MICROSOFT Still waiting on SURFACE BOOK with Thunderbolt 3 at Microsoft Store? At least on HP or Dell Site you can Order Online a Laptop with (TB3) Thunderbolt 3 for about the same price as Obsolete USB 3.0? Thunderbolt 3 uses the same USB 3.1 Type C port 10 Gb/s. If it is made with INTEL Alpine Ridge Chipset (Of course, Made in China?); So, CHINA to copy it for free: Great job (Brownie) INTEL?

       The Made in CHINA ASMEDIA ASM1142 still used on many ASUS Motherboards has a Chipset that is not Thunderbolt 3 Compatible without an Expensive Daughter Card; be cautious? Thunderbolt 3 can daisy chain 6 devices, has 40 Gb/s throughputs; can run a 4k or 5k display: plus 100 watts charging? Oh, and INTEL Alpine Ridge Chipset has been out since 2015!

       Microsoft, are you just STUPID like with the "INTERNET"; or what? Or for the write off on taxes? Are all $399 to $3,199 Microsoft SURFACE'S and SURFACE BOOK's with USB 3.0 purchased Now; Obsolete? Even my NEW Home Build, LGA-2011-V3 GIGABYTE G1 ULTRA Gaming motherboard, Bought on Sale for $220. With my 12 Core XEON Processor has Thunderbolt 3!

       Still No "Touch Screen" on MacBook Pro: Really "Touch Bar" APPLE, lol? Even an INTEL i5 Dual Core $1,499 13 inch and UP APPLE MacBook Pro "Now" have at least (2) USB 3.1 Type C Thunderbolt 3 Ports? Microsoft even grading on the Curve to me you still get another (F) for being this far behind on Thunderbolt 3?
