Today is the first day you can buy a laptop that\u2019s entirely made by Microsoft.<\/p>\n
The new Surface Book is being sold from the Microsoft online store, as well as Amazon. Other physical and online retailers will list their availability of the Surface Book soon.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s somewhat historic, as whenever you buy a Windows laptop, it\u2019s always been made by a company like Samsung, HP, Dell, or Lenovo, among many, many others. This time, everything from the hardware to the software is all Microsoft.<\/p>\n
So far, reviews for the Surface Book have been positive, with most of the reviewers praising the display, touchpad, keyboard, battery life, and the Surface Book\u2019s ability to separate from the keyboard to turn into a tablet.<\/p>\n
The keyboard houses an extra battery, as well a a separate processor for certain models of the Surface Book that\u2019s specifically designed to process graphics-heavy tasks, like games and video editing.<\/p>\n
Most of the complaints revolving around the relatively high $US1,499 price tag and the fact that you can\u2019t shut the laptop flat because of the Surface Book\u2019s unique hinge.<\/p>\n
Today, you can also buy the latest Surface Pro 4. It\u2019s somewhat similar to the surface book, except it has no hinge to prop it up. Instead, it uses a kickstand that comes out from the back of the Surface Pro. The keyboard and trackpad is more like a cover, and doesn\u2019t harbour any extra components.<\/p>\n
