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...

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
Microsoft deserved its ovation. Superlative build quality and truly innovative hardware single the Surface Book out as something legitimately special. The docking mechanism is an engineering triumph, certainly the cleanest way to handle a removable screen...
