Looks great - and if the battery claim holds up I think this will be my next laptop. I've got up to £3k to drop a new laptop device later this year and was hoping the new SB2 would be good enough to finally justify the spend...looks like it might be.

Hopefully they will have some demo units on display at Future Decoded this year to have a play with and see if the changes are as good as described

I wonder if it's possible to exchange an old model I have + £200 or so to upgrade to one of these. They do that with the surface pro models.

Good to see the Surface Book line is alive and kicking. It looks like a decent upgrade but I'll wait since my current Surface Book is still going strong.

Meh. Max 16GB RAM. Not interested then.

I can't deal with that hinge... it's so pretty, but why won't it close all the way

For most people, I'm sure 16GB is plenty. I feel like if you really need 32 or 64 GB, you would probably be better off with a desktop anyways for the extra power...

I got one of those already. It doesn't mean I don't have a need for a Laptop with 32GB RAM.
