Microsoft's new laptop is a mixed bag.There's plenty to like about this computer and, with its fast processor, long battery life and stunning detachable screen, it should be must-have gadget.But sadly there's just too many niggles to make this the ultimat...

Abstract: THE SURFACE BOOK is Microsoft's first proper laptop, and sees the firm setting its sights firmly on Apple's MacBook. Prices start at £1,299, hefty when considering the devices often, er, interesting design choices and niggling software bugs. However, the...

Abstract: The Surface Book is Microsoft's first proper laptop. Prices start at a hefty £1,299, but the device has some interesting design choices, a dazzling display, up-to-scratch performance and battery with plenty of stamina. But is it the "ultimate laptop" Mic...

Abstract: It's a bit like paying a fortune to gain admission to a secret and exclusive members club, only to discover once you're in, that it's run by the bloke who does the pub quiz on a Tuesday night at your local... and all the bar regulars you thought you'd pai...

Stunning display, all-round fast performance, slim and light, option for discrete Nvidia graphics, Windows 10 Pro
Questionable design choices, backlit keyboard, some software bugs
Of course, it's always going to come down to personal preference, but we just don't like the Surface Book's rectangular, boxy design. It's functional rather than beautiful.Remember that this is Microsoft's first laptop. In some ways you're paying a premiu...
Stunning display, all-round fast performance, slim and light, option for discrete Nvidia graphics, Windows 10 Pro
Premium price, questionable design choices, backlit keyboard, some software bugs
Microsoft's first stab at a laptop is blazingly fast and offers a striking display. The ability to transform into a tablet is useful, the addition of stylus pen is welcomed and it boasts a long battery life. Microsoft has been taking notes from its Surfac...

Stylish build quality; impressive specs; great keyboard and trackpad
Expensive; heavy; full performance only possible with keyboard connected
Like the Surface Pro tablets, the Surface Book is great if you fit its peculiar niche and have loads of cash to spare - and can put up with lingering, persistent bugs...
Also available with 16GB of RAM, Core i5 processors and 128GB to 512GB SSD, Sleek and stylish looking laptop, Comes with Surface Pen (stylus) that offers access to One Note note taking functions - even when tablet screen locked, Supports Windows Hello fun
Expensive price tag, Need optional dock at a cost of £164.99 to ensure you have a sufficient amount of USB ports, Display suffers from some glare in bright light, Battery life not as long as we'd expect
The Microsoft Surafce Book is ideal if you need a high-end laptop either for gaming or photo and video editing capabilities, with the ability to use the screen on its own as a tablet. There's no doubt the price tag is high, ranging from £1,300 to £2,250...

excellent keyboard, decent trackpad, brilliant screen, great stylus, 13hour battery, fancy hinge, great 2in1 compromise, proper ports, Windows Hello
Windows has a tablet app gap, software bugs, expensive, tabletonly battery could be longer, heavy for a tablet, HiDPI mode fails for desktop apps, interface is a mess if you dig deep enough
The Surface Book is one of the best Windows 10 laptops. But its party piece is more than a gimmick. When detached from the body the screen makes for a decent, if short-lived, tablet that's super slim and easy to hold.The screen is great, the hinge is inte...
