The Waterfield Designs Syde Surface Book Case is an intriguing option for anyone looking for a minimalist laptop bag for a Surface Book, Surface Pro 4, or any 13-inch device.

On the eve of Microsoft's next press event, anxiety is high: Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book are now over 18 months old and there are no replacements in sight. What's going on?

Following in the footsteps of a similar set of updates from three weeks ago, Microsoft has again issued updates for Surface Book and Surface Pro 4. But only for those already on Windows 10 version 1703.

The other day, I revealed the first concrete information about the next version of Surface Pro. Today, I'd like to expand on that a bit by thinking through what this information means for Surface and the Spring hardware event.

If you're using a Surface Book or Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 version 1703, you should check out Windows Update today: You've got some updates waiting.

Microsoft will bring Surface Studio, Surface Dial, and Surface Book with Performance Base to more markets in April. So none of these devices will be updated anytime soon.

Surface Book is obviously an impressive device, but as I've pointed out, no customers were asking for an expensive, detachable laptop.

Surface Book with Performance Base redefines what it means to be a high-end Surface Book, edging the product into mobile workstation territory.

If you own a Surface Book or Surface Pro 4, it's time to head over to Windows Update and see what's happening: Microsoft has issued new firmware updates for both machines.

Microsoft has been doing the Crazy Eddie thing with Surface since 2017 began. And now certain Surface Book and Surface Pro models are on sale again.

Moving Surface Book with Performance Base between docked and mobile usage is easier and more seamless than before. But there's still so much work to do here.

While most will not purchase Surface Book with Performance Base for gaming, this capability is indeed among the several major advantages it has over its predecessors.

Surface Book with Performance Base is billed as the most powerful Surface Book yet, thanks to its pumped-up GPU. I finally have one in for review.

With just a few tweaks, Microsoft can make its nearly-perfect Surface Book flawless. So here's what I'm hoping to see in the next version.

In the coming weeks, I will finally get to evaluate Microsoft's new high-end Surface Book offering, called Surface Book with Performance Base.
