Yeah I just wanted extra tip's for the pen lol but they gave me a whole pen

Lol did they ask for the old one back? U got a pic of your pen wearing out? That's quite fast..

If I remember correctly, the tip of the pen can be removed with a tweezer, just like a typical Note 3 stylus. Curious why they dun just send you a few nibs instead? And the nib is made of rubber IIRC...

??????? Why didn't Microsoft just include ~10 nibs in the package? Isn't it cheaper than shipping nibs and all the trouble involved (setting up a new support case, contacting the local couriers, having the courier arrange a time, etc). Even the note 3 ships with 5 extra nibs..

Anyone else noticed the tip of the pen wearing out? Called MS and they are sending me a replacement.

So fast? Lol. What you using it for.

They said i could keep it lol. I use it for drawing but didn't expect it to wear out so quick.

What I understand is that Microsoft didn't expect the user of Surface Pro 3 to use the pen so frequently...hence they never factor in the wear and tear. This is only a temp solution and in future, consumer will have to pay for the nib when it wear out. So it will be "wise" to get extra nibs (FOC) from Microsoft before the nib replacement take its place.

Go to change advance options look for processor management, for maximum processor state, change from 100% to 50%

Control panel then? I searched for advanced but none came out for advanced options...

Go to desktop


right click on battery icon on taskbar


click on change plan settings


click on change advanced power settings


look for processor power management


there you will have max/min processor state

Using bluestacks to emulated Android.
It is quite amazing being able to play clash of clans,etc but gfx speed is quite bad.
Anyway to improve?
Or are there any other android emulators which are better?

Best of both worlds really!

Do you need to open Bluestack to check your whatsapp message every time?
