Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Tablet Review

[peter d-g]

I have an old Dell XT2 with earlier generation N-Trig digitiser & Windows 7.
I am pen-centric & use neither touch nor a keyboard. With my current machine I can switch touch off & have the screen respond only to the stylus. Can anyone tell me if the W8 & later N-Trig setup of the SP3 has this option?

This is one of the best reviews I have read! Thank you! I liked how you included a review of the screen calibration and rendering. I also noticed that the grayscale rendering is TERRIBLE. There are obvious green and purple hues, which should be black/dark gray. This is a deal-breaker for me.   :-\

I found this other blog that covers the problem in some detail:

Has anyone else noticed this or been able to fix it?

Thanks for your great review, still useful in 2019 might I say. FYI You mention you started with an Apple IIGS, my first computer as a systems engineer was a Ferranti-Packard Mainframe, all tubes, was the mainstay for NORAD for a few years, guess what? I do believe I'm older than you! :)
