which is better macbook air or sp3 or lenovo yoga pro 3?? any advise?

imo macbook air is an ultrabook, sp3 is a tablet with a pretty solid engineered detachable keyboard, yoga pro is a laptop that you can fold into a tablet. price points are all rather different as well. It's more of what you need I feel.

Yup. Still not as food as a student discount though...

Student discount one 10%.
But sites has $130 discount and free gifts...
Which is better.

Totally agree, the best way... is to go down to these shops that have the particular product use them for at least 1 hour, as though ur doing some office work... as though your surfing the internet, as though as ur doing what you you do most of time. Each device has its purpose, macbook air is specifically users which can make full use of os x environment to do their work.

Sp3 and lenovo depending on ur environment which you prefer as both are running windows hence it better for you to play around with them first.

That is my best advise

Does anybody feel constant static discharge coming from your Surface when you use it while its charging? I keep getting a tingly sensation (that's rather painful) when I write on the tablet while its connected to the mains.

I'm left handed so the part where the keyboard connects is where my arm touches.

Yes, me too

Do anyone of you do static IP for your SP3?

I'm having problem getting my port open for my BitComet.

Tried doing static ip and port forwarding both ethernet and wifi, but can't seem to open the port.

Any idea?

I am starting to regret buying SP3

1) Buy external dvd rw cannot detect
2) Google map cannot really use..i cannot swipe left and right on the screen (eg. from Singapore, I want to swipe left towards Europe...cannot.
3) Apps sooooooo little....
4) Buy the stupid USB hub cannot use...

1) the tablet's usb port is underpowered as compared to a laptop. you can get a y-cable usb port, with 1 usb port connected to a phone adapter charger.

2) i don't think there is a dedicated google maps app for windows 8. btw, the native map app allow you to swipe, as of i am trying it now.

3) no comment

4) why is it that it can't work? i have a ac powered usb hub and it's working with a ethernet port, a thumbdrive and a external hdd connected to it, without the need to turn on the hub ac power supply.

You solve my number one problem...I used the charging port from the charging adapter!

it could be your windows firewall or antivirus firewall blocking it. you might want to try using utorrent

 

[eyz]

thank you, got that.

i tried turning off the firewall and it works!

funny that most of the time when i install bitcomet, the program will add itself to the firewall exception. seems like it didn't this time.

thanks btw.

Answer to 2. You can swipe the map using 2 fingers.
