How does the UPS shipping label work for returning the surface? It doesnt look like a prepaid label. Anybody got any intel on the what happens when dropped off at a UPS location-- the instructions just say "drop off at any UPS location" Do they accept it as prepaid?
Thanks

1) Box up surface, charger and cord, & case
2) Take adhesive off backside of label and place on box
3) Sign at bottom right
4) Detach and keep "middle sheet" (sender copy).
5) Leave top and bottom-est page attached to box.
6) I took mine to local UPS Store and dropped at counter.
7) You dont have to do anything else e.g. write-in weight. UPS handles the rest. Its prepaid. Easy no hassle for me.

Love the speed of the iPad. Battery life not much better than Surface, imho. Ownship works better on the ground, than in the air.

If you're not doing it already, make sure you put it into airplane mode in flight, and just turn the wifi on. I think it burns through battery pretty quickly searching for a cell signal. Also, turn the screen off when you're not looking at it in flight.

Thanks, have done both of those so far. Flew FLL to JFK, back to MCO today. 100 percent charge, plugged in the brick at 28 percent, 30 minutes from touchdown in MCO.

The battery on mine has been amazing. 3 and 4 leg days on the Mad Dog, always using FWV, and I’ve not once come close to needing the Anker.

I used only the surface 3 on the road. I had a personal login that I felt comfortable using and basically private from Delta (because it was separated within the tablet). I am not as comfortable with this new ipad (which I got today) because I'm not getting the feeling I can have a separate login.

Additionally. I think it was a highlighted (blue) link on the top of the settings page that talked about how the company has access to internet information on the tablet. It's in a link that also talks about how the company does not have access to your location, unless you use the function that is similar to find a phone.

Anybody else see that and / or have concerns about it.

I have never had any apple products so I don't have a apple ID. I have my ipad set up and ready to go I believe but it never asked me to set up an apple account. Do I have to create one to use it at work or would I only need one if I wanted to download apps and such.

I had the same exact situation. Except I was home but was outside of the house in my driveway. Saw the UPS driver drive right on by haha
