> Every store's shopping experience on black friday ranges from barely tolerable to unbearable.

This is true and I would be completely sympathetic to this if the same thing hadn't happened to my brother-in-law (also purchasing a Surface Book) a couple of weeks prior. Note: this isn't a dig on Microsoft or even the product - I was more trying to make the point that I went into the store super excited about a product, and the experience alone completely turned me off to it in the long run. Granted, I probably didn't give the product enough of a chance in the end.

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yours.

I am sorry you didn't, and I do want to sincerely invite you to try powershell on your mac and other MS dev stuff. You don't need a surface book to enjoy the environment improvements.
