Surface Book has 3:2 which is really nice, quite expensive machine though (I love mine, and have been lucky not to have any of the issues that seemed to plague them in their early days)

The Surface Book has a great screen but my god that machine was an absolute nightmare for the ~2 months I had it. Microsoft seriously screwed up on QC.

Not to mention it was just way over-engineered. All people were asking for was a Surface laptop. Microsoft's own MacBook Pro but they just had to do something "unique" and it was a mess. Now we have the Surface Laptop that comes with a gimped version of Windows[0]. Honestly I just don't understand Microsoft.

[0] Yes you can upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro for free until the end of the year but then it is an extra $50!

Isn't the Surface Book the one that iFixIt rated as "[unrepairable, made of glue]"?
