    Is the Keyboard Supposed to Drain Before the Clipboard?

    Mine drains from both but the capacity of the battery life in the base is at least 3 times longer than the clipboard battery.

    There's a reason why they sell them together. They have the Surface Pro if you want a tablet first that can be a laptop. The Surface Book is a laptop that can be a tablet. They why they replace the whole unit it there is an issue with the clipboard. Now if they did something like that they...

    "Surface Book with Performance Base"

    Ok in reading what i posted it says that if you can't read the clipboard serial number you can give the base so they must be linked because when I look on my MS account it only shows one serial #. I'm at work and my SB is at home so I can't check. Which serial # is listed under your MS?

    Is the rumor of SB2 and SP5 real?

    I think as long as they make the Surface the Book will be sold with the base and clipboard with the same serial number. It's different from the Pro as the keyboard is just a keyboard with the Pro.

    "Surface Book with Performance Base"

    That's because they are manufactured with the without separate serial numbers. They were designed to be sold as one unit and the Surface Pro's are designed to be sold separately and identified by 2 different serial numbers. The SB warranty is for the whole device. If the clipboard is bad (under...

    Is the rumor of SB2 and SP5 real?

    Yes I believe it's true as I think MS learned that most of the SB issues were caused by using the new released Intel processor. They are waiting for the Kaby lake to get battlefield tested.

    MS and Apple events made me appreciate my original SB more

    Well I think MS learned with the release of the Surface Book that they need to give the new Intel processors some break in time. They released the i7 with a new design and look for a spring 2017 release of the Surface Book Kaby Lake processor and some new changes. The change they made to the...

    "Surface Book with Performance Base"

    They aren't going to do that because the screen only has 3 hours of battery and they would sell one screen to multiple bases.

    "Surface Book with Performance Base"

    The new design is for the i7 only. They've added the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 965M 2GB GPU and it now gets 3 more hours of battery life.

    Surface book screen issue

    Well I bet you have the dGPU model and the black for a second is related to the dGPU. I've had it happen to me once or twice in 6 months.
  19. Orlbuckeye

    Please help, opinions needed/appreciated

    Yes but the dGPU can be set to be used only by certain applications and the i5 in the SB and the Surface Pro 4 both use the Intel HD 520 graphics. The Surface Pro 4 with the i7 does use the Intel HD 540 graphics with the Intel 6650U processor and the SB with i7 uses the Intel 6600U with the...
