why in the fuck is the headphone jack up there
>>
>>52177963
i actually got swept up in the marketing and the announcement that Microsoft did when they first announced these devices. they have great hype men. I really wanted it but ot be honest with ya I couldn't justify the price so I ended up buying a ThinkPad x230t instead. This thing is a little too heavy to be just using it as a tablet but the stylus was what I really wanted to buy this thing for. It is a heavy tablet, great laptop and pretty awesome OneNote machine.

How do you plan on becoming rich, OP, if you are so comfortable with wasting money? Read some shit from Buffett, for example. He thinks that people like you are basically morons.

I can somewhat confirm this. Grabbing the base in the front corner to move it around like you would any other laptop takes some getting use to as the weight it mostly in the screen/tablet.
While it seems somewhat flimsy, it's rather secure. I'm actually more worried about breaking it when detaching the screen.

I'm very happy I went for it. I'm still waiting for the newness and wow factor to wear off though.

cool concept
-slightly overpriced
-tablet standalone batter is shit
-hinge design pisses me off slightly
-still no decent graphics card

overall not worth it to me

Is that codeword for "Please don't tell me how obvious i'm being ripped off"?
>>
>>52177963
I don't want anything to do with Microsoft or Apple. They sell sub-standard products and services at premium prices.
>>
>>52177963
It's been having some teething pains. To be expected with a first-generation product with some radical design elements. Also the GPU isn't as good as it could be. I say wait for the next one to come out.
>>
>>52177963
Surface 4 Pro is much better and more refined.

>tfw only Surface 3 non-pro
Don't really need better, it works perfectly fine for drawfagging.

Honestly I like the idea. However, it being so bloody expensive for only having (the highest end version) GT 950 or worse GPU isn't acceptable. I can only hope they make a "gaming" version that is more like the "luxury gaming" notebooks from Asus/MSI/Sager/ Razer that is both relatively thin/luxury materials for really powerful hardware inside.

The build of a Surface Book, with the mobo/CPU/RAM etc.. in the "tablet" part but the "dock" part having the discrete GPU, keyboard, and extended battery etc.. is bloody PERFECT for making a powerful gaming laptop that is also pretty damn portable. Take the time to put the cooling on the bottom for the higher grade GPU! Hell, make the bottom of it a little thicker or whatever and put in a GTX 970 at least or 980 Ti 8gb grade mobile GPU in there. That would be an amazing design. Otherwise, why even bother with a $2000+ notebook with a "discrete" GPU that is barely better than an integrated one.

It is nice it runs all the great apps in the Windows store fantastically

I just don't feel it warrants such a high price tag.
It feels like a surface + keyboard dock but costs 2x as much as a surface.

>>52178897
because its a detachable tablet..
If they put it on the keyboard then they would need to have 2 headphone jacks.
>>
I nearly bought one but after playing around with it in a store, I didn't think it was durable to handle all the traveling I do. Plus it's pretty crazy expensive for the specs offered. I went with a Thinkpad T450s instead.
>>
>>52183390
They could have put it on the lower part of the screen. It's a flaw.
>>
>>52177963

I bought one on amazon still have it but gonna return it for sure, amazon put a extended return date during the holiday season, got till jan 31st to ship out fuck you best buy with your two measly weeks
>>
>>52183086
This, I like this man's thought, for the price you definitely do not get anything that is worth it. But any of these convertible laptops is bad though. If you think about it you can get a high end gaming laptop for what you spent on the price of these. BTW I'm the X230T fag from earlier.
