Microsoft unveiled its first laptop ever. Named the Surface Book, it doesn’t look like a previous Surface at all. It has a 13.5-inch display, a trackpad made of glass a backlit keyboard and a machined magnesium body. Microsoft's surface book has a detachable screen this makes it laptop and a tablet too it is very cool feature as we can compare it with both macbook and ipad.
It comes with the latest generation Intel Core processor and an Nvidia GPU with GDDR5 memory. According to Microsoft, it is the fastest 13-inch laptop ever made. In addition to that, it has a 12 hours of battery life. The keyboard is said to be very quiet, and the display has a good pixel density of 267 ppi.
With this device, Microsoft compete with the iPad and Android tablet due to its detachable screen and It competes with the MacBook Pro, Lenovo laptops and many more.
With a discrete GPU, the Surface Book is supposed to be twice as fast as the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
it is still impressive that the company managed to fit so much battery life in a powerful 13-inch laptop. Microsoft launched Adobe Premiere Pro and showed how fast you could edit a video on this machine.
And then, there is the detachable screen. It is 7.7mm thick and weighs 1.6 pounds. If you want to take advantage of all the machine performances, you need to plug it to the base — the GPU is in the base. And of course, the display is a touch screen. In other words, it’s a convertible laptop done in a good way.
The Surface Book starts at $1,499 and is available to pre-order today. It will be available on October 26. Microsoft didn’t revealed much detail when it comes to specs.
The most important question is how the OEM ecosystem will react to the new device. Microsoft risks alienating its partners with the Surface Book. Chances are Microsoft won’t sell as many laptops as Lenovo. The Surface Book is an expensive top-of-the-line machine. Many don’t want to spend as much money in a laptop.
Today’s move is interesting for Microsoft. It could hint at some bigger changes in the future, or it might be just a flagship device to showcase what Windows does best. OEMs could even be inspired by this new device.
