Just so everyone knows,
MS released a revised Surface Book, called Surface Book with Performance Base, which doubles the GPU power, and some other internals, around Oct 2016.
Unfortunately, it's only released in the US.
But it's rumoured to come in the UK soon.
This £999 version is the old 2015 version with Skylake.
Perhaps this is why there's the price drop, to make way for the updated version.
Unsure, but according to Microsoft's description it has an "Ultra-high-speed Full-size SD card reader" to add some storage that way. Whether it is truly ultra fast I cannot say.

I see now that Argos are also doing it at that price, which means you can get John Lewis to price match Argos and get the 3 year warranty included and £80 for added care if you want that, which would be an even better deal. Best to do it before Argos runs out of stock
UHS SD card - up to 30MB/s
HDD - around 100MB/s
Sata SSD - around 500MB/s
PCIe SSD - around 1.5GB/s+

Purchased last week, best laptop I've had... 128gb is enough if you have a Nas or server..

128gb is very low for a laptop. I wouldn't even be able to backup my iphone on it.

Same here and probably for a lot of people as the 256gb model has a dGPU. I'd much rather one of those than the surface pro. With the next gen versions due soon I expect Microsoft to drop prices to start shifting stock.
