I do wonder if the m3 version gets noticeably better battery life. Because if it does I would probably find it worth it to get that version. If it doesn't though, I'd probably just spend the extra $100 and get the i5.

You paid $2,000 for a laptop that you're unable to identify on your own?

I find it pretty funny that all Windows people have said for years is the MacBook is a laughable device because of how overpriced it is, but now that Microsoft makes an equivalent of their own, all of a sudden they're a-ok. Look if you're willing to pay a premium for something that looks...

There is no question that the price is high for what you get, but no one should have needed a review to point that out. Just look at the specs. This is a status-symbol device, and not much else really, outside of a person who absolutely must have the pen functionality. Frankly if you're...

7 hours or less of battery life remains the deal breaker for me; just can't have it.

It's amazing how much more you pay for this device because of the screen detaching. For that exact same price you could get the Dell XPS 15 with a quad core i7, 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD, and a GTX 960M. Granted it's a 1080p screen instead of a touch screen 3000 x 2000 but still, miles ahead in...

I'm not convinced it's going to be in line with those benchmarks as I have my doubts that this GPU is going to be the equivalent of a 940M. And even if it was.....those benchmarks are 1366 x 768. And it is still struggling to get 30fps. Why would someone want to play a game in 2015 at that...

I can't help but think that anyone who orders this with gaming in mind is just going to end up disappointed considering how much they're paying. It CAN play games, yes. But you are absolutely not going to get $2,000 of gaming performance out of this device. It's just not happening. You will...

Again if you are willing to spend $2,700 on the Surface Book, that amount of money would not get you a "mid-level" gaming desktop. It would be high end, easily. Hell I would get the i7/16gb/256gb Surface Pro 4 before I would get the $2,700 Surface Book. The SP4 i7 comes with the Iris...

The Surface Book is not going to be a great gaming machine. The dGPU is not that powerful. You're not paying for power in this device, you're paying for 1) Form factor, 2) Build quality, and 3) a high res touchscreen with good pen capability. If you don't overly care about those things, you...

I'm starting to feel this way as well; the SB seems really cool but as it stands I'm not sure the hardware is ready yet. Feels a lot like the original SP. A bit ahead of its time and I think future iterations of it will be the way to go. I had initially planned on getting the SB with...

My initial thought was the i5/GPU Surface Book but the more I read/think about the specs, I'm leaning towards the i7/16gb SP4. Surface Book is starting to look like the initial Surface Pro. Really nice and ahead of its time, with the internals not quite ready to match the design yet. The...

I don't know man.....my initial plans were to get the $1,900 model with the GPU but the more I see on it, the less of a point I see to it. My plans with it were solely for getting better performance out of games like Civilization, Crusader Kings, Cities Skylines, stuff like that, but from the...

Do I have the money? Yes. Am I throwing it in that direction? Not so much. I initially said the highest I would go is the $2,100 model but taking a look again I wouldn't even do that; I thought the $2,100 version has 16gb/256 SSD. So I guess I'll be getting the $1,900 version.

So I went to the MS Store today, and they had it. After messing around with it for a short time I have to say it's very nice; definitely a "premium" device. The keyboard felt great and the overall build/construction quality seems top notch. I went into Task Manager and the i5 version was...

Regardless of what it ends up being, it's disappointing for a company to be so stingy with revealing what's really inside of a product that they are selling. I guess they have no reason to do anything different though, when you consider they're sold out. For the page on the MS store to say...

Trying to ask any kind of question of depth to a CSR is painful beyond description. And they really shouldn't be trusted, regardless of what they say. Anyway, I think at this point all anyone should expect of the GPU is that it's an incremental step up from Iris graphics. Anything beyond...

In theory the Surface Book sounds like a great device for me (I like having the full laptop use, but I enjoy using a tablet on the couch/in bed,) but I am definitely a bit worried about that alleged 3 hour battery life of the tablet. I guess we'll just have to see because we don't truly know...

The S3 may be "comparable" to something like an iPad Air, but I personally find the S3 noticeably slower then the newest iPad. That's my biggest problem with it. If it could at least be on par with an iPad for basic things like web browsing, I'd happily own one. I just couldn't accept it...

I picked up a Surface 3 shortly after release (4gb/128gb) and one of the things that I just ended up being disappointed in was performance in even relatively simple tasks, most notably for me web browsing. It just felt like the web browser lagged a bit in opening, and definitely on loading web...
