yes very nice hardware, both the phone and the surface book. But the real standout here for me is continuum. This takes the logical next step where all the heavy lifting compute / storage happens remotely, and your "PC" doesn't need to be anything more powerful than the device in your pocket. I for one am overjoyed at not having to cart around a notebook, as the vast majority of my sit-down work happens in locations where monitors are available (ie office, home, client ___location, in that order of frequency. I personally don't do desktop-class work in trains/planes/coffee shops, even if I understand that there is a use case for this, and that's what the surfaces are for).

I'll even reconsider Windows now. My only slight concern is it would be great to get a slightly less clunky USB/HDMI docking cube. Did it have to be a cube? Surely a cable of some kind would have worked?

Now the only thing left is for Canonical (finally) to ship Unity 8 convergence. Please?
