    it costs 2/3rds more than surface pro 4 . Does an NVidia gpu and keyboard hardware really add $ 600

    Or the new input chip that he referred to. A "G" something.

    I guess battery is the biggest weight in the surface pro line up . If the new SOC uses less power they could put in smaller batteries for the same life spand which is like 8 -10 hours on the 3. Which will make a lighter and skinnier device. Also cooling could be less complicated with a lower power cpu

    The G5 is in the surface pro 4 and he said it was designed by Microsoft. Its basicly just Ntrig's hardware for the touch/pen input

    This I really missed from the iPad Pro keyboard. It's such a boost to ergonomics, especially in low-lit environments.

    That would mean the Pro 4 is using a Core M Skylake, but that wouldn't be more powerful than a 15W Haswell.

    He talked about the G5 was talking about the PixelSense in the screen .

    The MCM is the intel core with edram I believe

    I'd guess the base spec for the Surface Pro 4 should be with a Core i3 Skylake , 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD whereas the Surface Book may start with much higher specs like a Core i7, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD, for example.

    Besides, the Surface Book appears to be a much more premium-y device than the Surface 4 Pro, so a straight BoM logic doesn't really apply here.

    Can't wait for some impressions. Also, I feel that a lot of details may have been glossed over in the interest of time. All of the presenters seemed to be moving at mach speed as if trying to keep to a strict time line...it could be a reason for the awkwardness.

    The GPU is under the heatpipe below that squared interface. The fan can't have anything underneath because it's probably a blower design which takes the air from below.
