I wonder if I can get it to run Linux. That would make a pretty nice machine, if so. Edit: I'm not hating on Windows. I just don't prefer it.
Would love to get a Surface Book as soon as possible.

I think the Surface Book is finally something that can give the MacBook Pro line a run for its money, this should be interesting.
I was really excited about the Surface Book even before they showed that the keyboard is detachable, then I about lost my mind. Holy wow.

My thoughts exactly. To me, OS/X's quality has been slipping, but I haven't found any non-Apple hardware that's comparable. If they get the trackpad and keyboard right on it, this will open a lot of interesting doors.

Thinkpad Ts series? Dell's XPS/Latitude 7000 lines?
Unaware of this event, yesterday morning I ordered the first MS Band for a little more than 1/2 the list price of the Band 2. I'd been shopping for fitness trackers for a long time, and settled on the Band as the only tracker meeting my needs that can also act as an Android trusted bluetooth device & keep my phone unlocked.
From what I can tell, the Band 2 adds: - softer, more flexible strap (soft shell vs hard shell) - barometer for elevation - gorilla glass - better touch sensitivity
Is that it? If so, given the nearly 2x price difference, I think I'm just going to keep the old band and use it.

It seems this would either double the system weight (due to counterweights) or require an extra stand in the back.
Worth watching.

How do they prevent the Surface Book from toppling over, given that all internals must be in the screen part? It seems this would either double the system weight (due to counterweights) or require an extra stand in the back.
