Microsoft Announces $1500 "Ultimate Laptop"
"The thinnest, most powerful PC ever created."
Today during Microsoft's marquee Windows 10 event, the company announced the Microsoft Surface Book, what the company is calling the "ultimate laptop." It sports a 13.5-inch, 267dpi screen with 6 million pixels.
Microsoft's Panos Panay revealed the device, saying it's two times more powerful than the latest Macbook Pro. The company also worked with the Xbox engineering team to help with optimizing the GPU.
Specifically, the laptop--the first Microsoft has ever made--has a Nvidia GeForce GPU, GDDR 5 memory, and sports 12 hours of battery life. It also comes with two USB ports, a glass trackpad, and a dynamic fulcrum hinge.
The Surface Book starts at $1,500 and launches on October 26; preorders open tomorrow.
