It's very pretty, I'll give them that.

It's as if you're not even /engineer/
>>52547420
Let me guess, it's one of those "freebies" you get for signing up for a 20k+/year college?
>>52547566
Nope, company bought it for me to fiddle with.
Can it run Ubuntu?
>>52547566
Probably work.
>>52547589
Well let's hope your input is worth throwing $2300 down the drain then.

That silver logo is not fitting.
>>52547689
the entire thing is a joke with how hard it is trying to be a macbook
>>52547184
Install Linux Mint and make a screenfetch. You'll thank me later.

Why
>>52547082
"The computer reinvented. Surface book is the first device of this type. This innovating and perfectly made portable computer is the ideal creation tool, made to adapt to your work style, with a tactile interface, a pen and a mouse."
They can't hire proper translators. Fuck me, even Stallman's French is better.
>>52547082
Itll be ~$700 on cowboom here in a few months. I almost guarantee it.
>>52547903
Because you can make a screenfetch with it, but I'd suggest you to stop here, I don't want to start a flame war in this thread.
>>52547420
That keyboard looks shit
>>52548011
It is plasticy and shit. The trackpad is way worse though. Skips around constantly.
>>52547550
so what? expense better shit.
>>52547184
How much is 8GB/Go of RAM?
>>52547082
you got cucked
> 47W quad core i7 vs 15W dual core Pentium 7
> 15 inch retina display vs 13 inch glossy shitty display
> Iris Pro graphics with dedicated memory vs Intel HD meme graphics
> 2GB Radeon M370X vs Cut down 940M with only 1GB and no drivers
> about the same footprint
> macbook is even thinner
> about the same weight
> Force-touch touchpad vs fail imitation
> Comes with OS X, not botnet 10.
> Upgradeable SSD in the macbook vs glued down everything in the surface.
> No forced updates
> No Telemetry
> No bugs and crashes
> Free Office alternative (iWork) vs paid piece of crap
> etc etc etc
> Surface manages to be more expensive
Only cucks would buy something like that.

Fuck do I know how expensive murrican colleges are... I'm from a country where higher education doesn't have tuition fees.
>>52547082
I've used one a few times at my local best buy, it's honestly one of the best feeling laptops I've ever used. It's got a beautiful display, a great keyboard and trackpad, but they had to make it a fucking detachable which made it ridiculously over priced.
Still so nice though. If I'm not poor in the future I might pick one up, although it will be pretty hard to justify it though.
>>52549278

My company is gonna order some in February. Should I advise them not to and buy dell XPS 15/13's instead?
>>52547465
I love using my surface pro 3. I do have a main desktop machine as well, however.
>1GB Dedicated GPU
It has a 3000x2000 screen, what's the fucking point.
>>52548138
global offensive ram m8 better for dem hacks
>>52549159
Uhh the fees are in your taxes so even if you don't go to college you're still paying for college.
>>52549614
It's not for gaming you nerd.
>>52549796
not that anon, but even for light media consumption that's not enough vram to run 3000x2000. Aero/Metro alone will take up all of that. where is your h.265 decoding gonna happen, I mean you wanna watch your video in full HD right? the screen supports it.
I don't understand these portable tablet for artists.
I'm do a lot of digital illustration and I fell for the artist tablet laptop meme when it was called the surface pro 2. I sold it after like a month when it became apparent I don't need to draw anything at a fucking starbucks. I'll stick with my cintiq.
Who has one of these and when do you find use for it?
>>52549928
>Who has one of these and when do you find use for it?
Nobody. It's a gadget; A piece of technology that you buy because it's new and cool, not because it's useful.
>>52549828
Are you retarded? Cell phones can run 4K screens.
>>52547082
Yea I can't really can't believe the high prices on the Surface Books. Real nice devices to use though.
I got a Surface Pro 3 myself, love it.

