I purchased Surface Pro 4 for the girlfriend for Christmas...

I'm not sold on the detached keyboard form factor .. FOR ME..

I prefer the lenovo Yoga type fold over....(I have a Dell XSP 11 2 in 1 same fold over form factor that I got dirt cheap...i5 4 gig 250 ssd for >$250)

Reason being I use more as a laptop so prefer the weight in the bottom keyboard part....

And when I do tablet I do not want a separate part, the keyboard, floating around to keep track of....

But the small, with full PC OS and power, big hi res screen, super thin, super light, long life on battery(5/6+ hours)..SSD drive(no moving parts anymore)....AND Touch Screen (touch screen, once you get used to having it you can never go back)...are all now a must

... and win 10 is a good os

The Surface Book has no detachable keyboard. I have the SP Pro 3 and never detach the keyboard. My next upgrade will be the Surface Book.

But the small, with full PC OS and power, big hi res screen, super thin, super light, long life on battery(5/6+ hours)..SSD drive(no moving parts anymore)....AND Touch Screen (touch screen, once you get used to having it you can never go back)...are all now a must

You NAILED IT.

You can't go back. That's exactly what I think.

Win 10 is great. I still use Chrome, gmail, Google's calendar and other Google product assortments, but Google screwed up with their flash player problems and related plugins; they took away Google Voice and replaced it with the horrid Hangouts. But my home team favorite Microsoft is coming along and getting a tad smarter in apps arrangements but they have a long way to go yet to catch up with Google's mastery of some critical nuances.
