Looks like rushing the product out the door to meet the launch date before it was really ready. Review units were still super buggy and crashing days before release and they were releasing new drivers/firmware to fix major issues right at launch day. This should have been sorted out earlier...

This reviewer had some dock-related problems, but said it's improving.

The best way to spin this is that the problem is removing instead of attaching. If it was easy to remove, but you couldn't redock it again, it would have been a worse problem. You can just stop trying to remove it and pretend it doesn't come apart. One day Microsoft will have a fix and you...

It's risky buying day one first gen products. Problems are to be expected. I think the dock release is going to be an issue. I see several people complaining of issues with the release not releasing and I have seen it release in an janky way where it does release, but not fully on both sides...

This one was a Microsoft rep demoing the unit in Japan and he had to hastily move it off screen when the release failed on camera.

Actually, I noticed several videos where the release does't work properly. I have seen multiple videos where only one side releases and you have to reinsert it and try again to remove it. I have seen videos where the release fails with error: "Latch failed to open" red error box. Doesn't looks...

That could be a problem unless the preproduction samples they tested didn't have the final materials on the bottom. Hard to believe that during internal testing nobody at Microsoft noticed the bottom sliding around tables before sending samples out to reviewers who noticed the issue within...

He was not actually standing on it with all his body weight. He was sitting in a chair and lifted both legs and placed them down on the Surface Book. Most of his weight was still on the chair. The video was poorly shot, with the chair out of the frame. I think this is misleading. It is only...

None of those are slim-fitting sleeves. The Surface Book will fit in any laptop bag or backpack you may already own that will fit a 14 inch laptop. Because of the gap and easy-to-lose pen that will fall off of the magnetic mount as you push it in or pull it out of the backpack, a sleeve is...

They announced they would be reselling Microsoft Surface Pros several weeks ago. Are they planning to sell the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book on launch day next week? They only mention Surface Pro 3, but Surface Pro 4 was not yet announced at the time. I don't see any details on products and...

People at our company are interested in the Surface Book to replace our current laptops with 1366x768 screens. We only use legacy desktop apps and some critical apps were designed more than 10 years ago and do not scale up based on the scaling settings in Windows 8.1. It works fine on the...

Some people in the comments said that it won't wobble like that if you press the lock button after reattaching the tablet to the keyboard. They said you have to press the button to release the tablet and press it again to properly lock it in. Someone needs to retest it after confirming the lock...

If you snooze updates and are prone to forget about them and are then surprised when the updates eventually install, if you disable them, now you will just forget even longer and run an unpatched system online.

This is great. http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Sling-MicroSoft-Surface-Nexus/dp/B003GSL6UQ/ref=sr_1_1?&ie=UTF8&qid=1438222869&sr=8-1

Are these considered normal Windows updates or are the firmware updates considered driver updates? If the firmware updates are categorized as drivers, many organizations will not see them as it is common for them to disable driver category updates through WSUS and get supported drivers through...

Easy way to forget about them. Without seeing the notifications, they most likely just won't get installed. Windows 10 is almost here and it pops up a calendar you can use set the installation time.

I know you can increase the desktop scaling to 150% or more and increase font sizes in browsers, but what if that still isn't enough for easy use of desktop apps? There are many old x86 apps that will not recognize Windows 8.1 scaling adjustments. Are there any downgrade screen resolutions you...

Windows 8.1 has antivirus already built in and works pretty well without being noticed or slowing down the computer. Third party antivirus "suites" often cause more problems than they prevent.