What's wrong with it?
>>52548141
Poorfag detected.
People who buy Surface products use them as production devices to make money and claim them on tax expenses. Macfags however buy shit to pretend that they're not poor.
>>52549928
That's because Wacom penabled is fucking garbage. Ntrig is so much better for portable art work, I had the Surface Pro 1 and the cursor is always way off and edge accuracy is non-existant, with Ntrig, the cursor is always perfectly under the pen tip.
Also, I don't have a Cintiq so I rely on my Surface 3. I use it at work, in the train and at home.
>>52547082
>>52547184
How are you enjoying it? Is the keyboard much different from the SP4 one? I love mine.
Lacks a numpad. Into the rubbish bin it goes.

wow the juxtaposition of an incredibly expensive processing device a newspaper and possibly one of the shittiest sugar laden cereals imaginable. please eat real food al else is bull shit
...ok please would you be kind enough to indulge my curiosity. What type of milk do you use?
>>52551903
I'm not too impressed with the battery life on mine. How much do you usually get? I figure about 5 hours of solid use burns mine down 80%.
>>52552740
I get 7-8 hours on a full charge if I'm not running VMs. You can get more if you disable the power boost thing by intel.

>>52549069
It's one of those Nvidia GPUs which are barely better than the Intel iGPU, so it almost wasn't worth bothering including it
>>52552836
3.25% is that some food marketing bollocks?
or are we talking butterfat content
if that's unskimmed milk that's a pretty low fat content I guess the herds must be more of the extreme high yield holsteins probably feeding off a high cereal or maize based forage, alternatively they're skimming off the rest of the fat and selling it, hmm is it uht?
>>52553093
porridge and muesli are ridiculously cheap alternatives that actually contain far higher Vitamins and minerals than the fortified kellog$ junk ever will steer well clear of foods that are mostly sugar coated maize meal on principal milk sourced from herds feeding nutrient rather than energy dense forages are slightly more expensive but significantly higher in healthy fats and fat soluble vitamins such as E and A
bye
>>52547082
It's a macbook minus the status symbol
That means it's literally garbage
>>52549708
not if you leave. And all the other people who didn't go are helping you foot that bill. Good deal for those who go, shit for everyone else.
>>52553093
3.25% fat... People usually drink 2%
POO IN LOO, Pajeet
yeah but that's the point the whole 2% crap is bullshit
the more you fuck around with milk the the less healthy it is oxidised fat molecules degraded protein structure
the amount of fat in your diet isn't actually that important the types of fat are much more significant
The whole reduced fat argument is just marketing
2-3.25% huh so say 200ml so that's about 2.5g difference so at around @30Kj/g = 75KJ less relatively speaking the energy content is still pretty negligible but as I mentioned if you could actually buy nutritionally dense milk in the first place rather than the white water low end commodity crap common to north america then the healthy fats and vitamin content would actually matter, if you care about anything care about good nutritionally dense foods produced to high standards
what I was trying to highlight was the fact that so much effort is invested into work but the quality of a diet is often ignored completely under the mantra of cheap food
>>52553787

>>52551903
I've used both SB and SP4 keyboard for a while, and the SP4 keyboard actually wins for me if you're on a flat surface (get it?) The SB I used had uneven keyboard backlighting and travel felt way too shallow. SP4's keyboard when in the alt magnetic hover mode feels more tactile.
>>52553003
Yeah for gaming, but cuda accelerated programs benefit from it.
Put GNU/Linux on it
>>52553003
If I'm not mistaken I think these can actually come with the 970m.
So they fucked up. Maybe marketing thought people were stupid to care beyond the generic "Hurr I got an NVIDIA gaming card"
>>52555459
?? They marketed it for rendering and graphic design.
>>52547082
I was disappointing with the price too
Should be $400-800 cheaper depending on the features of the surfacebook
it just makes no sense on the low end,
$1500 for 128gb + i5 + 8gb ram
I could buy a laptop with better specs than that still have money left over for a tablet AND be less than the lowest tier
>>52555459
>970m
no it's not. it's a low tdp custom part with no set name but that's very comparable to a 940m with 2GB of GDDR5.
>>52547103
