Here are my thoughts on the Microsoft Surface Book:
Pros:
1. 3000 x 2000 Screen (3:2 ratio) Gorgeous
2. Bright Display
3. Clipboard Mode great concept
4. Improved Surface Pen
5. Nice Keyboard
6. Best Windows Trackpad (still not as good as Mac trackpad)
7. Battery Life – About 10 hours (when docked)
8. Windows Hello great (when it works)
9. Premium feel and design (Magnesium Alloy)
Cons:
1. Expensive, starts at $1499 US
2. First Gen. Hardware Issues
3. Firmware update issues.
4. Screen Flickering
5. Video Driver Issues
6. Random Crashing
7. Top Heavy
8. A little heavy for category
9. Battery life clipboard is 2.5 hours
10. Keyboard backlighting against grey keys makes it hard to see keys
11. Ugly Hinge design (lobster tail)
7/10
“Nice first try, but not ready for Prime-Time.”
Don’t Buy until bug fixes are addressed.
