A holy grail you've been able to buy for 7 years; Microsoft Surface Book with detatchable screen. High quality hardware, beautiful screen, best touchpad on a Windows laptop I've used, but the removable screen to make it a tablet just ... isn't very useful.

I have a Windows Surface 7. The battery life is insufficient for travel and Windows is not reliable enough for me to trust it.

It served as a overspec baby cam monitor for a few months but we had so many issues that the second time I went to reformat it, we replaced it.
