Microsoft Surface Book UK price and release date

But it’ll cost you.

Surface Book is the company’s home-grown laptop, sitting alongside the Surface Pro 4 for those who want something that’s more like a conventional laptop and less like a super tablet.

Those wanting to get their hands on the company’s first ever Surface laptop hybrid can pre-order through the Microsoft Store as of 12.01am Tuesday morning. “Microsoft India invites you to experience the world’s most powerful computing device”. This is the first time that the Microsoft Surface tablet will be officially available in the Indian market.

And it’s hard to disagree, thanks to the stellar specs packed into this lightweight 1,515g Windows 10 machine.

To be fair, the Surface Book has a much higher resolution PixelSense display offering 3000×2000 pixels and includes the Surface Pen, while the MacBook Air now lacks Apple’s Retina display technology, but it is an odd state of affairs when Apple’s premier laptop model appears to be the budget option. Without the keyboard dock, the display can only last three hours, making it more suited to laptop-style use.

Navigating around the Windows 10 operating system is controlled through the multi-touch glass trackpad.

For those of you in the UK, Austria, Australia, France, Germany, Switzerland, or New Zealand, the Surface Book will be available for pre-order starting January 5th.

Then prepare to be excited by the news that Microsoft’s Surface Book is coming to the United Kingdom – and sooner than you might think.
