They're still pushing 8.1 laptops trying to clear out their inventory before they sell new systems. Plus they are selling them at 2010 prices, don't like that :-(
It would be nice to have WQHD display (2560 x 1440, 220ppi), but you're going to pay about 100 dollars or more for it. Otherwise the norm is HD (1366 x 768).
We like this one the best out of all models Dell, ASUS, Microsoft...
ACER http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.MP4AA.020
They all come with Limited Warranty, so that means if you break it physically you'll have to pay out of pocket. Hardware failure good for one year, 90 days of technical support. .
These systems that they are selling are systems made to work with Windows 10, but the Surface and New Systems with the Intel Skylake Processor and the like will be built for Windows 10. BIG DIFFERENCE.
As you know, prices will always go down the longer you wait for a system, but at this juncture you're trading "True Mobility" from Bow to Stern, for a dinghy with a Mercury 400 ;-) but you have to buy at some point :-/
The above Acer is an example of that, but a nice system with a 13.3 Touch Screen, 4gb ram, 500 gb hard drive.
The New systems will be with 64-128gb Solid State drives and more focused on Cloud Data Saving.
Malware Software suggestion is Malwarebytes for best protection at the best value, this could change...
sidenote: It's hard to get away from the keyboard sliding on surface design without going with a detachable. You should see more blue tooth or wireless detachable designs next year, with a location device to find the keyboard or the tablet ;-)
**UPDATE**
The Surface Book came out BIG with 8-16gb or RAM and 128gb-1TB local Storage, uses Intel instead of Qualcomm thankfully, but still not next generation which will be fanless/noiseless very important. Pricey little thing starting at 1499-3199 that's thousands. Considering a lot of that cost is the CPU's do we even dare ask what the cost of the "Next Generation" of CPU's will be :-S
