Hi guys just came across some images of the new Surface Laptop and it looks pretty cool. Whilst I have to admit laptops are laptops at the end of the day and they all have a generic look and feel about them, I think the tablet like look of the screen combined with the traditional laptop keyboard (albeit somewhat apple like) looks impressive. What are your thoughts??

" This Surface device will be running Windows 10 S, a new version of Windows that is focused on the education market. Windows 10 S can only run verified apps from Windows Store."

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

How can it flop when it's not even supposed to be for the mass market?

There is one major difference though. Unlike Windows RT, you can upgrade Windows 10 S to full versions of Windows 10 Home or Pro (on both X86 and ARM) and install regular Win32 desktop apps (on ARM platforms Windows 10 has an emulator that makes them work).

You can read more about being able to upgrade the OS on this laptop here http://m.windowscentral.com/microsofts-new-surface-laptop-windows-10-s?utm_medium=slider&utm_campaign=navigation&utm_source=wp and about Windows 10 S here http://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-cloud-everything-we-know-so-far .
