This is the original story with all the images... This is the new Microsoft Surface Pro Looks like a minor update externally, but guessing the price will be back up there, and battery life will be improved.

Companies don't seem to want to share future product plans. Apple is terrible with this too. The added complication with Microsoft is that they don't necessarily need to ever do follow on products if they believe the other makers have stepped up for a form factor. It's a shame because they...

She does good reviews. When I tried the SB out, I didn't realize you could do the other positions with the keyboard/display angling. I still think I like the kickstand better, which most of the other SP4 competitors use. She also didn't make a lot of comments about the keyboard... it felt a bit...

Has anyone any experience with the Acer Switch Alpha? Base on reviews, its very compatible to the SP4 and much less expensive. I'm tempted to order one from Amazon to review tomorrow before this weekend when I have to keep or return the SP4. $869 for i7, 8G, 512GB including keyboard, but not...

I think with recent deals the SP4 is already discounted about as much as they are going to go down, but you never know.

If you want more than the one negative review, here is a very thorough comparison with the of the Asus Transformer T303 vs. the Surface Pro 4, HP Elite x2 1012 G1, Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga, and Acer Aspire Switch 12 Alpha. Asus Transformer 3 Pro T303UA-GN050T Convertible Review The bottom line...

I finally got to check out the Galaxy Book at a Verizon store today. Bottom line is I would not want this over the SP4. The things I didn't like were: - lack of kickstand when off the keyboard, and even when on keyboard - keyboard was too flimsy for my liking... really flexed a lot and I...

Not as expensive as a Surface Laptop!

Right... I didn't intend the thread just for my own situation, but was intended to be a more broad discussion of SP4 alternatives.

Getting it all setup has taken quite a bit of time and not sure I want to go through that again. One Drive, One Drive for Business, Office apps, 1Password, browser choices, Lightroom, etc.. Granted it would go a lot quicker to do it again because I've learned so much through the process. But...

Unfortunately I'm not so lucky. I bought from the Microsoft store and my return period ends a few days before the big announcement day that they've sent mixed signals on.

I wonder if Microsoft is going to sidestep because now other makers are starting to build similar stuff? If their goal was to establish the platform in the market, they have be ready to call it a victory.

Microsoft is now saying there is no SP5 in the pipeline and I'm 2 weeks into my return period on the SP4, which I do really like. But before the time expires, I wanted to make sure I'm considering all the real alternative devices. By alternative, I mean a device that I can use as a tablet (not...

I kind of want the best of both worlds. I do want this to be my work laptop replacement; which is basically running things like: - Outlook - MS Office - Webex meetings - A dozen or so browser sessions - VPN running I don't think these things really tax a system that much. For non-work, I want...

Is the problem you are having with your OneDrive folders not syncing, or with OneNote? As I said, they behave differently. I don't have a ton of experience with this but have had to setup a few times on my work laptop and home Mac, and now on the SP4. Each time I've done it its been a...

Bill, where did you get the GB... I've been looking at places like Best Buy and Amazon and they all say it won't be released until later this month? They also list one with more memory. I wouldn't mind trying one out before my return period ends for the SP4... but I am really liking this thing...

I can't imagine what they are thinking to use glue on anything like this. If they can assemble a smartphone with screws, then they should be able to assemble a tablet that way. I get that they want it to look cool, but there is a point when it becomes silly. An SP2 is pretty dated, so I think...

I'd really be surprised if they announce a SP follow on after he said the SP5 didn't exist. I get that its technically accurate if they call it something else but these guys generally don't say things that would piss people off... which that would. I'm guessing that there will be a follow on...

OneNote and OneDrive have a special relationship. You can't manage OneNote notebooks like other documents. You have to control their syncing from within OneNote. It will get stored in a OneDrive folder, but you can't just move the file into OneDrive on your own. I tried that once and it...

If you decide to redo it, make sure you turn off syncing before doing anything or you could have it sync deletions and remove all your files. I think I'd copy that whole directory somewhere safe and then go through the process of turning things off and removing OneDrive... then restart the...
