I have mixed feelings about this new Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. They seem so damn powerful I mean, 16 GB RAM is something I did never expect to happen so soon with a tablet. And Microsoft just does so. 
But that price... And I don't like the design of that Surface Book either. xD

That's twisted, circular logic. That's like saying the Macbook will ALWAYS be more powerful than whatever any current system, because, you know there's a new chipset coming out in 5 yrs and MS. I mean who is to say based on your statement that MS wouldn't come out with a new Surface that has better specs the minute a new Macbook comes out NEXT year?
Looks like a great lineup from Microsoft. Well done. They are getting better at hardware all the time.
The SP4 looks impressive. I wonder of the new typepad keyboard will be compatible with the SP3
microsoft has that mid 2000 apple vibe going on!
stoked for the surface pro 4....like why would you choose the ipad pro over this? its got all the pro apps already.
and pen is better than pencil lol
not sure id go for the surface book though, the retina mbp is still the gold standard.

It's abut twice as fast than the 13" Non-retina Macbook Pro, so calm down
Good luck with that stylus lag and the less than adequate touch input of Win 10.
The Surface Book is what I'd want from the iPad pro in the perfect world, except the keyboard half would run OSX and the tablet half iOS until you couple them together.
Nice to see MS experimenting with things.
Also.. Some people seem to be inexplicably bad at running windows. Ive not had stability issues in years. Admittedly i use my Mac for many things but I love my windows boxes too.

Microsoft has been killing it lately. This is awesome.
Probably because laptops have been referred to as Notebooks for as long as they've been referred to as laptops.
Yeah, but the current Surfacebook is actually faster (2 times according to MS) and it already EXISTS - contrary to the future Macbook pro, so please don't compare apples with peaches (pun intended). Besides that, as the Surfacebook has a discrete GPU, the 13" MBP will never catch up.
I was just thinking the same thing about Microsoft seems to be doing what used to do but then there's windows 10. lol
iPad Pro , isn't to me a pro unit until it can run a full copy of Logic X and third party plug ins .
It's hard to tell what the iPad pro and TV can really do though the demos in September were some of the worst ones I've ever seen do. I'm not going to even mention the watch presentation .
Btw on the TV when those guys showed there dumb game I was thinking damn does anyone remember frogger ?
Biased much? I get that this is a Mac forum, but come on, have some class. Windows 10 is incredibly smooth and is by far my favorite iteration. Office is actually my least favorite Microsoft software, but Windows 10 has finally brought form and function to Windows.

Unfortunately not. iPad Pro runs iOS, not OS X.
You mean like get hot and have a noisy fan?
So did you already get your hands on the Surface Pro 4? Well we can't say much until it's released. The more competition the better for us consumers.
Uh? So this will have an overclocked quad-core Core i7 Extreme and a SLI of desktop-class GPUs? Sounds like ********.
*slow claps* That Surface Book is pretty incredible. It's about time Microsoft made their own laptop.
I'm not a fan of that laptop design. And why two devices? I thought Surface was all about one device that could be everything?
