Abstract: Microsoft is committed to bringing premium first-party hardware in much the same way that Apple does. The announcement of the original Surface and Surface Pro back in 2013 was met with a lot of criticism, that such a tablet couldn't possibly be useful in...
Microsoft is billing the Surface Book as “The Ultimate Laptop” which is a pretty lofty goal, especially for a first generation device. Unlike the Surface Pro line, which is only just now seeing competition from other vendors, there are plenty of other Ult...

Nov 2 2015 - Microsoft's first laptop system offers a very solid experience with a few twists thanks to its 2-in-1 ability to detach the screen. This makes it a great option for those that need to use a tablet from time to time but it still does not perfo...
Stunning screen, Epic battery life as a laptop, Powerful and light as a tablet
Expensive, Mediocre battery life as a tablet, Awkward power button placement
OEM who? Microsoft jumps to the head of the hybrid class with its first laptop—a 13.5-inch detachable whose power and precision merit its high price. Read More…...

Abstract: For the first three generations, "Microsoft Surface" meant a Windows-running tablet with a snap-on keyboard that turns it into a laptop. But today that Surface definition has expanded, now including a new device where the tablet part takes a backseat. Tho...
Stunning and high quality design, fast, optional dedicated graphics, lovely display, versatile design. Good battery life
Expensive! Gap between display and keyboard will bother some. Solo tablet battery life is short
Windows 2-in-1s are always a compromise, as we noted in our Surface Pro 4 review, you don't get the very best tablet possible or the very best laptop. As a tablet, the relatively large screen, pen, light weight and slim dimensions still make Surface Book...
high quality magnesium alloy chassis, notebook-class CPU and GPU performance in a detachable form factor, no major CPU or GPU throttling, high resolution, bright display fit for outdoor use, native 3:2 aspect ratio for full-frame SLRs, accurate colors an
thicker and heavier than 13- or 14-inch Ultrabooks, battery life could be better, no USB Type-C or HDMI options, no WWAN or RJ-45 options, no SmartCard or fingerprint reader, no secondary storage options, no TrackPoint or dedicated mouse keys, native 3:2
Do we recommend the Surface Book over a traditional notebook? Anyone who is already set on a detachable-type notebook should consider the Microsoft solution as it is a serious contender for replacing an aging Ultrabook. However, users who have little inte...

Abstract: Did you read our Surface Book review? We know quite a few of you did -- this turned out to be one of the most popular reviews Engadget has run all entire year. That said, in case you missed it, here's a quick recap: Despite the fact that this was Microsof...
Excellent, innovative design, Versatile and responsive, Brilliant screen that's also a tablet, Near-perfect pen input
Mediocre battery life, Integrated graphics are buggy, Nvidia base yet to prove its worth
Microsoft's taken every lesson it's learned from years of watching others build Windows laptops and done them all one better with the base-level, $1,499 Surface Book.Share this reviewShareTweetChief Correspondent:Lance UlanoffTech Editor:Pete PachalPhotos...

Great screen, Great keyboard, Great trackpad, Clean, elegant design, Detachable clipboard
Base system has no discrete GPU, No Windows Hello software support yet, It gets terribly expensive
