My surface pro3 is sealed and seems non-upgradeable... so chances are the surface4 is the same -- or they would add that to the marketing details.These guys need to have a serious talk with whomever is selling them 8GB of RAM for $300. Also — i5 to i7 is an extra $300? 256GB SSD to 512 GB upgrade is $400? Hmm.
This is why I always build my own PC, but when it comes to portable devices like this they've got us over a barrel. Any idea what components can be upgraded by the home user, or is it factory sealed as-is?

"Just got done talking to Microsoft, here's some extra information:
For both models processor specs:
i5 6300U with HD 520 @ 1000 MHz
i7 6650U with Iris Pro 540 @ 1050 MHz
dGpu for the book is an unnamed nVidia card with (only) 1GB GDDR5
The keyboard for the Book is mechanical."

Bullshit on the third one. Even if the mechanical key switches were heavily reduced in size, it would still make a device like the surface much thicker. The first and second points? Maybe
