    Official I ordered a Surface Book

    Clearance now completed, apparently. Delivery updated and now says this morning by 10:30am PT. But my Surface Docks still do not have a delivery estimate. :( I'm not setting up my SB with the tangled mess with the USB hub that I'm using now for my SP2. I'm hoping that the Docks are now...

    Official I ordered a Surface Book

    Clearance delay here, too, but scheduled delivery now says "Pending."

    Surface Book Reviews

    And there's this one, too: Microsoft Surface Book Review & Rating | PCMag.com But what's all this noise about dust because of the gap? My work laptop stays open more than it does closed and that's when my screen gets the most dirty! :D

    Official I ordered a Surface Book

    Yes, first thing Friday morning for me, too!

    Official I ordered a Surface Book

    Charged here was well and I also received the shipment notification with tracking number email. The tracking number is still brand new, so no details yet available from the UPS site.

    OneDrive use cases

    I only make use of my OneDrive for Business account; however, it is significantly under-utilized. Only my OneNote Notebook is stored there and the rest is gobs and gobs of free space. Meanwhile, I just switched from Amazon Glacier to Google Cloud Storage for my Disaster Recovery backups (PC...

    Official I ordered a Surface Book

    Welcome to the forum and congrats! :D I've experienced that on other sites for other products and it is so frustrating because finally you get the process started and you think you are in the process of placing and then completing your order, but then you are told that the item is not...

    SP4 Broadband

    I'll never understand that must-have, either; it's a computer not a cell phone. My company provides us with Verizon Mi-Fi devices, which we use primarily with our corporate laptops. No need for IT to search for and establish a special LTE-equipped laptop model as the standard; rather, just...

    Poll What do you want to buy, Surface Pro or Surface Book?

    Because Surfaces are not meant to be laptops; that is what has always distinguished and attracted people to the device. When the original Surface Pro was released, without hesitation, I ditched my ThinkPad W700 in favor of the SP and I have never looked back. I was very much looking forward to...

    All Surface Book models are sold out online (?)

    Bad marketing? For what? It's sold out, it's sold out. Assuming they didn't just make a handful, it's actually good PR. But you have to remember that it is pre-ordering; GA has not yet been reached. Come GA, it can be purchased from various sources besides the MS online store. So if you...

    Poll What do you want to buy, Surface Pro or Surface Book?

    Yes, but just because tablet functionality is secondary doesn't mean it should lack Surface-standard tablet functionality: The kickstand. We're not complaining about the battery life in tablet mode (again, we understand and agree that the SB is laptop first and tablet second); what we are...

    Surface Book 2016 improvements

    I can't see this not happening. In tablet-only use cases, the ability to prop it up on its own is invaluable.

    Kickstand on the clipboard.

    Poll What do you want to buy, Surface Pro or Surface Book?

    Especially in technology, what is ever solved and stays stagnant with no improvement or attempt to improve? But what's overly complex about the hinge? Push a button to snap out and snap back in at will. That's complex? Now, yes, if the technology behind it fails/is unreliable then, yes, it...

    Official I ordered a Surface Book

    I went all out and ordered the 512GB version with 16GB of RAM. The 512GB is overkill for me, actually, but I wanted the 16GB. It was disappointing not to see the 256GB version also available with 16GB of RAM.

    Welcome to the new Surface Book forum

    By the way, where's the "Official I pre-ordered a Surface Book" thread? ;)

    Whoa. New "Surface Book" just shown

    Yes, but space requirements are different than if you had a kickstand.

    Welcome to the new Surface Book forum

    I was all set and waiting forever to get my new Surface Pro 4 (I stayed with the SP2 and decided to skip the SP3). I couldn't wait for October 6th to see the specs! Then I saw the SB and that's when I decided to switch. :) Since the very first Surface Pro, it has always been my laptop...

    System restarts instead of returning normally from sleep

    You might want to do a test where all non-MS apps/services are disabled to see if you still have the problem. I had this exact problem with my SP2 and it coincidentally started around the time of a firmware update. I was convinced it was due to the update. But I was eventually proven wrong...

    New Intel Drivers release by Microsoft for Surface Pro 2

    The way I look at it is as follows: I own a Microsoft Surface Pro 2; It was built with Intel components inside; Running Windows 8.x, my SP2 had no issues with my three external monitors; Microsoft releases a Windows upgrade: v10; I install the upgrade; Running Windows 10, my SP2 is now...
