Looking for a reason to buy the Surface when a laptop is probably better

I decided to go with the Surface Book rather than the SP4.

Reasons for me:
- High-quality but still detachable keyboard / cover
- Keyboard backlighting - key motion design
- Full size SD port
- Screen size

Either would be a fine choice. I think the SP4 keyboard is also backlit.
I have had the 14" Lenovo X1 Carbon as my Laptop of choice but I think the Surface Book may 'edge' it out.

All I can say is, wow! The Surface Book announcement seems likes a direct response to my thread I almost pre-ordered but have some questions. I wish they followed up the conference with a more in depth technical discussion. Also, the SP4 seems to have a much better touchpad and keyboard, two of the things I was weary about with the SP3.

What questions do you have? I've just spend the past 5 hours reading everything there is to know about the new releases lol.
