I've never had a Surface Book but I had the Surface Pro 3 for awhile and I'm pretty sure it predated the book.

On the Surface Pro you just slide from off screen to bring up quick settings and then tap the brightness icon. Granted it only had preset values rather than a slider...

It's had a brightness slider for a long time now. And if you have a Surface, Fn+Delete and Fn+Backspace are hidden shortcuts to Brightness Up and Down.

Yeah and that was always either too bright or too dark.

I'm glad they added the slider now.
