Have you tried the surface book one?

Why not just go for a Surface Pro and get the best of both worlds ?

You should try a surface book, I've been extremely happy with the quality.

What about a MS Surface? Do they pull this stuff too? I was under the impression they were decent.

have you tried the microsoft surface pro?

Aren't you just describing literally the Microsoft Surface?

Isn't a Surface (laptop) from Microsoft a better laptop?https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/devices/surface-book
