Yeah, I'm in the same position, centrally isolated in upstate NY, many hours of driving away from any of the big tech stores.
But I would also like to visit a Microsoft store, and play around with the Surface Book. If that line is still around when my Fujitsu Lifebook gives up the ghost, I may well opt for a Surface Book.
Windows 10 and all. The more I work with the production release of Win10 the more I get to like it. The damn UI still has too much Metro in it, but other than that I'm liking it.
I’m in the middle between San Francisco and Portland. Both places I try to avoid. Small town guy.
