Surface Book redefines the laptop
Once again, Microsoft has pioneered a new category by redefining the laptop with Surface Book — a powerful, high-performance laptop with incredible design and an even more accurate and responsive pen and touch support. Surface Book combines the impressive power of 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 and Core™ i7 processors with up to 12 hours of battery life4. The 13.5-inch optically bonded PixelSense Display delivers a high-contrast 267 dpi display with improved latency and parallax, making it not just 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 and fast rendering. Surface Book starts at AUD$2,299[1].
