When you visit websites (ESPN, etc), do the sites recognize the browser as a desktop browser, or are you given a mobile version of the site?

The browser appears to websites as a desktop browser and not a mobile browser. The Surface Pro 3 is a full version of Windows and uses the full non-mobile browser installations. I did go to a website I manage and loaded a page where I had it display the browser type and was able to confirm that the built in IE browser and Chrome both show up as the same desktop browser as you find in laptop or desktop computer running Windows 8.1.

Yes, sort of. The work around is installing the "Dolphin" Browser. Then in the settings, you select the "type" as desktop. Amazon Video will then recognize it. I put my default home page to the Amazon Prime video webpage. Works great. I do this for all of my Android devices.

I don't ge on FB on my computer. However I use the internet for bill pay and my boyfriend does do fantasy football and it never lags for him! I've only installed a couple programs, mostly Microsoft office. And it still runs smoothly!

Yes it scroll, ex: the in browsers. You have 4 bouttons you can configure. I made one of them as Universal Scroll. You click on it, then arrows appear. Then you use the ball to scroll. You can adjust it to scroll faster than a Wheel mouse, and it's more previse.So no more moving the mouse all over the place to scroll horizontally and vertically in browsing.

Yes, it support Chrome, Android Browser, and Firefox for Android. The ability to watch a subscription based media depends on the websites ability to support Android table and Android TV box browsers. I would recommend trying to access the site on a Android tablet first to check.

There are sports apps, but not ESPN. There is MLB, NBA, ACC, Red bull TV but no ESPN. I am not sure if it can be added. There is an opera TV store to add apps, but no watch ESPN. There is also a browser, but the last time I tried to use the browser I could not figure it out so I am not sure how well you can stream from the browser.

I don't think there's a specific iOS or android app, but you can still use your phone to pull up the mobile-friendly web site.

It has a browser but the memory is low and you would have to buy a mouse or something to search faster. The low memory cause you to get kicked out if your trying to open to many tabs.

You can install Chrome, Firefox or any browser of your choice. I find Chrome to be the best for my needs. Function wise it does everything i need it to. It is the Android version obviously and not to be confused with Chrome for PC.

I really don't know if there is a downloadable version. I have it as a stand alone program on my desktop so no worry about which browser.

It runs in the Safari web browser, not a separate app so it shouldn't be a problem.

No, this TV has only certain apps from Yahoo. The is no Web Browser at all at this time.

No. When plugged in and powered on (using your TV USB port or an AC adapter), the device advertises itself as a WiFi Hotspot, and you can authenticate it to your home WiFi to use the included browser. I have tested against my Android phone and iPad. The App needs considerable work,but does not appear to be maintained. I experienced repeated lockups, and I did not like that I have to disconnect my device from home WiFi to use all features. It was an interesting novelty for a few days, but I have since given up and unplugged it from my TV.

No, it loaded into my computer, the icon for the game is on my desktop so whenever I want to play the games, I just click the icon....really enjoy these games!!

Yes, sometimes you can. When it works you can use Google Chrome. But it will stop working unexpectedly.

You can't use the Browser but Netflix is avaialable through Android App Market. I am currently running it on my Galaxy Tab.
