Surface Book specs
When will this be available in India ? I want to buy the 16GB version of Surface Book. And no, will not buy, if they increase the price for Indian markets the way Apple does.
Hi
I am Shanmuga Subramanian, from Chennai, India.
1. Nokia Booklet 3G
Nokia was announced on 24 August 2009, It has Windows 7 OS. I am very much excited to get this, but it has not come to Indian Market.
2. Nokia Lumia 2520
Nokia was released on November 21, 2013. It has Windows RT Tablet. Even this I am expected to get but it also not come to Indian Market and later it is discontinued on February 2, 2015, becuase of Microsoft stop making Windows RT Tablet.
3. Surface Book
Finaly Microsoft announced on 6.10.2015. OS is Windows 10. All other features are as per technology advancement.
It will hit the Indian Market ? What will be the price in India? US $ 1,499.00 (INR Aprox 97,458).
I will hope it will hit Indian Market with good price.
So no USB Type C on this thing?
What the deuce is a "Surface Connect" port?? Proprietary for the dock? Or what?
Hopeless! Incomplete... Where is the wireless specs - eg wifi, bluetooth, nfc?
you got the weight wrong: Starting at 3.34 pounds (1,516 grams) including keyboard (http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/devices/surface-book#techspec-block)
Macbook goes down
I am thinking, i have a Lumia 630 now and i want a upgrade. But i also want a new laptop
Which do i buy first, the Lumia 950 or the Surface Book ?
Hard to say with this little information. The Lumia 950 you could buy with the Microsoft Display Dock truning it into a (desktop) PC. I need both since my phone subscription is about to end and my desktop is dead, Good luck with making the right choice!
Just have to mess up my girl's beauty parlor budget next month and I could get this one!!!!
Really stunning 2 in 1. I knew Apple was SCREWED when they released the new Macbook and all they had to say was how thin & pretty it was. Seriously?! By the time they get around to amalgamating iOS and OSX and leverage the iPhone's popularity Windows will be MILES ahead. They're too focused on this "Apple as a luxury brand/lifestyle" crap to notice that the future is all about having your OS & services on as many computers as possible no matter what form they take. WELL DONE MS!!
GPU is suspected to be the 960m cuz that's the only one that is specced with gddr5. The lower ones use lower ram.
I am curious though. Since the gpu is in the keyboard, if you detach the screen does it revert to the Intel graphics until its redocked back with the keyboard?
GORGEOUS! COOL COOL COOL!
Price points a bit on the steep side, and my i7 yoga pro 2 wasn't that cheap in comparison.
In the presentation they mentioned up to 1TB
Shut. Up. And. Take. My. Money
Damn! Want one!
Ultimate pricey shit and confusing because of surface
Oh noes! An alternative device. Oh noes, how dare they provide choices! :O
Ultimate lame comment
Holy sheet. I was going to wait to upgrade my SP3 for next year but I really, really like this thing. It is awesome.
I like the specs, I don't know about that visible gap when it's closed though... makes me feel like dirt and debris will just get stuck in there and scratch the screen. Or worse, some pressure from the top might cause it to bend the locking mechanism... I trust Microsoft to have tested this thoroughly, but I'll have to test it out myself before I'm convinced that was a good design.
Buying this. No matter how much the wife will bitch..
Not exactly "complete" specs. We still don't know what the specific GPU is.
So the Windows store shows specs that list a 1tb version. But preorder doesn't show option. Does this mean a 1tb is coming?
How is this lighter than the SP3 and 4? Surely that is without they keyboard attached.. Right?
Damn I have not expected this.. So beautiful so cool so sexy but still so powerful... Speaking about problems of 1st World I badly want it
Is there windows hello support in surface book? how? fingerprint or face?
Does any know the gpu specs besides it being NVIDIA?
960m . That's all till now.
Damn... this is great surprise indeed. No one even predict this after all the hu ha about L950, L950XL, Surface Pro 4, Band 2, Hololens before the event. Nice specs too!
This is insane. Pretty much destroys macbook on every single level. And has an amazing os to boot.
And look how gorgeous it is. I wish Windows Central uploaded a shot of the back of the laptop, with that Microsoft logo. I actually love how a Macbook looks, but this is the perfect "in your face" for the Apple. Amazing stuff.
Loving Microsoft right now!
They just need to tighten the OS, especially since they make both hardware and software (wink!).
I was all set for an SP4 but this has my interest. The most important part for me will be how it works as a tablet (or 'clipboard' as MS is calling it).
I really want this + 950XL
Didn't expect ms to release the surface book , the specs are good and really liked the new hinge mechanisms.
Any details on which specific Nvidia GPU is inside?
GeForce 950
960M* not 950. Pretty remarkable what they were able to pull off in such a small form factor.
Source?
It's not clear for me the NVIDIA GPU model. I've always wanted a Surface laptop but this is beyond what I expected, well done Microsoft, well done.
My engineering school requires students get a laptop and my financial aid just kicked in, so I pretty much have to buy this.
Yup. Have to.
Ah, the days when I could spend money recklessly just to pay for it for the next 20 years...good times.

I need a reason to buy it too...
It's so amazing! That's my reason
I don't understand this move. This will just further confuse customers. Should they get the surbook or the surpro 4?
I don't think that is fair. There is no confusion over Mac Book Air and Pro. This is a laptop with touch, that just so happens to have a removable display.
I'm not confused because I'm getting both LOL!!!
How will there be confusing, you either want a kickstand tablet or a laptop/hybrid. You either want to pay the $600 difference or not.
Not really. All the Book is, is an even higher class of surface with a better keyboard. I think price will be the deciding factor for most people.

Di you think the book could also accept the type cover? That would be... Epic.
But without the kickstand it won't actually be useful.
Yeah, that wouldn't work well at all, as the Surface Book's keyboard dock IS it's kickstand.
No 1TB option?
Also, please tell us which geforce card
960M
Where did you get that from? It's listed as something called an 8G almost everywhere.
