Hey Everyone,
I love my surface book (for the most part), but some bugs I have always had have recently been joined by a few others and it's getting very frustrating.
Current setup: Windows surface book with surface dock (with two external monitors).
Does anyone else have these issues?
* Two months ago my fan made a horrendous noise (grinding then jammed), so much so I got a replacement order set up, but they could only provide me with a replacement if I sent this in first, and since I am writing a PhD thesis, I cant afford the 2 weeks they stated without this. The issues seemed to resolve itself, so I left it (if it returns, I have another 5 months left on warranty which is also after my thesis submission date).
* The surface book does NOT like being disconnected from the base while connected to the dock, if its "projecting" to the other screens when I disconnect, 100% of the time the clipboard simply remains black. When I change "projection" to single display only, about 60% of the time, I also get a black screen that requires restart.
* About 3 times a day, my keyboard simply stops working (except the backlight buttons), it requires a full restart for the clipboard to detect it again.
* Similarly, my external mouse also stops working at times (Wired, not bluetooth).
* Three times now in as many weeks, the wallpaper has simply went black, and stayed black until I reset it to something new.
There are more smaller issues that are just inconvenient, but these are stopping me from working and it's extremely annoying. I am just curious am I in fact using a subpar machine, or is this what everyone is experiencing? It makes me miss my macbook air!
Thanks in advance :)
