OK, now for a counter-example. I was at a Best Buy today with the new revamped display showing off the new Studio and the new SB with performance base and checked the hardware on that one. It came with a 256G Toshiba XG3 drive (THNSN6256GPU7) which is rated much faster than the PM951's that we...

I was at BB yesterday and asked if they had the Performance Base models on sale and they checked and the prices were retail. They had great deals on the older models from last year. I'd suspect that you ended up with an older model. What deal did you get and for which model?

Getting tempted to upgrade, but want to wait for more changes. Meanwhile... I noticed today on Amazon that the i7/16/512/dGPU model has a bundle sale price. $2799 for the computer, or $2699 bundle price for the computer plus dock - so I could get the new model with performance base for the...

Grrr... I get about 25fps at 3000x2000, didn't check if the settings were maxed, but it was a bit too stuttery to really play at that resolution. The sad thing is that there aren't any other 3:2 resolutions in the list so you either get letterboxing or stuttering... :(

I just got 3 updates for various components this evening: Microsoft driver update for Surface UEFI NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA GeForce GPU Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Precise Touch Device The nVidia driver version is now 21.21.13.6961 dated 10/20/2016

Mine only shows the tablet serial number as well. I'm not disputing that they register the entire device from one serial number, just that it doesn't necessarily mean they can't sell additional bases as un-associated accessories. (Glad I checked - I noticed that they never transferred my MS...

The convenience of the fact that they associate the two numbers on manufactured devices doesn't necessarily preclude them from selling them separately, but it does indicate that they aren't thinking along those lines presently. The human factors teams probably suggested the association due to...

What do you mean by "without separate serial numbers"? The serial number for my base and display are different and I don't see any correlation between the numbers. I also have an old box for the original SB I had before I exchanged it and both boxes show 2 completely different serial numbers.

They had demos of the new Surface Book with Performance Base in the stores so I went to check them out. The base is noticeably larger near the screen due to a wedge shaped design that still manages to keep the screen and keys apart and keep the overall dimensions when closed the same as before...

It looks like GoW requires 2GB or video memory minimum with 4GB preferred. The dGPU only has 1GB dedicated VRAM (the new updated base hardware announced this morning will have 2GB). On my machine (which has both) it shows that the embedded Intel 520 GPU only has 1GB of memory assigned to it...

The last screen shot shows 16GB of memory, which was only sold in a configuration including the nVidia dGPU, but the system info also shows that it is using the embedded Intel 520 graphics. Has he checked to see if the nVidia GPU is showing up in the device manager? If not then detaching and...

I wonder how much a base would be (with or without dGPU). They have separate Serial Numbers. Someone might want to upgrade to a dGPU after purchase without having to buy a whole new machine. Alternately, it might be an interesting way to extend battery life if the price wasn't too outrageous...

I should add that the flip side, advantages they had for getting it out early, would be the number of customers they got from the holiday buying frenzy who may have gone with it on specs alone and, once they had it, decided to forge ahead due to purchase inertia (or in my case, the format was...

That's probably true, but I can't answer for eltos. (Full disclosure - I bought in early, had some problems, but it met my needs like nothing else on the market so I stuck with it and I'm glad I did now...) But, there are still the issues of: - The problems people were having turned away...

It could be possible that it varies by location, and that the store you went to was less accommodating than mine, but I'd be more inclined to believe them, that they didn't have a replacement for your particular model. They do have 6 different configurations to keep in stock. My experience was...

They didn't offer to replace it in the store directly? When I went in with light bleed on my display they went straight to the stock room to grab a brand new unit within the first minute of the conversation. I walked out with a brand new SurfaceBook about a half hour later. And my issue was...

The replacement I got on Sunday appeared to be brand new in box, or at least it was packaged the same way my original came with a seal on the box even. How many chargers have you tried? Could you just have a bad charger or 2?

For the record I bought my SB at Best Buy, and I just had a very positive experience at an MS store. My SB recently developed some pretty bad light bleeding right around the top center of the screen - near the camera. I took it in to the MS store expecting to have to fight for a replacement...

I'm seeing the same thing as well on my brand new SB (brand new in that it was replaced today at the MS store). I have what someone above said was the latest version of the Surface app, but it doesn't show the pen button options. As I just did 2 major reinstalls of the System (the initial...

I use Device Manager and look under Disk Drives. It should show your main drive and the model number of it. Most of us are finding Samsung MZFLVNNN where NNN is the size of the drive in gb. For the record I just had my i7/16/512/dGPU SB replaced at the MS store and the new one came with a...
