Thanks for the honest and great review of Surface laptop. In the review you talk a bit about W10s and your experience.Do you think that it might be worth MS's efforts to produce an actual proper W10 lite that is super optimized for MS surface products and other approved OEM rigs and designed for crazy speed and substantial battery power savings?

In simple terms, the main difference between S and Pro is the ability to add apps from outside the store. In almost every users experience bad things happen when you use non-certified apps. Background updates are another thing; such features contribute to 'system rot' in the long run and degrade OS performance in the long run. Using Win 10 Pro strictly limited to the store is pretty much (and if i'm not wrong) the same as win 10 S. Win10 is best optimised for the surface devices... just saying

All you've said above is absolutely true. What I am wondering is that whether MS will produce a W10s that is not upgradable at all. Just a simple, much leaner OS (by getting rid of all the stuff that makes W10s upgradeable) that will only run on what is in the store and have that as an option too. Would there be an upside to doing this? Just wondering.
