Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great computer for designers and artists
This is one robust machine, unlike many reviews that talked about the tablet size being a bit too big I think this one is the smallest I would go for the purpose I use it. I am designer and fine artist and having a robust tool where I can directly sketch on to the screen while not confined to an office is a great advantage. It is powerful enough that I can run high-end 3D applications and do my digital paintings on the go. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that if I detach the screen so that I can lay it flat on a surface to really dive into digital painting, the keyboard is non functional. Although there is a workaround by getting a blue tooth keyboard, doing so kind of defeats the purspose of the advertised versatility of the product. Maybe in future generations one can use the keyboard and screen in the de-attached mode and then this will definitely be the best product ever, especially if Microsoft makes a 15". I have spoken to many fellow artists and we agree this product is insanely good but the part of the functional keyboard when the screen is de-attached is a con against it, many high end painting and sketching programs are more efficient to use when one has a keyboard for tool shortcuts, etc. In the mean time there is nothing else that comes close it, it is powerful, lightweight and versatile.

Very expensive laptop but top performer
The laptop construction is comparable to that of Apple Mac Book Pro. I love the metal construction. The Surface Book is super fast, it boots up on a dime. The keyboard white letters are problematic, hard to see under certain conditions and the letters should be black. The keyboard is too light for when you tilt the screen past a certain point the cg changes and the laptop tips back. These are minor engineering design problems. The batteries do not give you the operational hours advertised; a couple of hours overrated. Even though the screen resolution is a whopping 2000x3000, I don't think the picture is as clear and bright as the Retina Screen on the Mac Book Pro. All in all the computer is great but very, very pricey.
