Microsoft Surface Book 256GB with Performance Base (2.6GHz Core i7, 8GB RAM, 13.5 Inch TouchScreen, 16 Hour Battery) Version

this is Lisa from mobile tech review and this is Microsoft's latest two-part invention it's the Microsoft Surface book looks like a 13-inch laptop it is a 13-inch laptop but it's got a real neat trick you press a little button on the keyboard and it separates and becomes a tablet or a clipboard as Microsoft likes to call it you have a 13.5 inch display slightly odd size instead 13.3 inch and that is the brains just like a surface pro in many ways everything is in here except for the optional dedicated GPU if you do get that that is in the keyboard and that introduces a few wrinkles and a few bugs that we're going to talk about but Microsoft is said a lot about how this is the most powerful 13-inch laptop ever and it's twice as fast as a MacBook Pro with Retina display they didn't specify the size will assume 13-inch not quite the case in some ways it is a case we'll talk about that too
