Earlier this week, Microsoft revealed its new line of products, including three new Lumia devices, and two new Surface devices. Even as Microsoft has positioned the Surface as a laptop replacement, it’s making a separate Surface laptop model, the Surface Book.

“We have the best engineers who understand portability and performance”, Panay said. And while the Surface Book is called a laptop, the screen is detachable so that it effectively becomes a tablet. Microsoft says the Surface Book is housed in a machined magnesium body – basically, it’s a silver metal laptop, but it manages to look far different than a MacBook, despite its similarities in name, reports The Verge.

The new Surface Pro 4 improves on its 12-inch predecessor with a 12.3-inch display at 267 pixels per inch (5 megapixels) using Gorilla Glass 4, but retains the same footprint.

0 ports and an SD card slot.
The Surface Pro screen size has been increased a little bit to 12.3 inches from 12 inches.
The apple pen as well as the new and improved keyboard are a few of the biggest innovations that come along with the device in the form of accessories.
The release of the Surface Pro 4 comes as Apple and Google recently unveiled their latest entries into the 2-in-1 device category, with the iPad Pro and the Google Pixel C. Surface sales have picked up after a slow start. If you were waiting to hear, you’ll be pleased that we now have Microsoft Lumia 950 and XL version prices for the UK.
