The surface book has a flimsy keyboard?
Still, the way the hinge does not make the screen rest flat against the bottom makes me a bit uncomfortable about compressing the closed laptop. It's a machine to be handled with care. It certainly can't tolerate the abuse a MacBook can.
It's a glorified iPad. I had one and the keyboard was sub-par junk. I actually switched it in for an Air. But maybe that was just me.
It sounds like you're confusing the surface book and the surface pro. The former is a laptop with a detachable screen, the latter is more like a tablet with an attachable keyboard. (although both run full OSes).
The surface book is the macbook pro competitor.
Also, there are two types of keyboards for the Surface - the touch (bad) and type (good) which has real keys.
