Issue 1 - Amazon - I have no idea what happened to Prime where shipping is concerned but it is flat out BULL. I paid for Overnight and recieved the item A WEEK later. This is becoming the norm, but when you drop $3k, you kind of want your new toy now.
When it showed up, the unboxing was great and I was VERY IMPRESSED with the unit itself. Well made, sleek, light, just a geeky geeky dream.
Issue 2 - Amazon - This was sold as NEW, at unboxing, I find the pen did not have the battery blocking plastic piece. I seriously doubt I was the first person to use this item after it left Microsoft. The pen DID NOT WORK.
So, I went online, no easy way to call Amazon, I ordered new batteries for the pen (in case that was the issue). Waited 2 more days (Yay Prime SHipping worked for 6 batteries). I inserted the new AAAA per instructions, still dead.
Issue 2 - Microsoft Service - So, I went online to Microsoft Support. I thought "surely they will just send me a new pen for my $3k product". I was wrong. After dealing with a non-English speaker reading from a script, I was told to return the unit to Amazon.
So, I did. I did not ask for a replacement and I am not buying the new Surface Desktop as planned either. I vote with my $$$. I'll keep my $6k, Amazon and Microsoft can keep thier broken pen!
I am not telling anyone else what to do here, just relating my experience.
I've owned 4 or 5 different laptops over the years and none have come close to the Microsoft Surface Book. just prior to buying this one, I purchased a different brand of laptop from a big store, It was significantly larger in size and had a detachable keyboard. I had it for a week and returned it. Had trouble with it right out of the box, did not run right at all and kept shutting down. And it turns out, it was way too big for me anyway. I didn't like how the keyboard detached and I didn't like how big the tablet was. I am SO glad I returned that one and found the Surface Book on Amazon.
So, I was a bit concerned at first that the Surface Book would be a little too small for me because I always had bigger laptops, but that turned out to be what is so great about it. I can take it anywhere. I put it in the case I bought with it and take it everywhere. Fits perfectly in my backpack.
The detachable keyboard is awesome. One button to detach and I'm working on an awesome tablet. Line it back up and it locks itself back in. it is so cool, I can't say enough good things about it.
I've had it for a couple of months now and I have not had a single issue, not one complaint and no regrets. I really enjoy working on it and have never been able to say that about any other laptop that I had in the past. It's just fun.
I can honestly say that the Microsoft Surface Book (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB) with Windows 10 Anniversary Update is THE BEST and most ENJOYABLE laptop I have ever owned. I have, and will continue to recommend it to everyone.
I might have gotten a Surface Pro tablet, which would have suited my needs well enough, but I chose the Surface Book for a couple reasons. First, I do a lot of work on the bus and Surface tablets use a kickstand to remain upright, which would have required me to bring a lapdesk with me everywhere I go. Since the dock for this is more like a single-piece laptop, it's more convenient to just sit on my lap whenever. Second, I've used a Surface tablet before. I like this keyboard better. I prefer the touch-pad mouse to finger-scrolling on the tablet itself. Third, and what most would probably view as the main draw, is that this has actual USB and SD card ports.
If none of those things are an issue for you, save your money and just get a tablet. They're less expensive and function the same.
As for how the computer runs, it's about as well as you'd expect--functional with some hiccups. It struggles with media heavy websites (gifs, videos, etc... Tumblr is the bane of its existence, Facebook can slow it down depending on how video heavy my feed is). I'm not sure if that's because I use FireFox instead of Edge, but I'm not sure why that should make a significant difference. On my (also Windows 10) desktop I never have such an issue, so I suspect it just doesn't have the computing power for such web content.
It runs the Office programs very well. I've rarely had issue with unresponsive programs (though it does happen). I haven't installed many non-Microsoft products on it, yet, but iTunes works on it better than on my desktop. It tells me that using FireFox instead of Edge drains my battery quicker, but I'm not so sure. I'll get to the battery in a second.
It comes with the Windows Ink Workspace: Sticky Notes, Sketchpad, and Screen Sketch.
Sticky Notes is pretty straightforward: It works as a Post-It on your desktop. Easy to edit and delete, plus you can change the color of the note to match your theme, if you care that much. I don't really use this.
Sketchpad--I hate it. It's the most basic of the basic. You get one pencil shape in adjustable sizes and 30 preset colors, one pen shape in adjustable sizes and 30 preset colors, one highlighter shape in adjustable sizes and 6 preset colors. The eraser tool erases the entire line, rather than just a small portion of it. No layers. So far as I can tell, there's no way to start a new image, you just have to save as and then clear the current image. If you want to draw on this thing, definitely invest in a proper program. Sketchpad is the digital equivalent of doodling in the margins of your high school math notes, but with less control.
Screen Sketch is the exact opposite; I love it. It takes a screenshot of whatever the user is currently working on and immediately opens it for editing. It has the same incredibly basic set up as Sketchpad, but it's only meant for making quick notations on your screen, so I don't suspect the average person would need as much editing power for it.
The battery... confuses me. 90% of my use so far has been browsing the internet--online shopping, Facebook, video streaming. I will be streaming video one day and it will say "65% battery, 7 hours remaining" and the next day I will be just browsing Facebook and it will say "78% battery, 5.5 hours remaining." I understand that different tasks require more or less computing power, and therefore drain the battery at different rates. But I can't imagine that aimlessly scrolling through Facebook takes more power than streaming video, especially when the battery has a higher charge.
Overall, I don't regret this purchase, the Surface Book performs as I need it to, but I'm not sure I would buy it again. Even getting it on sale at Christmas, this is much more expensive than the Surface Pro tablets, with an insignificant amount of performance difference. Knowing what I know now, I think I would forego being able to work on the bus and the touch-pad mouse to save a couple hundred bucks. Having the USB port is nice, but I can easily access my work through OneDrive and am rarely anywhere where I can't access WiFi of some sort, so they aren't a total necessity for me.
