Of course, you get bigger black bars with video though. It also makes working in portrait a lot more sensible, as well as its the right ratio for standard 35mm film. I believe you get comparable working area to a 14" 16:9 laptop and almost as much as a 15" laptop with this layout. The 3:2 aspect ratio means the display is quite a bit taller and really helps to make things less cramped. The 13.5" 3:2 screen makes the Surface Book feel close in size to a 13" MacBook Pro or so, but the screen feels like you get a lot more work area. This large screen allows you to be much more productive than the other options on the market (which I'll highlight later) and I can't overstate how good of a balance Microsoft has struck here. In my opinion the large screen size and the nVidia GPU are the biggest reasons to get the Surface Book over the alternatives. There are lots of reviews from the usual tech blogs but fewer from the perspective of a person using it purely for creative uses so I thought I'd throw in my two cents. I've been playing with the Core i7/nVidia GPU/16GB Ram/512GB Storage model, which retails for $2699. Its a very interesting and exciting portable computer for creative people. It's kind of a halfway point between something like a Cintiq Companion and a Macbook Pro. So I recently have been playing around with a Microsoft Surface Book.
