Anyone decided to buy Surface book?
-
Always wanted to have a Surface device, now that Pro 4 and the book is coming out, i am thinking of getting the book, but i would love to go with the high spec 16GB, 512, i7
-
First I've even heard of it!
-
Microsoft Book Tablet / Laptop in 1 unit.
It's a pretty slick piece of hardware.
-
I got to play with one in a Microsoft store. VERY nice.

If NTG wants to give out MangoCon Prizes this might be a Grand Prize
(the 1TB /i7 16GB RAM and a dGPU of course) -

You mean haven't heard of Surface book? Thats surprising
-
It's not quite fully baked, I reckon book 2 will nail it on the "I want one" factor.
-
Yes, been waiting for Surface Pro and i had almost decided to get the 4, and then MS dropped the book and i am confused!
Its a high power beautiful machine, and the reviews seems to be good except some reporting the battery time. Still confused if i get a Pro 4 for now and later on may be get the book on the next version

Do you have a mint in your back pocket? lol
Sure if money was no issue, I'd get a Book and a Book 2 when released.

When it comes to the UAE, we have a plan on our credit card, for an islamic bank, any electronics you buy, you get 0% instalment plan for 6 months, I am not using my cards for anything, and this is a good deal for me, most of my devices when i buy i used this

The flaws as I've heard them so far on the Surface Book:
top heavy, this causes it to not balance well on your laptop making it near unusable on your lap.
Battery life of tablet piece is only 3 hours
other minor glitches, being fixed through software updates.All this said, I really like the look and wish I had the $2K to drop on one, but my 2 year old Yoga Pro 13.1 really does everything I need it to today, so it would only be spending money for a new toy.

I really don't have a laptop now, at work i have a massive Lenovo W540 for my SP works, its 32GB RAM laptop. At home i have an iMAC and use iPAD mini. There are times where i wanted to have a laptop but been waiting for Surface pro 4

$1500 to start? Um.... no.

yeah, sadly I think they are trying to pull an Apple.

It's interesting that they're so verbal about it being a Macbook competitor, but I understand it because the Mac market is that giant piggy bank that PC vendors want to bust open. I see it more as being a Helix, or a HP Spectre x360, competitor. Powerful, full of ports, detachable. The discrete graphics in the base is very cool. If you have that base the battery life will shoot down to the 4 hour range.
I think MS is really hitting a niche market here. I've conducted heavy trials with 4 other hybrid machines and each one had its flaws; you have to pick your two most important features and sacrifice the rest. This one, even at its price-point, could take the cake.

That's exactly how I felt when I saw it.

I'm not going to buy one but I would not be opposed to the idea of them sending me one just because.

I once emailed Microsoft (years ago) if they could give me a copy of Windows 7 in exchange for a hug, they politely declined.
