I thought you said you read the thread? NO ONE said it was okay because Macs have release issues too. Those were replies to people saying "should have gotten a MacBook instead", or some such silliness. As far as early adopters issues, you don't have to like it, accept it, or participate in it...

Here we go again...page views. Page views don't mean you were correct about anything. The link in the article don't mean you were correct about anything. All it means is people are interested in the Surface Book, and you made a dramatic title. The article was linked because it is several pages...

They are all new, they are called Skylake. Efficiency is the ability to do a given task with less energy. The only way this could be correct is if you ask very little of your processor. Given it can't do equal work, it couldn't do the same work with less energy. It is not nearly as good at...

Shipped from Suzhou, could be Foxconn. Not really sure many of these issues are assembly or hardware specific, though. Foxconn doesn't create drivers, and they certainly didn't code that resource pig, Edge, or the ads it handles poorly. Edge doesn't have the reported issues on any of my...

The basics of the design are operating as a computer. The reason you can't build one from scratch in your garage is because there is nothing elementary about it. The hinge, detachment, etc., are anything but basic or elementary. There does appear to be some issues with both the basic and...

You are probably right, that must have been an older generation. I am not having any luck with a SKU on the yet to be released current gen. I removed the info from my post.

The XPS 13 does not use a quad core Skylake. It uses an i5-6200U or i7-6500U, both dual core. The XPS 15 uses a quad core; either an i5-6300HQ or i7-6700HQ. While the i5 in the 15" is a quad core, it is only capable of a single thread per core (4 Cores, 4 Threads), while the i7 is a 2 thread...

I think you should reread the OP. That is clearly not what he did. What he did was make a post ranting about all of the issues he has heard have been experienced, some of which he also experienced. I have no issue with anyone discussing issues they are having, and a thread where everyone can...

I hadn't seen that site before, but all of the "gifs" I looked at there seem to be showing as MP4 video clips for me . Try a site like Search Animated GIFs on the Web - Giphy if you are just looking for test material.

Try right clicking --> open with --> web browser of your choice It does need to be a gif, but some photo viewers won't animate them.

The display, it is truly awesome. I am not much up on current display tech specs, but I watched Gotham on Netflix last night, and was really amazed. The blacks and shadows stay dead black, even with brightness all the way up. Gotham is shot with some artistic flair, and looked amazing on this...

I have no advice on your Book order, sorry. I'd probably cancel if they didn't at least provide some helpful info, soon. As far as the dock, I honestly can't believe they are charging $200 for it. That is what they charged for the SP3 dock. While I thought that was overpriced, too, at least...

Mine was set correctly by default.

Thanks, fixed mine. Any idea when they released that?

Hmm...got an update just now. Not sure what it does. Edit: Looks like it addresses ease of upgrading to Windows 10. I'm already on Windows 10! Lol. "This update makes improvements to ease the upgrade experience to Windows 10."
