I ordered a Surface book through Amazon thinking it was a great deal... I got the 512/16GB/Nvidia GPU... But just realised that it's the version without the sunken keyboard, which I believe makes it a first generation model... Is it going to be able to keep up with me? My last computer was the...

I just left my job & the mean people wanted my 6 month old Surface Book back! ... So what did I do? I went and bought the exact same model. It's the i7; 512; Nvidia GPU version and I got a reasonable deal on it. Should I have gone for the Book 2? Nah, I don't plan to have a real job very...

Put your £450 on the McGregor v's Mayweather fight... Use your incredible winnings to buy another Surface Book and pen... Simples

I know someone who worked for Sony... Everyone had iPhones and Blackberrys... No wonder Sony are in so much trouble

Thanks EuroKnuter, I got a Mini DP to DP cable and all is now good with the world. The external monitor is working at a high resolution and most of my issues are sorted. I'm actually warming to the device and have found the stylus/flipped screen setup quite useful when marking up drawings and...

Btw, what phone does she have? If it's Apple go for a Mac, if it's Android or another, go for Windows... Apple is like a Canadian Tuxedo... You don't just wear a denim shirt... if you're going do that you also wear the jeans, denim converse etc... It's all or nothing. So if you have an Apple...

My preferred ecosystem is Android... My phone and my tablet... The tablet is my entertainment centre and web browsing device, I also have a Nvidia Shield for media consumption and Android Auto in the car. Apple computers don't really want to work well with that scenario, so my work PC is a...

Chrome, because it shares across my laptop, phone and tablet... I don't have to care what device I'm using, my information is just there... Haven't opened edge yet...

I'd like to see the Surface Book with a slightly smaller display, a lightweight detachable keyboard and a kickstand... Maybe they could remove the GPU and put the entire battery in the screen portion...

Got my Surface Book at the end of last week... Have been getting bugs throughout the weekend. I put in a few solid hours this morning trying to sort things out... Windows is up to date. After relentless attempts, the doc is now up to date. I'm hoping it's on the road to smooth operation... The...

Thanks for all the help, I finally made a decision, yet to see if it's the right one...

Thanks for all the feedback... It's difficult to get a clear answer to this one, most of the reviews that put them against each other don't actually give a conclusion, instead just straddle the line and pander to their readers/viewers.

Well... The Surface Laptop I ordered didn't turn up... instead, the good people who run our IT have ordered a Surface Book, which did arrive. After reading them the riot act, and telling them to send it back, I now need to listen to them make excuses about how difficult it was to get the...

... but I chose a Surface Laptop... All the reviews are picking at the mid and entry level devices, but I'm a creative professional, working at management level & I have very clear criteria for choosing the Surface Laptop, and I'd imagine many others do too... I haven't had a laptop for the...
