Skipped the Pro 3 and have been happy with my Pro 2, Would be nice to get some more juice for video editing in Vegas but depends how well the 4th gen cpus compare to the 2nd gen ones I guess.
In no rush to get it, but if it turns out to be a monster then il slap the cash down.

Pre ordered a Teal Keyboard. Going to order the new dock as well. Upgrades my SP3 if I decide to keep it.
Undecided on the Pro 4 I think I will pre order one and see what early USA reviews have to say about battery life and fan noise.
If fan noise and throttling have improved over the 3 I'll keep the order.
Going to have to be the i7 16GB 256GB.
Preordered the i5 8GB version. Would have liked the i7 version for the Iris graphics but the HD 520 should be enough for me.
I was considering the dock but the price was just too much
. I'll stick with my compact Anker USB hub.

Compared to my silent i7 desktop it makes more noise unpredictably than I would prefer.
Beastly. I had no doubt you would go for the 16GB version
Im waiting for purple shirts to stock them, I have a gift card ready to be used
I'd have gone for an i5 with 16GB but MS decided not to sell these in the UK yet.
With 16GB I can open more Chrome tabs
p).Also saw on Reddit that the i7 might get a boost for general usage from the Iris Graphics.

I am tempted but the i5.
I want to know though what the exact model of the CPU is. What's with the lack of information in the specs? i5 and i7.. How about a model number?

The i7 must be either:
i7-6560U or i7-6650U
Based on the i5 having Intel® HD Graphics 520
Puts it to either:
i5-6200U or i5-6300U
Based on the TDP of 15W and the type of Graphics mentioned.
Me, if the Surface book won't be available until next year.
