    How to protect your files in case of stolen/lost Surface?

    Well first of all register the Surface with Microsoft. The serial number will be tracked if repairs are needed. That's the first thing to do.

    Surface Book - Which Model?

    I store media also mostly Videos. I have the MS Display adapter and I broadcast to my TV. It's never a good idea to fill up your SSD. Also I never use the SB to watch videos in tablet mode even on a plane.

    Please help, opinions needed/appreciated

    If you using it more as a tablet go for the SP4. The battery life of the SB using the clipboard is just over 2 hours but you can use the power adapter. The chord isn't really that long.

    Go to Best Buy and get your hands on what they have on display. I went into Best Buy looking at the Surface Pro 4 and I came out thinking the Surface Book. Mainly because the price with Pro 4 and keyboard isn't that far from the SB.

    Surface Book Battery and GPU Problems

    That wasn't offered to me. Actually I took it to the Microsoft store after recovering it from being stolen. The person poured water on it and it wouldn't turn on.

    Surface Book Battery and GPU Problems

    Yes if there is a store around you that is the first place to go if you want the replacement quick. You can go online an they will start a chat window and will create a case to ship it to I believe Texas. That could take a week or so although shipping to and from is overnight.
