Is this normal?

[Telstar1948]

All joking aside, your SP3 isn't acting normally at all. The more you described what was happening, the less it sounded like it was your Surface (particularly after replacement) and more like it is some strange, and strong, EM interference going on.

Strange issues... don't take offense to this question, but have you used touch screens before? Because when my parents tried out my SP3 they would always fail miserably at getting touch responses - like they'd touch the screen and slide their finger as they did it, or didn't touch strongly enough to warrant feedback. It's amazing how mediocre in general older generations are with technology.

Is there a store near where you live where you can try another/other units?
have you taken the SP3 with you to another location?
