I have one 2560 x 1080 monitor and one 2560 x 1440 monitor. Are these considered 4k monitors? Is it going to be problematic running both of these through the Surface Book dock?

Thanks for the correction. I totally read that wrong.

Thanks for sharing jnjroach! Seems like it would be pretty easy to create a VGA or HDMI adapter that goes through the Surface connector. Question is, as you say, whether there is demand for such an accessory.

M3 version is also lighter due to no fan and smaller battery. Surface Pro 4 teardown confirms fanless m3 design, smaller battery

Do you think at some point Microsoft might sell just the keyboard part of the Surface Book? I'd love to have one keyboard at the office and one at home. I suppose the fact that there are multiple versions (i.e. with and without dGP) makes this more complicated and less likely?

I already plan to buy the new dock for my desk so I can hook up to multiple monitors, Ethernet, DVD, etc. I need something way more portable for when I'm on the go in clipboard mode and I want to hookup to a projector. Also, spending $200 for a dock to have at the office and $200 for a second...

How about directly from MS then. :)

Any chance we might see a "mini" dock for Surface Book? I really just need a video out port (and maybe USB) that I could use with the Surface Book in clipboard mode.

Wondering if an i5 version with dGPU will make much difference for my usage scenario: 80% of my usage is Office apps (Outlook, Word, Excel, and OneNote mostly). I occasionally use an older version of PhotoShop CS3 for touching up photos and InDesign CS6 for some basic brochures. I do plan to...

Inking on that SB clipboard - which I do a lot - sure was compelling though. :)

I'm still on the fence. I use my SP3 roughly 50-50 in tablet mode. I really want a larger screen! Rumors seemed to indicate that was coming. At first glance, the Surface Book seemed exactly what I wanted + a better keyboard. Battery life and lack of video out on the tablet portion are probably...

Another question... is the fanless Core M more likely to get warm to the touch than an i5 with fan?

Any idea whether the Surface Book inking experience is the same as the Surface Pro 4?

Thanks! That's really helpful. I'm thinking I would notice very little performance difference going from the Surface Pro 3 with Core i5 to the Pro 4 with the Core M3. 90% of my usage is Office 2013 (probably 2016 soon) and a pretty old version of PhotoShop (CS3). Would you agree the 15% drop...

Anyone know what to expect in terms of performance between the new Surface Pro 4 with the Core M3 compared to the current Surface Pro 3 sporting the Core i5? The i5 in my SP3 more than meets my performance needs. Wondering if I would see a performance drop if I went with an SP4 running the Core...

Definitely a lot to like about that Mojo case. Well engineered. Nice looking. One thing I overlooked one key need I have though... I need to be able to slide into and out of the Surface dock repeatedly each day. :)

Thanks for the suggestions!! I'm going to give the Moko case a try. I might also give this case a try. It's not exactly what I originally had in mind, but it looks professional for a meeting, has some additional pockets, and looks like the tablet can be put in/out quickly. Thanks!

Is anyone aware of a portfolio style case for the SP3 that still allows for use of the kickstand? Something similar to this, but still allowing use of the SP3's kickstand? I'd like: Something professional for meetings Has a pen holder (2 pen holders would be even better - second for a real pen)...

Why must it be one or the other? Why not a design that maintains the current kickstand and keyboard, but also offers a keyboard docking option that is more traditional? Is this not possible for some reason? I'd buy both.

My TV has HDMI but no USB port. I assume I'm out of luck?
