Re: [OT] New laptop

2015-11-24 Thread stephen 
No deal breakers so far, still love it. 

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

Re: [OT] New laptop

2015-11-24 Thread stephen 
Yeah, I did get the dock.
Not really used it much yet. I did have some issues initially (didn't detect I 
had external monitors) but reboot of surface book fixed that. 
Picked up two dp to mini-dp cables last night and works well with two screens 
(and laptop screen as well). Using a dell 30" and Samsung monitor. 
Not tried a 4K screen yet.
Not sure if I will put laptop in front with two screens behind/ either side and 
use keyboard on the laptop, or put the laptop to one side and use 
keyboard/mouse and two screens. Seems a waste to not use the surface book 
screen, it's beautiful.
