Great Mobile device
Great laptop great tablet. The pen is great, great display. It boots in 3 to 5 seconds. It's fast, battery life is great except if you use the tablet separated from keyboard. I have the MS Display adapter that works well but I have to connect it manually every time I try to use it. So I just got a display to HDMI adapter.

Don't buy Surface - bad support & quality control
I was initially thrilled with this beautiful laptop, however, quality control seems to be an issue with MS Surface Books. In the first week, I had to have the stylus replaced because it wasn't working. Then, within a few months, the screen malfunctioned (a whole 1" section across the bottom lost touch sensitivity). I had to return the unit to the Microsoft store for a replacement. Then almost to the day on its 3 year anniversary (when 3 year warranty expires), yellow splotches began appearing on the screen and it was noticeably distended. After investigating, I discovered that the battery was expanding inside behind the screen and causing it to bulge. This is a known recurring problem that many people have experienced with Surface Books and other Surface models. Eventually the screen will crack or peel off. A laptop as expensive as this should NOT have so many defects and should last more than barely 3 years. Microsoft is charging $600 for a repair if it is out of warranty. I luckily got them to replace it under warranty, but it took weeks and then they sent me a poorly refurbished unit whose screen started to split from chassis in less than a month due to (drumroll please) an expanding battery behind the screen....Ugh. Now I'm going on my 3rd replacement! I'm hearing that this bulging battery is a problem with virtually all Surface models. And this issue has not been fixed in the new Surface Book 2 or 3. Buyer beware!!! How is this NOT a recall or class action lawsuit?

Microsoft builds defective products
Purchased Surfacebook i5, 256GB, dGPU on-line with expedited shipping. Out of the box it booted to the UEFI screen. Microsoft tech support disconnected my first call after about a 15 minute wait. Finally after spending a full day attempting to make their product work, they explained it was a hardware problem. Microsoft's solution was to send me a box to ship the defective unit back to them. Then they would send me a refurbished unit (if I wanted a used unit, I would have purchased one to begin with). This would take two to three weeks. This isn't my first experience with defective products from Microsoft. I had to return both my Xbox 360 and Xbox one because they were defective. I do not believe they can build a product that is not defective. My advice is to stay away from Microsoft hardware and buy a Mac. Apple may be slow to innovate and their products are expensive, but at least it works.
