MS Surface: Power Off/On Options?
I'm currently using a 10" Android tablet for media consumption, but a
Surface tablet would support some software that I prefer for that consumption. When I long-press Power on the Android device, it throws a confirmation dialog and "Yes" causes a total shutdown - needing a re-boot next time. But if I short-press that button, the screen just goes blank and the tab sort of sleeps until the button is pressed again - at which time the screen comes back on instantly. "Sort of sleeps" in that I can leave the device in that state all day and only lose a few percent on the battery charge. The Question: does the Surface tablet support similar functionality? I'm not talking about Sleep or Hibernate - both of which take way too long to present a usable screen. I'm talking about *instant* on. -- Pete Cresswell |

There's a whole web page here, with spiffy words like "tap", "swipe", "click" and the various power states. http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-...sleep-and-wake Paul |
