Surface Book looks neat but is it an admission that the Surface Pro and its flexible keyboard, kickstand, etc. perhaps aren't the best design?

- WorldMaker 11y agoSeems more like an admission that there is a spectrum of users that want/need different things. Surface Pro is the tablet to replace your laptop and Surface Book is the laptop to replace your tablet.

Seems to me its an expression of the basic fact known to everyone (well, except Apple for a while, but even they've mostly come around to it) that there is no one "best design" for all users and uses, and that different users (and even the same user for different uses) have different needs and preferences resulting in different "best designs".
- scholia 11y agoThe Surface Book doesn't replace the Surface Pro 3. The Surface Pro 4 replaces the Surface Pro 3, which has been very successful. What the Surface Book does is expand the range and compete more strongly with the MacBook/MacBook Pro, rather than the MacBook Air.
