The "Surface Book" from Microsoft may be the most ambitious technological development in the laptop world considering all the premium features it brings to users. The aesthetics are already amazing, top that with specs that are way above its rivals and you get a hefty and beastly piece of gadget. It does come with a really pricey tag, but that may be its sole disadvantage over its rivals. But granted you have the cash to drop for a high end laptop, and you actually need a hefty spec'd device, here are some reasons why you won't regret opting for the "Surface Book" as per TechRadar:
Hardware accelerated graphics
Most hybrid devices do not have hardware accelerated graphics, the kind of graphics you need so Adobe Photoshop can feel like a game play. The "Surface Book", even when dislodged and working as a tablet, still feels as speedy as ever. In fact, the device has two graphic processors, one in the base and one in the tab. This allows for easier 3D modelling and smoother PC gaming.
HD video
"Surface Book" comes with REAL HD video recording. It's not just an "HD rear cam" that the "Surface Book" comes with, it is a true 1080p HD camera. This means that if your connect it to your HDTV, you can watch your videos in full HD resolution. This kind of camera is a big up from other laptops' SD camera.
1024 levels of pressure sensitivity
The "Surface Book" gives you a pen-to-paper experience when you use the stylus, making it a great device for sketching ideas and taking notes. Also, unlike its rivals, the Surface Book's stylus attaches on its side through magnets, making it easier to store and get.
Two mics
The "Surface Book" has two mics, one for each camera. Based on TechRadar's tests, there are also background noise cancellation features that allows you to hear the person who is currently speaking, rather than giving you an annoying muffled audio. The two mics and noise cancellation feature make the "Surface Book" an ultimate buddy for video conferencing individuals out there.
Stylus tips
The stylus' tip is interchangeable, which means you can switch from one tip to another depending on what you want to write or sketch. The four tips that can be used on the Surface Book's stylus can be bought as a $10 kit.
1 TB storage
1 TB storage is no joke. Most tabs only offer 32 GB storage. "Surface Book" may have wanted you to keep the device for a very long time, hence the sufficient storage. It's worth noting however that the 1 TB "Surface Book" model costs a huge $3199 at the Microsoft Store. Clearly, you're paying for the luxurious feature here.
Long battery life
Usually, when devices say that they can be stretched for an 'all-day' use, it only means that you can use the device the whole day if you just do simple tasks such as emailing. If you use the device for heavier tasks, that would call for a different story. The "Surface Book" on the other hand, can last a full 12 hours even if you're using the processor power heavily.
As a quick summary, the "Surface Book" is packed with all the necessary features a laptop should have to be considered perfect. However, it's quite expensive, so buying it is still a big decision.
