re: Surface Pro 4 questions

The real question is the sort of overlap of the SP4 and the Surface Book. What's really the difference between the SP4 and the Surface Book if you get a lower end SB that doesn't have the dedicated graphics card?
Example:
1) Surface Pro 4 @ 256gb/i5/8gb ram = 1299$
2) Surface Book @ 256gb/i5/8gb ram = 1699$
So the only difference there is a slightly larger screen and a more dedicated keyboard for 400$ difference? Yikes.

You aren't adding in the extra cost of the SP4 keyboard. That would bring that device up to $1430.
The SB also will theoretically have ~30% more battery life with the keyboard attached. 3 more hours of battery life could be important for some people.
At the end of the day, these devices are for different people. If you want a tablet that can sometimes be a laptop, choose the SP4. If you want a laptop that can occasionally be a tablet, choose the SB. If you need ultra long battery life and don't mind having the laptop deck attached, choose the SB.
The biggest killer for me with the SB is that supposedly the tablet itself is limited to 3 hrs of battery life. There has been some rumors that it's 6 hrs, but it looks more and more likely that it's only 3 hrs.
