    Surface Book, is the screen nice to watch content on? Comparable to retina?

    The screens are nice. However, they have a screen ratio of 3:2 whereas videos/shows/movies are shown in a 16:9 format. This means it'll either have to stretch or have a letter box on the top/bottom of the content area. I've watched videos on my SB 2 and it looks great to me.
