I've read in a couple of places that Microsoft is aware of some issues with the trackpad and is fixing them.

Hope I didn't discourage you from getting the second :) I'm sure you'll love it. Having the little SP3 sandwiched between those two beasts as your primary is a little odd, but you know your needs best! I used to have a 5 monitor display array just for the heck of it hehe - but I used spare...

Have you seen the 34" curved monitors in person? They're massive :) First, I think you'd have problems aligning them on your desk - you certainly don't want them perfectly centered or you'd have the bezel directly in front of your eyes. So you'd probably have one main monitor and one monitor on...

Called support to cancel my initial order. I asked about the shipping date of the new order and it was a little difficult to understand her response. The lady said "it's no problem. You will not receive the surface book on the release date. On the release date you will receiving a tracking...

I would imagine the overwhelming majority of Surface Pro owners are not artists. Adding physical buttons would either decrease the size of the screen or increase the size of the device which would lead to less sales and eventually the demise of the product. A good analogy is sports cars like...

I just ordered the 512GB/16GB with a shipping time of 7-8 weeks :( Going to cancel my previous order... even though it would have been here on the 26th :(

I was thinking the same thing. SB fits my needs better, but I get more value for my money with the SP4. Then again, the larger SB display is probably most beneficial to me. Argh! Microsoft didn't make it easy on us.

There's some preliminary benchmarks of the Surface Book on reddit (using Unity's webgl benchmark): My MS store has a DGPU surface book. What tests can I run? • /r/Surface

The Surface Book is very interesting :) I'm sure there was demand for a larger Surface Pro and had Microsoft created a 13.5" Surface Pro (instead of the Book form factor) I think I would have bought that. I'm sure they did studies or research and found that the weight of the SP3 is the limit of...

Just wanted to mention in case anyone missed the other thread that all models are now available for pre-order (though with lengthy shipping wait of 5-6 weeks or 7-8 weeks).

It's actually available now - but with a ship date of 5-6 weeks :(

@FBI Informant - Yeah I also wanted to compare them side by side to see the weight difference but the MS store employee got in the way (frustrating...!). So I was walking back and forth between the SP4 table and the SB table trying to compare them. I think most people will prefer the SB tablet...

MS chat representative confirmed that it cannot be ordered from retail stores. But I'm going to stop in and check anyway.

All options for the Surface Book now say "Email me when available". Do you think it's simply good marketing on Microsoft's part?

Does anyone know if I can preorder the 16GB in the stores (even though it's sold out online)?

Having both XPS 15 + Surface seems odd to me. Seems like an admission that Microsoft failed. The point of the Surface is to merge the two form factors (tablet and laptop). If you're going to use two devices anyway, maybe it makes sense to have a real tablet and not a 2 in 1 to go with the XPS...

>> Only issue I encountered playing with it for an hour was that the touchpad occasionally did not respond until I would disconnect and reconnect the keyboard. Early pre-release bugs? I've encountered this bug on pretty much every SP4 I used (within 5 minutes of using the device) - I mentioned...

I've been using a mac for some time and I actually thought it was a bug that Fn1 and Fn2 on the keyboard did not change the brightness of the screen. I found out they were for changing the brightness of the keyboard backlighting.. strange... I didn't know it was something people needed quick...

When I tried out the SB in the store (i5 model), I could not find the Nvidia control panel anywhere, even when I right clicked the desktop. I tried windows-key and then typing "nvidia" and it only gave me links to the app store. As I mentioned in my review, I think the model I demo'ed did not...

I finally had a chance to take a look at the Surface Book. Display: I loved the display. It feels very light and thin in comparison to the SP4 - but that's subjective I didn't really compare them side-by-side. I realize it's technically not much bigger than the SP4, but it felt much bigger! I...
