Why should i buy a microsoft surface

In testing, around 10 hours of battery life while browsing is achievable. That is pretty impressive. There is no defending the weak battery life in tablet mode, but, let's face it, no device is ever perfect right from the start. It has taken Microsoft a few tries to get Surface Pro to the point where it can work well -- and for longer than a couple of hours -- as a laptop replacement, and, by that measure, Surface Book is great already.

Also, if you want a rMBP with dedicated graphics you have to compromise on size and cost and go for the inch model. The barrier of entry is much lower, and even in this segment this is worth pointing out.

Yes, I am going there. Surface Book is cool. If you believe that this is a silly reason for telling someone to buy it, so be it.

Heck, I bet plenty of people will be surprised to see that it's Microsoft's logo that's on Surface Book, and not Apple's. And don't get me started on the keyboard The display is very impressive too, but also utilitarian. It has a very high-resolution, but unlike on a smartphone that is not wasted on a small panel. These covers come in three distinct colors including Platinum, Cobalt Blue and Burgundy. The top of the keyboard also now includes stronger magnets to ensure a better connection to the device itself.

For example, HP's Spectre x lasted two and a half hours longer a charge. Laptop Mag. Superior PixelSense display. Great overall performance.

Excellent build quality and design. If you want anything other than Platinum, get ready to pony up. Credit: Microsoft. The Surface Laptop is about a third as fast based on our testing. The good news is that you can easily upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free. No thanks. Laptop Mag. Awesome Design. One of Best Keyboards on an Ultraportable.
