Microsoft surprises with new, gorgeous Surface Book laptop

article published on 7 October, 2015

Microsoft surprised nearly everyone yesterday with the announcement of a new laptop, the Surface Book. The high-end device appears to be taking on the MacBook Pro and the Google Pixel C, in looks and in its ability to showcase its parent's operating system.

Truly gorgeous! I want!

Too expensive though. Starting at 1499.00???

I imagine that one with 16GB RAM and the 512/1TB SSD will bring this to a beefy 2500.

Like RAM and a 1TB SSD would cost an extra 1000 bucks........NOT

Maybe an extra 400

The beefy one is supposedly $1899 according to PCworld.com which if that price is accurate, that'd be the one to go for.

I went to a Microsoft store and checked out one of their demo models. As cool as the Surface Book looks in the online videos, it is far more impressive in person.

It is expensive. If you absolutely must have an Apple device, or if your budget doesn't permit something in the Surface Book price range, so be it. But if you are looking for the best-made device on the market, and don't mind paying a premium to get it, then the Surface Book makes a compelling argument. I'm going to place a pre-order tonight once I sort out which variant fits me best.
