Microsoft Surface Book: The MacBook Killer in Waiting

Microsoft is a company that is constantly forced to prove itself. For the once-dominant Windows developer, anything less than perfection is reason for immeasurable column inches dedicated to its decline and imminent downfall. If the answer was an iPhone 6S please leave, you’re not playing the game properly. Windows Hello is a way of signing into a Windows 10 device with just a touch or a look.

ZDNet did not give a Lumia 950 XL review but tackled the phablet’s distribution aspect instead.

On paper, they’re pretty incredible. On smartphone, Continuum allows Windows 10 phones to become miniature PCs.

Apple finally followed in Microsoft’s footsteps to launch the Apple Pencil, which is created to work in cohesion with the new iPad Pro.

Apple’s iOS may have a gazillion applications to offer its users, but it will always fall short when compared to the sheer power of full desktop applications. Prevailing Lumia smart phone consumers, on the other side end, have the opportunity to provide the appear and feel of the extremely versatile Windows 10 Mobile Operating system initiating this December Facebook observed in an official make an observation. My fresh-looking, two-years-old Lumia 1520 is proof of that fact. During the Microsoft event, there were a few third-party vendors with new back covers for the Lumia 950 XL and the smaller 950, complete with various new leathers and new colors. For everyone else, let’s keep hoping that the oft-rumored Surface phone makes an appearance sometime soon.

Google released its Pixel C tablet, whereas Apple came up with the iPad Pro.

The most significant part of the Pro 4 is that it is quite productive while docked.

The very thin and light device weighs 165-gram, and measures 8.1 x 151.9 x 78.4 mm. That larger display is now 2736×1824, boasting 5 million pixels for over 267 ppi.

Among the products unveiled during the event included the updated Surface Pro 4 tablet and two new Lumia smartphones. Even beyond the success of Surface and Surface Pro, Microsoft has shown that it can’t be ignored and it utterly refutes the idea that it is becoming irrelevant. It also includes 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage. The user logs in with either his fingerprint, eyes or face.

Lastly, there’s the Type Cover, which has also been revised.

The new Surface Pro 4 starts from $899 to $2,199.

“We have this goal, this dream”, said Panos Panay, head of Microsoft’s Surface team.

Of course, what if you really just want a laptop?

The Surface Pro 4 is a direct successor to the Pro 3 (duh), meaning it’s a fully-fledged laptop replacement, with a beefy and capable processor. Microsoft says the Surface Book can last up to 12 hours on a single charge.

For the longest time, Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) hardware strategy consisted of little more than making keyboards and mice.

Microsoft Surface Book is considered to be a serious MacBook Pro competitor with Microsoft proudly claiming that it is “the most powerful laptop on the planet”. Hook it up to the keyboard and you’ll be able to take advantage of an optional NVIDIA GTX GPU.
