Ok, how do I begin... I have had the $2699 Surface Book since Day 1. Since then, I have gone back to the MS Store for exchanges due to sleep/short battery life issues (6 hrs -> half of the 12 hrs promised). I am now on my 4th unit; and still, after all the updates thus far, nothing power-related...

Is anyone having a hard time with pinch to zoom on the touchpad? It's not very responsive, and most of the time, it moves the cursor instead of zoom. It's very consistent with quick pinching, but when you pinch slowly to just get the view a little bigger or smaller, it becomes a pain for me...

When it increase the # of lines, this happens: Windows Explorer: No change Edge Browser: No change MS Word: No change Drawboard PDF: No change Chrome Browser: Speeds up Adobe Acrobat: No change Maybe someone else can confirm.

Does anyone else wish that scrolling on touchpad and screen were faster? No matter how fast I flick my fingers, it takes a while to scroll through long documents.

Pinch-to-zoom is now buttery smooth and rarely fails! I love it!

I just updated to the November update and I no longer have the problem with the right half of the touchpad. Good job Microsoft. Let's keep it going. Moreover, pinch-to-zoom works with Chrome now, albeit, it changes the size of the font instead of just simple zooming, which I prefer, but I...

This has got to be a common issue. I just played with a Surface Book at Best Buy today and the touchpad on it exhibited the exact flaw that my touchpad has on the right half.

David, interesting. So it's not just my unit. I wonder if that's a hardware or a software issue.

7.5 hours is not bad in general, but with regard to a claim of ~12 hours of battery life, IT'S BAD. We've been sold on excellent battery life, not "not bad" battery life. That's not what I bought into. My 3 year old Ivy Bridge Samsung Series 9 ultrabook promised 7 hrs and I still get 5 hrs out...

It sounds like it might just be my unit--which is good news overall.

Friction is consistent. Try scrolling really slowly. The problem is more pronounced with slow scrolling than fast scrolling.

You guys gotta try this out for yourselves. I've noticed that two-finger scrolling on the left half of the touchpad is more responsive than on the right half. Now maybe it's just my unit, so I'd appreciate some feedback. Here is how I scroll: I use my middle and ring fingers on my right hand...

Well, I can't even access Windows Update since I can't pull up the Start Menu or search in the search bar. I guess I'm going to have to restore my Surface Book to factory settings and start all over again.

Absolutely

After last night's update: Cannot access Start Menu Cannot access Notification Center Some icons in Notifications Area are unresponsive (battery, wifi, volume) Neither keyboard nor touch will work on these.

Were these problems that you previously had with the final build?

I love my new Surface Book except for the touchpad, which is a huge point of frustration for me. Inconsistent scrolling across programs/apps Smooth on Edge, semi-smooth on Office, jumpy on Visual Studio Not always responsive with 2-finger gestures Scrolling up/down sometimes moves the cursor...
