Yes, I was highlighting the negative comments, but I think the point I was trying to make is that virtually all the reviews are stating that the price is really high for what you get. There are always going to be compromises and no laptop is perfect, but paying over $2000 (tax incl) for the...

This is not looking too good. The verge review confirms that "the display wobble can be irritating, and the weird gap when it’s closed means I have to clean the Surface Book every day", and the Arstechnica review found poor results for the dGPU. I mean MS had to make compromises when...

Yes, but the way it's looking I'm not even sure if it can play LoL well at the native resolution (3000x2000). If the GPU wasn't designed for it, then why even mention it? He could have left it at "this is for the architect who is building a building right now".

Panos said that the graphics card was designed with the help of the Xbox team and that this "this is for the gamer who plays League of Legends." This naively led a lot of us to have a lot of hopes for the GPU.

So does this mean that it will perform better than a 940M GPU?

I think we are in similar boats. I also have a SP3 and would like to get a device with a larger screen that will also be better for gaming. Therefore I'm debating weather to sell my SP3 and get the new Surface Book (i5 dGPU) or get the new XPS 15 (i5 4K display) and keep my SP3. The former...

This reddit user ran some tests on it, and it seems to be only slightly better than the 940m: Analysis of Surface Book GPU • /r/Surface

I'm kind of going back and forth on this myself. I pre-order the i5 dGPU model (best bang for buck in my opinion) but with tax that would still put me over $2K. From what I have read this GPU is better than Intel Iris GPU but worse than most of the Nvidia GPUs found in other 2015 laptops...

Does anyone know why the SP3 has more wifi issues than other devices (ie my iPhone)? I have installed the latest updates but since I got the device a year ago it has consistently had more issues connecting to WiFi networks than my iPhone. My SP3 connects fine at home and work, but it is at...

So I checked out the SB on the MS again, and I completely agree that the tablet portion seems better than the SP4 (excl battery life). Like I said my only concern is the screen wobble when typing on a lap (which I don't do much so it's not a big deal). Overall I am very impressed with the...

In my case, I already have a SP3, so my choice is to either sell that and get a SB or keeping it and buy a XPS 15. Since I have a SP3 it would not make sense to sell it get a tablet. Also I definitely need a screen size more than 13" that is portable, hence why I would be getting either the...

If you are primarily using MBP for the hardware and prefer to work in the Windows environment then I think the XPS 15 is a nice alternative. In his particular case he was thinking of selling his more tablet oriented device (SP3), keeping his laptop (MBP) and getting a more laptop oriented...

Have you thought about keeping your SP3, getting the new SP keyboard (big improvement), selling your MBP and getting the new XPS15 with infinity display instead. That's one of the options I'm considering.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The only advantage to the SB option would be just dealing with one device instead of two.

No I need something that is portable as I work at cafés or conference rooms sometimes. I like having a tablet for reading, surfing the web, etc. But I've realized definitely need portable laptop functionality with a screen larger than 12 inches.

Yes, it would be for the several days per month, I need to do work from home. Trying to work on spreadsheets and view documents on a 12" is just too hard. So your saying Option 2 is better?

I'm having some trouble deciding and need some advice. I'm currently an owner of a SP3 as my sole at home device. I like it but in retrospect the screen size was too small as my primary PC. I went to the MS store and tested both the SP4 and Surface book. I didn't think the SP4 was a...

I couldn't test that in the 3min I played with it obviously. While my SP3 does have heating issues at times, it's not terrible IMO.

I played with the SP4 at my local MS store for a few minutes, and might be only one that thought that the device itself was not significantly different. Note that my testing does not involve battery life or processing speed. The biggest thing is that I didn't notice a huge difference in...
