I did the same thing on Friday. I have been toying with picking up a SP4 for a few months and my work issued Dell laptop has been having office problems and needs a re-image, so took the opportunity to buy one to see if it can replace the Dell and provide my OneNote pen based note taking goal. So far I'm loving it after just a few days. I got the same one you did.
I've been a Mac user for about 10 years, and had to go back to using Windows at work about 4 years ago... otherwise heavy in the Apple ecosystem for home use... which includes a lot of photography work in Lightroom. I've been very disappointed in Apple over the last few years and Microsoft seems to have found themselves and doing good things. I will see how the SP4 works out and may have to replace may Mac with a Surface Studio at some point. One step at a time though. I have a lot of questions and things to learn about the SP4, Windows 10, and the pen.
I was down to a couple of days left in my 30 day return period so decided to return the SP4 and wait to see what happens next week. I'm also considering going with one of the other competitors, namely the Acer Switch Alpha 12. They seem to come close on reviews, but are about half the price.
After using the SP4 (i5, 8G, 256G) for almost a month, I really like it. I'm still on the fence about whether I want to use a personally owned machine as my daily driver at work (not being on the domain, not having the same end point protection, no support, etc..). If I don't, I'd be primarily using it as a tablet for OneNote, and then as a personal computer. I did use it for some Lightroom work (I do a lot of photography) and it worked quite well... but as long as I still have my Mac on the desk I'd probably use that; although with syncing the libraries to OneDrive now; I could start working on them in the field.
Back to the return... I am not someone that likes to return things so was a little uneasy about going into the Microsoft store with my bag of goodies to return. I bought it with the dock bundle; and also bought the bundle of office 365, extended warranty, sleeve case, and keyboard. The receipt for these bundles was kind of strangely done. It listed some items at $0 and some at discounted prices, that added up to the total advertised. The guy that waited on me was quite happy about the fact that I was returning it and said he assumed I was returning it because of the announcement next week, and that he thought I was making a wise choice. He then proceeded to tell me that I could just keep the items that were listed as $0, but that he couldn't return Office 365 even though it was a sealed box still. I was cool with that part because it was discounted on the receipt; and I am already a subscriber so this is a renewal I'd buy anyways. But he let me keep the dock and sleeve case. While I don't get why a store would do that, it did cause me to rethink my buying decision. I had pretty much decided to get an Acer for about half the price and just wait and see how the market goes in the next few months. But now that I have the dock already... will wait to see what next week brings - new products and price movement on the SP4.
Will be eagerly watching the news this coming week to see what is next.
