I remember using a Windows machine in 2006 that could also double as a tablet. (You could pivot the screen around and then fold it back on top of the keyboard.) It wasn&#x27;t very good of course, and my point is that this idea is not new by a long shot. So is the enthusiasm for Surface Book coming from the fact that it&#x27;s made by MS themselves?<p>Beyond that, it strikes me that the way they talk focuses so much more on narrative than the actual products they&#x27;re selling. Like &quot;I want you to love MS because you love building things for other people&quot; or whatever.
