I had wondered why my battery life was low and the tablet got warm when browsing. I've not read up on browsers for a while though. Time to move away from Chrome it looks like!...

As the others have said. You cant damage your machine from gaming as it with throttle the CPU once it hits 80 degrees to keep the tempertature at that or lower. This will effect your experience though as your frame rates will drop dramaticly when the processor is throttled to cool it down. To...

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong my my understanding from researching in to SSDs is that defragging your SSD does nothing to improve the performance. It does how ever add several cycles to the sectors in question and as such reduces the lifespan of your device. How much it is reduced is...

I went and got the smaller medium sided Grid IT after seeing this. Its good to keep my charger attached to as I keep all my gadgets in a wicker hamper so that my GF doesnt complain about me making the place untidy. Now I just pull that out and I have my charger and mouse ready to go instead of...

Did this ever get released? I can find information about people who tried it at shows etc but nothing on release dates and compatable software etc. Was hoping to find news of more computer music programmes switching to touch screen friendly "lite" versions of their software in the future for...

Still getting to grips with the capabilities of my SP2 and am pushing it to be as effient a machine as possible.

Did you find any games in the end? Shame there isnt some kind of Mario Party equivalent. I'm sure there is a market for it for windows RT.

I run Witcher 1 enhanced edition on my SP2 (8gb ram) with no issues at 1366 x 768. The machine runs hot though. Your biggest issue with gaming will not be the machines peek performance but the fact that it throttles the CPU ones the temperature has hit threshold. To counter this I've...

You will get this with most emulators. Most of the android solutions at the moment are run using a virtual machine that emulates android hardwear rather than directly from your machine. This is processor intensive. I was running Andy emulator for a week or so an that would idle between 30-50%...

Isn't OneDrive free? I think you can open google docs within it. You could use that as an editing option instead of office. And all your studient should be able to open the file in OneDrive (its free on the google play store as well as on windows and mac i think) as well once you have put your...

SOLVED!!! :D Reduced the Turbo boost power max and short turbo boost power max to 15 and 18 W (instead of 17.5 and 25 W) respectively. Bench mark score reduced from 307 to 306. Max temp 78deg but averaged around 75deg during the tesing. 0 throttling. My peak performance is now reduced but my...

I'm considering attatching 2 heatsinks to the areas bellow the 2 exaust fans to draw more of the heat out and increase the rate of heat dispersion. The surface of the surface seems to get to about 55deg underload. Is this hot enough that a heat sink would make much of a difference? The ones im...

Only that it means that it throttles and lowers the max performance. The more I can having it running on turbo the better in my opinion. Those fans are really having to work hard.

Best Bluetooth travel option - Logitech T630. Small, can be paired to 2 machines. Gesture enabled. Best wifi dongle travel mouse - Logitech Anywhere MX. Works on any surface, great erganomics and several buttons. I have the later but have considered the T630 That Razor looks good though
