Which model do you have, too? I have the I5 with 4GB ram, so I don't use it in this configuration that much, since I have other machines with I7 and more ram.

This is what I was thinking too, but it sounds like you want to still do this with the screen off? If so, that wouldn't be possible. But I have used my SP4 connected to 1 external monitor while taking notes on the screen with OneNote--it works very, very well for this if you are using an...

What skin is that? That's gorgeous!

Hard to tell, but wouldn't surprise me--they've done a fairly good job getting them on TV. My wife watches Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, and Microsoft devices, the Surface Pro in particular, often show up prominently in the shows.

usually I need more screen space to run a few windows at a time so I switch to my Asus ux501 pro with an external monitor, or if I'm gaming I have another PC for that. the SP4 I have only has 4gb of ram also, so doing a lot of multitasking for work is usually not possible.

Mine has been great so far, but I use it maybe 1/3 of the time (I have 4 laptops personally, and 3 more computers at work). I love the portability and light weight though, so this is often my commute device.

Haha--not surprised at all. I have a MacBook Air in one of my offices for work, and a bit more than half the time I bring in my personal SP4 to work from instead. Far more portable and easier to work with for sure. I've had issues where my Air wouldn't turn on either, while it wasn't quite...

I like the idea of it, since it makes charging with a battery bank easier, though I do like the magnetic port too. Would be cool if they could do both, though likely more expensive. I saw reports too though from Mary Jo Foley saying it might just be the SP4 exact firm factor with Kaby lake.

Lenovo has a prototype "phone" that unfolds into a tablet--would be awesome if Surface Phone did something similar (though would need to look a lot better than this thing). Ignore the unsettling elf voice :wink:

I'm really liking it so far (have it on 3 devices now), but I'm a bit disappointed they pushed back some of the bigger elements of the update. Feels more like a cleanup than a real update at this point. Oh well, maybe RS3 will bring more to the table...

I just installed Diablo 3 and it works great. I'm using an i5 with 4gb ram.

Sure, couldn't hurt, but not a deal-breaker for me. The portability factor would be vastly improved if it was easier to charge on the go. I'm not too thrilled about having to keep an external brick with me--would be nice to be able to charge with a smaller cable setup.

I actually won my SP 4 at a conference, but always pined for one due to the portability and having a full OS on a tablet. For SP5 I'd say a big plus would be USB C (with charging for better portability) would be amazing.

Do you see Windows 10 on ARM leading to new tablets, or do you see this as being more for Chromebook or light-computer type devices? On a similar question, will the availability of Windows 10 on ARM will it be possible to root an Android device and either dual boot or install Windows on top of...

Slack is another must-have for me. And Windows Central and MS Power User.
