    Optimizing For Better Photoshop Sketching

    I'm an Industrial Designer and just got my SB last week (i7 / 512GB / 16GB RAM). Previously I did my digital sketching on a Wacom Cintiq attached to my laptop.

    Hi all, I purchased my SB i7/256/8 4 months ago. While it was buggy when I first got it, most issues seemed to have worked themselves out through updates. This morning before leaving for work, I noticed that the rear has a prominent bulge centering around Windows logo - it had been on for...

    Bent Surface Book clipboard! WTF?

    I always took great care of my Surface Book, it is always either in my laptop case, on my laps, or on a desk. Today I was writing on OneNote as usual, then noticed something strange, a gap that is on the top right (when I portrait mode). I took a look and it scared the shit out of me, the entire...

    Surface Book Clock Incorrect

    I'd read about this issue for the various Surface 2 and 3, but not for the Book. Did Microsoft not correct this problem for the Book? And how can I? I can't find another post here that discusses this issue. I feel I've missed part of my day, because the clock's been 45 minutes behind, and...

    So relatively recently (1-2 months ago) I bought a Surface Pro 4, which I love. I would have bought a Surface Book, but they weren't available at the time - I am in New Zealand. Now they're available on a student deal, and I have a friend who'd be interested in buying my SP4. My SP4 is an i5...

    Solved Surface Book Pen - eraser clicks but no writing

    Got an issue where my surface pen can open one-note, etc with the eraser button, but I am not able to use the pen to write. When I first powered on the device, my pen was in my suitcase and I skipped the first setup/pen pair process. Not sure if that is the core of my issue, but figured I...

    As a new Surface buyer (Surface Pro 4 -- i5 8G 256 lot#1541), I cannot believe how long it has been for veterans of both this website & the Microsoft Community website, to share, ask & wait for a Pen Customization solution from Microsoft. :mad: Ever since the pen came about with the Surface...
