    If they are improving the NVMe driver for the Surface, I wonder if we can expect an update for the Standard NVMe driver in Win 10. The current one seems to have some problems.

    When I first saw this post I was thinking Microsoft was releasing the new models.

    I was all set to get a Surface Book Pro Performance edition with the 1TB SSD drive but have decided to hold off as rumors of a Surface Book Pro 2 loom. Don't want to spend the type of money on the Performance edition only to see a new model released months later. The supposed update includes the 7th gen Intel chip, an upgraded NVidia GPU, and perhaps more ports.

    Anyway I was thinking this post was giving some insight into that, but apparently not.
