Surface Book 2016 improvements

[unruledboy]

yeah, I know, its very first version is still in pre-order, but I watched the specs over and over again, more than 20 times of the videos, tons of hands-on, inside interviews etc, etc.

now, here comes what I believe the next version of Surface Book could be imprved:

• the gap could be narrowed
• USB Type-C support
• Battery life of the clipboard increass from 4 hours to 5-6 hours, without increasing the weight
• the win logo will glow
• fingerprint
• LTE

• Gap eliminated, hinge redesigned, no wobble - rock solid.
• Smart Frame - in Laptop Mode the bezels are ultra thin with 14.5" screen , in Clipboard mode the bezel increases so you can hold it 13.5" active.
• Fingerprint reader embedded in the screen.
• Pen button to disable touch while using the pen.
• 5-6 hour tablet/clipboard battery
• Backside RealSense Cameras with accurate 3D imaging and measurement system. example: Photo snap of a room puts the dimensions of the room and other objects into the photo. Photo of wall gets dimensions of wall, windows, doors. Switches, outlets...
• WiGig wireless networking, wireless display, and wireless docking for expanded capabilities.
• Optional Power Lid - Click the pen and the lid raises and fires up your favorite app.

IMO, if they don't do anything else, they have to get more battery in the clipboard. That's the only thing keeping me from buying it.

my colleague said the same thing, because of no GPS and LTE, deal breaker

that would like it same as Surface Pro. Don't think MS would do that

GSM/LTE

I still can't understand why they've not put this in a Pro model yet.

Mainly due to power draw and heat, LTE generates quite a bit of hear....

And also more battery. 2 good reasons.

I can't see this not happening.

In tablet-only use cases, the ability to prop it up on its own is invaluable.
