The US do have the option of custom models (i.e. 16GB i5) but haven't seen any in the wild

Why? My guess is that there's a good amount of work involved and they've got their hands full

The surface book charger works on SP4: Buy the 65W Power Supply - Microsoft Store

Unless you live in Alice Springs or the Gobi Desert, that doesn't seem normal. Perhaps others.can comment on this: should Steve look for a replacement?

A lot of laptops do it, but that's beside the point. It must be doing something to drain 10% a day turned off. Hmm. Does it keep some sort of quick boot cache or something?

There's a case temperature sensor top right. Higher case temps cause throttling. Apparently simply holding your hand in the right spot can reduce case temp and cpu gets more power allowance. Yes, the Surface Pro 4 has thermal throttling... but not what you think • /r/Surface

And here's the result:

That's the time it will look at to measure average power. So at 28 it will review the last 28 seconds and if average is over power limit it will throttle. It's how responsive to change you want it. EDIT: quote fail, but you get the idea

Thanks verizonil, appreciate the feedback. Strange you know more about it than Microsoft itself

Odd I asked this very question on the Microsoft Store and was told by Microsoft Team that: "No, Surface Pro 2 is not compatible with the Surface Pro 4 Type Cover." Buy Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Type Cover - Microsoft Store EDIT: has anyone tried it?

Great question which I'd love to see an answer to

Thanks for sharing. It's surprisingly difficult to find surface pro 2 specific information.

Try turning off the automatic bittorrent service: https://grahamcluley.com/2015/08/windows-10-bandwidth-updates/ I'm not super confident it will fix your problem, but a good thing to do anyway imo

Fairly sure it was the latest firmware. I didn't install it (no issues I felt needed fixing) and still have the Intel options Unsure on fix. Rolling back driver may help, but I haven't tried so can't say it's safe. Installing latest direct from Intel may help, but again I have not tried that

If it's anything like the SP2, anywhere at or above 40% brightness reduces eyestrain a lot. I'm sure the SP3 is different, but I'd be surprised if 100% was the only sensitive eye friendly setting.

Thankyou Dr Bandito haha

Good tip. How much is 'slightly'? All chips are different, but nice to have a reference. Does the Intel XTU have stability testing?

The Targus pads look like they would help: Cooling | Targus | Targus Unfortunately they're designed to have device sit on them, rather than attach. Velcro could be an option; depends what sort of artist you are! Here's some "lap-desk" type options for you to consider (really depends how you...

Hmm, looks like they have moved things around. As cdf3 says, need to go to the desktop Ease of Access Centre (ironic really) then 'make touch tablets easier to use' at the bottom

I'd go to the Windows Store, swipe from the right for settings and check for updates. Windows Store / Metro / Modern UI applications don't always auto update, at least on my machine Not all that likely to help, but worth checking
