Finally spent a day with my SP4. Here's my report on the battery.
It took me 2 hours to charge full 100%, around 2pm was fully charged for me.
I started using it to watch youtube for around 40 minutes while browsing other stuff, then I tried Steam In Home Streaming Fallout 4 and Rayman Legends for around 20 minutes. I downloaded a few games in steam that took me around 2 ~ 3 hours+. I then played some games for awhile, browsing stuff and just doing casual stuff. From fully charged 2pm, I used it until around 3am midnight, with the mixture of brightness low and power saving mode. Of course in between the 13 hours I got rest for awhile.

What type of steam games you play on your sp4?

Can anybody comment on the 2gb ram found in Surface 3? Will it cause any lags along the way?

Bought a new and sealed Surface 3, but once I registered the serial number I realized the technical warranty has expired and the hardware warranty will expire on 6/11/16. The seller says the Surface has a 1 year warranty with Microsoft Malaysia. Can anyone confirm this?

And should I upgrade it to Win 10?

64gb/4gb model

I almost bought a used SP3 before this and surprisingly the technical support warranty and the hardware warranty dates are the same with my current unit. But one thing I am sure about, which is my unit is under the commercial model.

Technical support expired: 09/10/2015
Hardware warranty expires: 06/11/2016

Ideas?

My S3 feels heavy on the bed. Tend to use Ipad Air 2 for this purpose since it is lighter. If S3 is less than 500g then that would be better.

Watching and listening to this advert on a HD800S just made the experience even more epic lol
With such powerful graphics, I have serious concern on overheating issues during heavy gaming/load on such a slim body.

Yes, I agree. But best done on a PC. Of course you can game on a laptop, but the satisfaction of gaming is not there. At least for me. biggrin.gif

I had the Surface 3 before and I sold it off due to its bulkiness (not very feasible on bed). Plus it is kind of slow.

Is Surface Go any better than the Surface 3 in terms of size, weight and speed?

What do you guys think about the
Microsoft Surface Go Intel Pentium Gold 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD + Type Cover Burgundy + Office 365 Home Bundle for RM2879?

Or this is better?

Microsoft Surface Pro - M3 / 128GB / 4GB RAM + Type Cover Burgundy for RM3818?

This is exactly your question: https://www.windowscentral.com/chime-surfac...p-m3-better-buy

Hope it helps. It seems that there's not much different performance-wise betweent he M3 and the Pentium Gold, so it depends on how you plan on using your device. Obviously the bigger screen is nicer to have if you're going to make it your primary everyday device, but the smaller form fact of the Go has its advantages as well.

Thanks. Apparently I can get the M3 unit at less than RM3k over at Shopee. This puts the price nearer to each other. Of course the M3 unit has 4gb of ram only.

May I have a small review on Surface Go, the one with 8gb of ram and 128ssd?

How does it perform on Microsoft Office apps? Eg Word, Excel. How many tabs can I open at one time without any lags?

Office 356 Home bundled with the package. Nothing to be shout for since it's free.
I'm not a heavy user for Office, occasionally lags expected. But over still bearable.  blush.gif

Am thinking of getting this or Swift3/5 or even Thinkpads.

Swollen units due to plugged in 100% of the time? Or due to old age?
