Was interested but already know it'll be too expensive to get the spec I want. GGs MS.

Not looking forward to seeing the MS UK pricing of the Surface book 
But we have VAT included which means 588 + vat = £705.
In US their taxes work very differently their sales tax ranges from 0% to 9.9% (I think) so that £588 isnt what many people will pay.

Really love the Surface Book. Looks absolutely awesome.

I think the budget for my trip to the USA next year has just increased!

This, I'm in NYC over new year, and presuming its not 3 foot deep snow I'll be taking a trip out...
Someone needs to compare the Pro 4 to the tablet part of the Surface Book though and see how they go side by side..
Also, I want them to bring out a Book type keyboard with GPU and battery etc for the 4 Pro...

At least on the spec side: http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/6/9...feature-comparison-ipad-macbook-surface-pro-4

Why does the Surface 3 on Windows 10 still default to handwriting with pen touch in a text box.
There is seemingly no way to change it to keyboard, and there's forum topics everywhere about the issue.
Lol Microsoft, ruining my tablets.

Can anyone recommend me somewhere to get a Surface Pro 2 charger? They're out of stock on the MS website and I haven't seen any 'legitimate' looking websites offering proper official products either. Already on the second charger as they seem really naff as it is. MS don't want to know at all.

I don't think they have been made for a while. I tried to get one with my John Lewis warranty but they ended up giving me money to buy a 3rd part one which broke very quickly.
Just get a 3rd party one if needed. Bit of a silly attitude to waste an expensive product just for the charger.

Thanks Glaucus. Just a bit annoying that the last replacement, which was about a year into ownership, ended up being one the john lewis bloke pulled out of his desk draw because they didn't have any even then!

Keyboard does look a lot nicer, I'll be playing when I get to NYC over New Years...

Apparently there is going to be a recall for the power cords on every Surface Pro tablet released before the Pro 4 and sold before July 15th 2015.
Microsoft are said to make the announcement regarding the voluntary recall on Friday.
