Yes, but then I really wanted a Surface phone :) which this will not be. I'm thinking it may well occupy the space of a far more pocketable device along the lines of the iPad Mini/pocket notepad. So yes if I can use it as a tablet/phone hybrid then yes the tiles will serve me very well. If...

Doing more research I suspect it may work as DP 1.2 but limited to 30Hz

So LG is about to introduce a 21:9 monitor that looks quite interesting, with a 4.5K resolution of 5120x2160 the 32UK950. I am wondering if a SB2 15" can actually drive this high of a resolution on a single monitor at 60Hz. It would be only one such monitor but still being such a high...

Sorry I should have said USB C to mini DP. MS makes mini DP to HDMI and mini DP to VGA to cover folks who need a different format. Just seems odd that given the change to USB C as the "output" they didn't cover those bases with USB C adapters as well. USB C is notorious for adaptors that...

We're getting USB-C to HDMI, though what flavor of HDMI is not yet known (HDR capable?). But for me I need DP. Is MS working on a DP adaptor without going the route of an entire box? Or do we just go grab flavor of the day adaptor from Amazon? I'm not a fan of the cheap adaptors but perhaps...

Absolutely tested on dual 1080p monitors via the Dock and worked just fine. Dock is rated to handle up to 2 1440p monitors on the displayports. And several folks have tested 4k x2 @ 60 and failed trying even to use 1 on the dock and 1 on usb c. So the net takeaway is that you can do dual...

The 15 has fans in both the base and screen and a higher TDP spec (lookup the I7-8650u Intel spec sheet on "tdp up") bringing the base clock to 2.1. But you may prefer the higher portability of the 13.5.

Was it trying to do updates or scans while you were in clipboard mode? I haven't tested that mode from a battery time angle, but the many reviews I've read where they did try they at least got a few hours out of it. I use outlook (there is a new update for Office 2016 in the last couple days)...

It seems to lose about 7-10%/hour sometimes less if you are using it in a light wifi reading mode

866 Wifi speeds are a nice improvement The screen along with the enhanced colors is a treat Quad core is a speedy beast! 512 HD is no slouch Battery life is gargantuan - unheard of with this much power and a solid GPU for the plugged in gaming fury

It is a fantastic device - fast but seems likely to last 10+ hours on battery

Also viewing this on the 15/512. Now I'm kind of wishing I'd gotten 1TB LOL the pain was bad enough on this one but it's that "what if" syndrome...

Mine will be available tomorrow

Things that don't easily all come together in the same machine Quad core Extremely long battery life 10+ hours GTX 1050/1060 on top of that Higher build quality (even with the faults) than other vendors who charge similar amounts Touch screen and pen 2 year warranty where you walk in, get a new...

Sigh... I really hope it gets here tomorrow. I know it's best to have a fully baked cake and not to rush the baking process, but I'm quite looking forward to this device. Where I work remotely a lot, having it up and running as my work machine before Thanksgiving will be instantly useful...
