Microsoft Launch Event - 6/10 @ 15:00 BST

I'm still more impressed kinda by Continum, I didn't realise the base came with it was as slick as that, I wonder just how much you can get away with?>

Is it me or was everything on point?
HoloLens showing gaming possibilities and that Hologun morphing around your hand was cool.

MS Band 2 addressed the issues with the one before, and also added more features and looks pretty nice ( looks better on the wist for sure).

Both phones looked better in real than I though from renders, interested to see what they mean by liquid cooling and if it really means they could push the CPUS more, but mostly for the Continumuimmiumijijm jm...aspect.

Nothing to be said about the SP4 and SB, they stole the show, that ending though.

THe presentation and two videos was just perfect.

Also, couldn't help but feel a Nokia/Lumia presentation style for the SB promo videos.

Best tech press release Ive seen in a long time.
Band 2 too little has changed for me to upgrade but the changes were needed so for anyone without a gen 1 its great.
Continum will be limited until more apps support it but I can imagine being able to just sit at a desk and to wirelessly and effortlessly connect to BT kb/mouse and Wireless display and just work then just get up and leave. Sounds so useful for so many jobs.
But on the whole I think Ill keep my 930 unless the 950 can do wireless payments that the 930 cant.
Holo lens if its even close to what they show is amazing but that dev kit price tag :O.

Surface book looks utterly fantastic really wanna see the specs of the gpu etc and exactly whats inside base etc.
Well done MS.

Yep it appears to be surface pro 4 more or less, then battery, gpu and possibly a second CPU in base. He did say 2xcpu but he wasn't that clear or I wasn't paying attention.

Come on store update. Want to see full specs.

I'm going to try very hard to blag one of these as my work laptop!

Shouldn't be hard, we currently run a lot of rather over priced Dell XPS12s and XPS13s, and have a number of Surfaces floating about.
 
So when he said dual chip. He just meant the gpu in the base, and the in built gpu on the I series.

As nice as the surface pro 4 is, think I'm going to have to go Lenovo at $699 for the core m and including the keyboard, I can't justify what an extra $400 for the surface, unless Lenovo gets bad reviews.

Rofl original band on US store $129 on uk store £169.

Yes, Must be like similar on board Graphics like with the i5/i7 chips in the actual tablet part.

Then the bigger stronger GPU in the base.
 
Book looks interesting too say the least, the video makes it look a tad like its cheap white plastic but if its anything like the Surface that sholdn't be the case. The fans on the tablet side ruin the design for me personally (never going too use it as a tablet) but as whole it looks solid.

I might actually get one if its easy enough to install Linux on it since windows is such a pain for anything work related. But honestly doubt it will hurt mac as everyone is shouting, I think some people don't understand the appeal off the Mac. Its either cause its has OSX, or its the cool hipster thing.
 
Watching SP4 ad video.

* Fingerprint reader is available in the US only. Why?
 
Nice to see the new Type cover is backwards compatible too, should be loads of secondhand SP3s on the market and with a new Type cover that should do nicely.

Just have to dissuade my wife from the Surface Book, she was literally saying a few days ago she wished there was a laptop like the Yoga that you could also detach the screen from - uhoh :p
