I remember using a Windows machine in 2006 that could also double as a tablet. (You could pivot the screen around and then fold it back on top of the keyboard.)

I remember using a Windows machine in 2006 that could also double as a tablet. (You could pivot the screen around and then fold it back on top of the keyboard.) It wasn't very good of course, and my point is that this idea is not new by a long shot. So is the enthusiasm for Surface Book coming from the fact that it's made by MS themselves? Beyond that, it strikes me that the way they talk focuses so much more on narrative than the actual products they're selling. Like "I want you to love MS because you love building things for other people" or whatever.
