Have a chat to Adam Cogan. Adam’s bought a bunch of them and been posting in various lists about issues. Just see if anything is relevant.

Two things I have noticed after using it for a week now. The screen/lid when opened to its maximum angle is fine when sitting in front of it, but I have noticed a couple of times thinking it would be nice if it opened a tiny bit more. Mainly when using it at an odd angle, ie to the left of my desktop at work. The other odd thing is the feet seem slippery on the desk. Like a mouse slides. Might end up on the floor Got another firmware update this morning. Three now since I got it, so hopefully more stability. Camera was blue screening but that's fixed now Cheers Stephen Ps also I've noticed I neglect my other computers now On 25 Nov 2015, at 9:14 AM, Tom Rutter <therut...@gmail.com<mailto:therut...@gmail.com>> wrote: Any updates on the surface book guys?
