It's all anecdotal for me, but it "feels" more stable so far for me... Not as many slowdowns and no BSODs yet (knock on virtual wood).

Hmmm... I don't have this issue. My touchpad gestures still work fine (one of the things that kept me on OS X for a long time by the way).

Not trying to scare you but I had hella problems with the windows store on my SP2 way back when. Troubleshot with MS so much that they were willing to admit defeat and replace the thing, but I ended up doing a full system refresh and it started all working again. Hopefully you won't suffer the...

Ditto on experience that ABswl13 had... No camera after install immediately, but logged in with PIN and then rebooted...Windows Hello worked just fine after that. Here's to hoping that this fixes some of the BSODs I've been having (and maybe...just maybe...some of the graphics driver craziness)

Ok.... and the solution was????

I get freezes from time to time, but I've got so much going on all of the time, that I've not done deep investigation on what's causing it (but I have a nagging suspicion that it could be OneDrive synchronization... I am on the latest fast ring build and I still get the "won't sleep when you...

I keep hearing all about these 12 hour battery life claims... but man, don't people read the fine print (only video playback and on an i5 with no adaptive brightness)?

It's just a joke... Not exactly the same idea...but just ironic timing you know. I don't think they'll ever actually produce anything from this. It's just fodder for the attorneys some day.

Hmmm... I dunno. Mine scrolls the same no matter where I scroll on the touchpad with two fingers.

The next Mac could look like this

It's the GeChic On-Lap 1502i monitor. I've been using it since the SP1 came out, and it's been great (although the Surface line keeps getting higher and higher resolutions but the monitor is still stuck at 1920X1080). It hooks up via HDMI, which I use a Belkin mini-DP to HDMI converter to...

By the way... Here is me using a portable monitor with the Surface Book:

It's tough between the two procs IMHO. I mean, there's really only a smidgin of a difference there... a little bit faster in both base clock and max clock, 1 more MB of cache, and an almost imperceptibly faster graphics memory... Other than that...they're practically the same procs. If they had...

I type on my lap when I'm in bed at night all the time and it doesn't bother me at all. Now...the weight distribution and ease of dumping it backwards is another story...but that's just the nature of the beast here. I wouldn't want to make the keyboard heavier just to avoid that...

There's lots I could say, but hey, I wish you the best. Hope you find something that makes you happy and works for you. I use multiple portable monitors (no 4k of course) without issue on my SB and I also had done so with the SP3, but hey...maybe you really did have a lemon.

Ditto on the Anandtech bit... I'd reckon that the delta between the i7 and i5 might be wider this time around with some of the efficiency improvements. I think the SP3 was so challenged thermally that there didn't end up being that much delta last time around. I think there might be a bit more...

Hmmm... Dunno. I'm using Windows Hello so I don't even have a chance to worry about it.

Look... I know what I'm getting into with the first gen of a new product. That's what I get from being an early adopter nerd :) Every single of one of the Surface Pros that I have had various issues (typically software/firmware related) at launch. I "get" that you've got the "everything in our...

Well... I guess I could setup rotating backgrounds since after trying to update today to 10586 I got the following in the middle of the upgrade:

Wait until folks are out of warranty and they bork their display... I'm sure some will try to part with their undamaged keyboard section.
