lenovo yoga 3 pro because I want a larger screen. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2015 1:30pm - the_reverend ""] I was looking at the 4K dell 15.6", but the reviews are terrible. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 22,2015 3:11pm - Alx_Casket ""] yeah I saw that too |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 3,2015 8:46am - the_reverend ""] http://mashable.com/2015/11/03/microsoft-k...-BD-Synd-Pulse-Ticker-#eAy7zwdrpEqP looks like I won't be getting this now. lame. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 3,2015 8:55am - Alx_Casket ""] Ugh that's fucking bullshit. I have the free plan now and 5gb isn't even worth remembering a password over. The cloud is a lie! |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 3,2015 1:52pm - the_reverend ""] yeah... |
