The i7 actually does throttle. Open up your task manager and pay attention to the clock rate after a session of consistent heavy use and also after a cold boot when the unit has been off for quiet awhile. You'll see the difference almost immediately; its clear as daylight. In 1 scenario the cpu...

Are any of you experiencing Screen Flickering and Keyboard/Mouse Failure at times?! Im wondering if I should have mine swapped out now before I move back to Bermuda in April. What's wrong with a refurbished unit?! Have you never used Apple Care before?! All the replacement iPhones are deemed...

What happens if it completely sh*ts the bed outside of your warranty and fails to take a charge?! What will be worse? Re-downloading programs to a replaced working unit or being stuck with a useless slab of metal with the possibility of not being able to recover your personal data in the...

Your best bet would probably be to simply go out and play with both machines. See which you like best and go from there. Personally I prefer the traditional laptop form over the Surface Pro setup. I'm sure Intel and Microsoft will sort out the driver issues eventually, assuming it isn't...

Sounds like it could be an intermittent break in the connection at or near the hinge. Take it back if you can and get it swapped out before your stuck with it.

^ this. I have the i7/dGPU/16GB ram/512GB SSD and its littered with little annoyances. One of the most annoying is the keyboard and mouse failing to work at times. If you can put up with the laptop not working as intended for an indefinite amount of time go for it. Just be sure to grab their...

Well its good we see eye to eye now. However regarding the quote above, there is nothing you can really do bout cheeky remarks. I know some statements can put a loyalist on edge really quick but what can you do?! Unfortunately for myself I happen to get the short end of the stick one to many...

Wow great find mate. This should totally be mentioned in a sticked thread if it hasn't already. I just realizing that my full 16GB wasn't to my expense on my Surface Book because of your little discovery. Thanks a ton! :D

Notice in my post the link between the two faulty Microsoft products happen to be Microsoft's hardware. The fault is not with Microsoft's OS. Your desktop PC was assembled by a totally different OEM which has absolutely no relevance to the surface book fiasco. The problem here is the Surface...

^ This thing may be stable for a Microsoft product but compared to other laptops that I've owned in the past this thing is a hot mess. Its a beautiful machine don't get me wrong. I love mine, but this is probably the most unstable piece of hardware I've owned since the xbox 360 which now that I...

Its terrible until you update the drivers... This issue has been mentioned all over reddit. The minute you update them it'll easily outperform the intel 520 without crashing.

It seems like Microsoft has been doing updates every month. Do you think we'll still get something this month to address the other bugs or do you think this is what we are getting for March?!

Becuase there is no space inside the table portion to include the dGPU also in addition to the already intel CPU that is needed to run the machine... Thats like trying to fit two car engines under the hood of a car its just not possible. Remember the only reason why the tablet portions intel...

Id totally be with you on this one until I ran into this machine -_-. I purchased my surface book about a week ago and did all the updates the day I got her. Fast forward a few days into owning it I noticed some applications that I had specified to used the dGPU would crash upon launching. Read...

The easiest way to get the lastest NVIDIA drivers is by going into device manager. Under "Display Adapters" right click on "NVIDIA GeForce GPU" and choose "Update Driver Software".
