What's great about it: built in stand, keyboard interface is nice, pen works well
What's not so great: keyboard should be included, keyboard should have pen storage
So far we are generally happy with this tablet, we have iPads as well but I like the native functionality with our MS office suite and the syncing with the desktop at work saved a lot of time in setup.
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up, Perfect for Business, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size
About me... Basic web surfing & emails, Technology guru, Business Professional, ms office apps

What's great about it: it works
What's not so great: twice the price it should be
The good and bad of it....
Good = BB had them in stock, they work, we got out of a jam on some production equipment because BB had them when everyone else was out of them or had the wrong type (D instead of I)

The bad of it....
the BB price was more than twice what we usually pay as a direct importer but time was a problem so we refer to the things that are listed as good above and need to be happy with completing the job.

Convenient Wireless Option to a Standard Cuff

What's great about it: Multiple user capability, Trending saved to SmartPhone App
What's not so great: Takes a bit of fiddling to learn what is up/down - in/out for each wrist
Setup was easy enough, removed unit from the packaging, plugged in the included charge cable and let it simmer for a few hours. Loaded App to iPhone and Sync'd the cuff to the phone.....
Later that night we set out to compare the product to our old electronic upper arm cuff unit. I took a baseline reading from the old unit and it was a specific reading in the range I was used to, then we tried the wrist cuff and got readings that were either way high or way low. I was about to toss it back in the box and return it but I looked about on line and found some anecdotal comments on how sensitive it was to position and movement during the read cycle so we set up to try it again in a more controlled manner and this time with a recent doctor visit reading on hand which was supplemented with similar readings from my old unit. This time the unit came in on the money 4 out of 5 times on both wrists as far as matching the older unit.
I don't recommend having to take readings several times each time but everyone will during the period where we need to build confidence in the device accuracy, but once that confidence is established we opt for two readings each time, one sitting and one standing which is the normal regimen our HMO team uses.
This was a satisfying purchase when we finally dialed in the process.
Next I want to link it in to the MyFitnessPal App so that my health stats can all be kept in one place along with my FitBit Force WristBand, Workout heart rate monitor and linked in scale.

Surface and iTunes
Can I install iTunes on the surface3? The disclaimer states that iTunes songs can be imported. Does this mean I can't sync my iPhone on the surface?
you can install iTunes, when you log in to iTunes you would authorize the surface pro just like any other PC
have not checked the sync issue as yet

Without a data plan needed, if wifi is not available, how do you access information?
use your smart phone as an access point by tethering, you wifi to it and it uses the cell carrier's data network, watch out for excess data charges if you have a small data plan however

Can I load older (Windows XP compatible) applications from a USB CD-rom drive?
My business PC runs Windows XP and I have CD installation discs for all my applications. Can I install them from USB CD-ROM drive? Will they run under Windows 8.1?
TIA
TIA
if they run on windows 8 or 8.1 on any other system they should work fine on a surface pro 3 tablet

External CDROM
Does the surface pro3 allow for an external CDROM to be connected and used?
I don't know about an older USB CDROM but a new ASUS USB CD/DVD external drive worked fine for installing Microsoft Office

How do you transfer pictures from the SP3 to a disk???
This is dumb BUT how do you get pictures you have taken transferred to another computer so you can burn a disk???
drag and drop them to a USB stick, or use a USB to USB transfer cable, then again if you have an email client on your tablet you can attach them to emails and send them to yourself at your desktop computer.

Rocketfish™ - Mini Display Port-to-VGA Adapter - Multi
This cable connects your Apple® iMac® or MacBook® to an external projector or monitor and supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolution for high-quality images.
Why when i hook up my DVI to my HDMI and then to the TV my screen flashes blue but nothing appears on the TV?
I have the HDMI plugged into the proper outlet on my TV and into the DVI... which is then in my only DVI port on my laptop. My laptop screen flashes blue showing there is a connection, and will flash again when I break the connection but nothing shows up on the TV which is also on the correct input.
the problem is that you may have a mismatch between the two different DVI specifications DVI-I vs DVI-D
what you are seeing may be a result of trying the wrong DVI adapter

Why is not the screen showing up on the external monitor?
i can't find any configuration answers at all at setting up an external monitor including the System Preferences for IOS 10.7.5
other than the comment about IOS 7 the only thing we know is that you are using an apple device
you don't say which one so cross referenceing that products specs to provide a viable answer is impossible

will this product work on a Dell XPS 12?
if it has a mini port display output it most likely will, the mini port is a standardized port from system to system, maker to maker
thats what industry standards are supposed to be about.

Is this MiniDisplay port the same as the one on the Surface Pro 2?
Mini Port Display ports are a standard configuration, and as an industry standard are supposed to be the same device to device and mfgr to mfgr
your mileage may vary however
