Surface Book Redefines The Laptop
Microsoft were rumored to be announcing a new larger Surface at their event overnight, but it turns out it was not just a larger device, it was a new range entirely.
The Surface Book is an all new laptop that is capable of running programs like Premiere Pro without compromising performance thanks to the 6th generation Intel core i5 or i7 chipset. The 13.5-inch optically bonded PixelSense Display delivers a high-contrast 267 dpi display with improved latency and parallax, is set to make it not only beautiful to look at but natural and fluid to write on.
The screen also detaches, so it can be used like a clipboard to sketch, take notes and benefit from Windows programs like Microsoft Edge. An optional discrete GPU allows Surface Book to harness the full power of hardware-accelerated graphics for seamless video editing, fast rendering or immersive gaming. Surface Book starts at AUD$2,299
