A very big difference is that it won't come with a 2 year EU warranty (up to 7 years in UK) and that has got to be worth a good amount to you. Other than that the machines should be identical. The only thing different with US models is the type cover will have a US arrangement rather then UK.

I was 100% going to buy the surface book when I first heard of it, thinking it was essentially a surface pro 4 with a dock. The battery situation and lack of stand (which is such an oversight, that thing is amazing) made me choose the SP4.

Well I seem to have had really bad luck. 1st surface pro had broken fan, replaced. 2nd surface pro has suddenly, out of nowhere (and is 2 weeks old roughly) developed a serious back light bleed in the exact same spot I saw someone on reddit have a week or two ago. (about a third of the way from...

Hi guys, I have this update and have changed the pens button to load onenote 2016 instead of metro. Like everything else this surface pro4 launch, it's one step forward 2 steps.... to the side! So now I can open Onenote 2016, with the pen button, when my surface pro 4's screen is on. But when...

the sp4 takes up the 2tb of sd cards, which will not exist for a few years yet. I own the SanDisk 200GB and it works great, read speed of about 80MBs.

I decided to risk using my SP4 once again for work yesterday... it died on me during a lesson, just went black like it switched itself off. I was just showing a static text based website. Pressing the power button showed the surface symbol and it booted normally... Really lame. For live sport...

The SP4 makes me a little sad. The hardware is pretty much perfectly designed, the software feels like it's out of the late 90's. Windows 10 is both my favourite and most hated windows experience yet (I actually found Vista to not be that bad, and I find windows 10 hangs a device or crashes more...

lol, I would be the same if I gave back my SP4. At the moment, it is too unstable to be used for work, so is a complete waste of money for my needs... but I wouldn't want to live without it, and once MS fixes the sleep, hibernate device killing bugs, it will be the Mclaren of the tablet/portable...

edge could be one of the causes of my headaches, agreed. But the scrolling is 10x better than anything chrome can do, chrome is a great browser but it feels positively chuggy and old for touch. Edge really feels snappy in comparison... and has bugs, many many bugs. It is the default browser on...

I have done everything on that list too, inc turning off WiFi whilst sleeping, power hibernate etc... But that is a fail right there. I'm guessing you know a lot about computers, as do I. For the average person, having to do quite a few things manually to get some sort of stability out of a...

I have already done that. Hibernation is what I'm talking about as it also fails on me maybe 1/10 times, more so if I leave edge running (but sometimes I simply can not close the browser without task manager). It shows the surface logo, then black screen with just the IR camera on red. It is the...

The ssd is the only thing of the SP4 hardware=side that confuses me. I have heard that there are Samsung drivers in the wild that can double the write speed for the SP4, but have not tried them myself (I have enough issues already, without trying to bypass windows update in updating firmware. My...

Flight799, I would recommend this whatever the case, but definitely as you're coming from Apple. WAIT! Make the purchase in January when MS have fixed some of the show killing bugs on the SP4. I can not use my SP4 for work any longer, as I have had failures to boot windows from sleep and...

Glad you got it sorted. To be honest, since my last reply, I have had no end of problems with the SP4. I have given up using it for work now as it is far to unstable to be trusted on the field. MS have promised fixes, but not until 2016!!! I hope you have more luck than me, or can be patient...

I totally understand your frustrations. At first I was telling everyone tell get the SP4, but now, no way. I'm on my second too, the first had Hardware problems (that happens, it's ok to me) but you're right, reinstalling windows and apps takes forever. Since the last updates I have had even...

EU law specifies that all electronic goods have a two year warranty. In the UK, this extends to a maximum of 6 years (because we have our own fit for purpose laws). There are no exceptions, and every business knows this law now. I bought from the MS store, and my warranty shows as running out in...

Ah sorry, I misread, thought it was read speed. Well you have the same as me, but I have a sandisk 200GB card and I'm not sure of the max write speeds, only the read speeds. Fair enough, then I am not sure! Sorry!

Isn't the point of caching simply storing the used files of the Storage device within the RAM. This means that when saving files or working with files, instead of writing straight onto the SD, it looks up if it's in the RAM first and then saves there. This would mean having much "faster"...

Maybe the cut was too small due to a fault, and nevertheless the users tried to ram it into the case... Have to admit it's weird. I found two people on amazon.uk with that problem. Glad your's is good. I might be tempted to get one.

It looks good, but doesn't seem to have a strap for the Type Cover, meaning it will be flapping around... which I can't see as very safe when compared with something like the UAG.
