Coolbriz Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Anyone using Microsoft Surface Pro? The recent MS Office update is driving me crazy as it makes the stylus pen rather useless. Anyone also feels the same? Waiting for the team to revert back the function. Quote Be cool, like a breeze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjuicetiger Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 anyone planning to get surface pro 2017? not sure if they have fixed some of the more recent issues over at SP4 as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbriz Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ya because of that I have moved on to other brands although I would say it's a pretty cool device to use less those annoying issues. Quote Be cool, like a breeze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncoin Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I was recently given one in the goody bag at an event. I spent about 10 minutes with it. Hardware wise, it is pretty good. But Windows is so confusing to me after decades of not using it. Probably going to use it as a glorified photo frame to play vacation slide shows in the office. Quote Love.

Cheezehotdog Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 rubbish, all their new updates reducing the functionality that was promised with the surface. waste of money for over promised tools which are phased out as quickly as windows updates. clearly there's no communication between the teams in microsoft.

Trico Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm using SP4 and still loving it so far. Been using it for about a year. Only complaint is that the button on the stylus doesn't work (It doesn't impact my work much tho). Other than that, it's the best device I've ever used.

thorzguy Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 It happened to my friend and his business partner. They gotten the MS Pro 3 & 4. Of late, the battery on Pro 3 can be drained flat within 20mins. (Fully charged at office and drive home - battery flat). Tried charging and it gets very hot. Is like a total dead battery. Happened a couple of times and it was sent in to service centre (extended warranty). MS got back to them - motherboard spoilt. Now, the Pro 4 battery also seems to drain off the battery fast, at times. Just to share, nothing against MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also offered my friend to get the MS Pro 4 at $200 (but much lower specs than his Pro 3). No doubt it seems like a good deal, but my friend have already gotten a replacement laptop, thus this Pro 3 becomes just a back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SurfaceGuest Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Im still using ms pro 3 for 3 years already. Not much issue so far. Planning to go for the 2017 soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc0805 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I use sp4 for work. Whenever the pen stops functioning, I would have to unplug the charging cable and wait a bit before trying again. I think the issue is overheating the device. Anyone has the same problem? That said, sp4 is still better than sp3. The pen for sp3 is totally erratic. Also, navigating windows 10 is a pain. Anywhere I can attend a course on this? Mac experience is definitely better.
