Surface Book: Hands-On with Microsoft"s "Ultimate Laptop"
Walking through the questionnaire at Microsofts Help me choose Surface microsite can result in the recommendation of a Surface Book with a 1TB SSD. Theres no real magic here: just select 1TB next to the How much storage do you think youll need built-in to your device question along with enough higher-end requirements, and voila!
The thing is; you cant yet order such a Surface Book. Your current options are limited to a 512GB option.
A quick chat with the Microsoft Store reveals thata 1TBoption isindeedplanned, but theres still no ETA.
You: I went through the questionnaire, and it recommended a 1TB version of theSurface Book. However, I dont see that listed on the Surface Book preorder page.You: Can you clarify if the Surface Book is or will be available with a 1TB SSD option?LaTonya S: We do not have the 1TB option on our site, Im afraid. We were not given information about when it would be available.You: But do you have information that it will be an option eventually?LaTonya S: I am showing that it is an option. So it would be available eventually.You: Excellent, thanks so much.
The moral of the story is: if you need the ultimate in storage in your Surface Book, youll want to wait a little while before pressing that preorder button. Well report back as soon as we receive word that you can get the full 1TB of ultra-fast PCI Express SSD storage.
Updated: It looks like more info is leaking regarding the pricing of the potential i7, 1TB storage, 16GB, dGPU. For anyone looking for a beefy Surface Book get ready to shell out over $3,000.
