The Surface Book design is just silly to me. By putting the CPU in the display they've limited it's CPU performance a lot. A 13" MBP will outperform it on CPU bound tasks. It has 28W TDP processors instead of 15W like the Surface Book (and the Surface Pro).

If they put the CPU in the keyboard, it wouldn't be able to detach.

Why does it need to detach? The battery life without the keyboard is awful, and the firmware that supports this is pretty buggy.
