Personally I don't use SP3 for gaming. I tried installing FM2015 on it and the fan starts to kick in after a short time (I am playing it in a non air-cond room). After few trials, I finally gave up and not playing it anymore.
Besides the heat issue, playing FM on the small screen doesn't really as that enjoyable as well in my opinion.
But this might be just me, different person different preference.
Just for your reference, cheers.  nod.gif

if it can't play FM then no point to buy doh.gif

cause that's the number one reason to get it.
by the way would getting higher spec be better instead for FM?

other usages can be settled with a decent spec android tablet.

Hi all, did some research on SP3 heating issue. Apparently, i3 doesn't seem to have much heating issue in compared to i5 and i7 and fan doesn't kicks in often. Any i3 users can confirm about this? If yes, then gonna upgrade from atom to i3. http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/threads/sp...-and-fan.63593/

Try to look at lazada, best price with cover is around RM3088.

Can't really comment on the battery life yet, as I upgraded during weekend and usually my sp3 just sit on the docking station on the weekend. Will see the battery life over this coming weekdays.

Performance wise, I would say not bad, if not better than win8.1, but the fan does kick in more often.
Microsoft Edge crashes quite often too. But I have been just used it like 2 days, so maybe some of the points here might not be accurate.  tongue.gif

Microsoft Edge crash a lot? That's not good man. Hope they will fix it in upcoming updates.

I think FM should be playable especially older editions. It has been a while since I last played any FM but based on the response it is actually playable.

But the experience might not be the same due to screen size. Plus the heat, you might want to monitor that. If gaming is the main reason you are looking for Surface, you might want to reconsider your purchase.

And I think FIFA is out of question already.

Yes, i3 fans doesn't kick in quite as often simply because it is a lower performance thus generating less heat.

I'm also looking for sp3, the cheapest I can found in lazada, but not sure is it trustworthy. Some lowyat pc store like viewnet do have 10% discount, even most of the aeon also have 10% discount.

As far as I can recall, FM also has 3D graphics nowadays... that's what makes me not so sure...

and also, you mentioned "football simulator" which means it's CPU intensive. pretty sure even i3 can execute the calculations without no problems but will the cooling be adequate is another story.

combined both CPU and GPU task? well, you should know what kind of heat we could be dealing with...

Anyone know if we can set the Windows 10 on the SP3 to open an APP whenever I boot up and login?

I am using the Minima List app as a to-do checklist so that it will open the app for me to check what to do and what already done everytime I boot up my SP3 and login to Windows 10.

Any idea?

Thanks.

You can use the startup folder for that.

just place a shortcut to the application inside the startup folder and the application will launch every time your SP3 is booted up.

If you need more advance config when the application to be launched, you'll need Task Scheduler.
