Fun never stops with Surface pro 3

I had another issue. This time it downloaded updated firmware (EFI) and was stuck for 1.5 hours while installing it. I called Support and after first call was dropped i got instructions on how to perform two button restart. Surface was not reacting after 30 second plus power button press. It revived and i have another thing to worry about: how it will perform after failure of bios update? MS support ensured me not to worry i can get 329$ out of warranty replacement one or have discount and buy new one.... Like really.... i already payed for device 1700 $ after tax and it barely lasted through the year stealing my time and nerves and i am going to renew subscription for this misery?

Car reviews :)

We live in 3 lap car review world. Everyone posting some videos of 0-60(0-100) times and all walk arounds you can take. I was looking for a new car and took it way to seriously .  Because i going to drive 110 km every day. If seat is bad so my back is hurt. If it cant merge on high way... so it can't I drove plenty of cars and going to release reviews of test drives, rental experiences and for base line i have Accord 2002, manual 2.3 l. Very old school car. If someone has any comments about cars i would love to discuss cars, share experiences and can put certain reviews first. Anton

It almost 12 months with Surface Pro 3

So, i got replacement unit. It kinda sort of fine. Some corners are more bright (especially when it starts and shows Surface logo). but it ok. With small "o" and small "k" So... what happens? I try to install my Microsoft Office 2013 all official staff and it goes racing head to head with updates of pre-installed 32 bit Office. I don't like it, but by the end neither of them work. so i nuke whole system and "reset" it. So, it install fresh copy of settings and files and ... i figure out how to get my copy and version of Office. I did it and it great. The problem some other staff don't work. It sees only one core out of 4 logical and pushes it to the limits and then beyond. As a result tablet is noisy and hot like hell. 3 Refreshes after all together it ok. CPU is cool, nothing punishes system , it all in the order i like. Correct version of Office, no bloatware clean and sound. I use it for a month and start noticing pesky and frequent error
