Website layout is all messed up on Mac/Chrome
It's pretty messed up. It steals my ability to scroll correctly, it's not very responsive on my vertical screen, etc.

#1521. how does it charge? I've looked at the promo video, I don't understand where the power plug is
2. on a completely related note, why the Type A ports? Why not put a bunch of nice Type C, maybe a single Type A for backwards compatibility?

#153Looks terrible on Chrome https://imgur.com/H75ejZN
Same here on Mac/Firefox.

#154I'm not crazy about paying extra for the tablet capability and hinge as I'll only ever use it in laptop mode, also curious that there's no USB-C port. However, I'm glad Microsoft is showing its OEMs what a proper Windows laptop should be. The OEMs have been shitting the bed on this for years.

#155Could be a MBP replacement for developers. The only thing is those of us running on OS X, how is Windows 10? I love my command line and linux like commands and tools. - Homebrew - Bash scripts - Docker (Windows 10 currently not supported) - Vagrant I just feel the tooling for MS isn't in the direction I am. I still have a Windows 7 desktop and it's just not the same.
It's all there, just different.
PowerShell = bash, Chocolatey = homebrew, Windows Server Containers = docker, Hyper-V+powershell = vagrant, DSC = ansible etc etc.
I don't use Windows 10 for reference though. Still on 8.1 until they fix a few things and release a version-matched server platform.

#156By reconnecting it to the keyboard, you unlock its full creative power in a pen first mode.
Hmm... what does the keyboard contain? Are we looking at another dual-processor hybrid? Or perhaps only dual-graphics? Or even simpler, does the keyboard have most of the battery and so the screen aggressively throttles itself when undocked?

RE:Homebrew. I feel like most of the time I'm developing on OSX I'm just trying to fill in the gaps. I wish I could get the same battery life out of my air on real unix.

I was intrigued by the first Surface tablet until I played with one in person and realized even with the fancy Metro skin, it's still crappy-old Windows.

#159Interesting, I think the iPad Pro announcement did them a favor. Now I'm going to have to visit a store and actually play with one of these things, could be an expensive fall season for me this year.
Good point. The iPad Pro popularized and legitimized a lot of ideas that people may not have been willing to accept if they came only from MS.
Yet, when the iPad Pro was released many felt a nagging feeling that something was missing, and at least on the Surface (no pun intended) the Book seems to fill those gaps.

Indeed windows for development is not always as streamlined as a unix-based system like OS X. I use a surface pro 3 with windows 8.1 and wrote a python script that opens a cygwin terminal at the top of my screen to provide Guake-like functionality for windows. Most development work I do however is done within a Ubuntu virtual machine, but then again I've usually been doing web development over the past couple years.
