The recent $200 price slash on Microsoft's Surface Book may actually be a hint of something bigger coming. Ever since Microsoft confirmed the sequel for their hit 2-in-1 product, the Microsoft Surface Book 2, consumers have been angling for more information.

The most that's been reported is a Spring release this year, but no specific date has followed. Recent reports and events point at March 2017 as the official launch.
