Then a first Microsoft Surface laptop was introduced, with the Microsoft Surface Book or Snakebook as it might be called by fans and others due to its snake hinges. This is a 13.5-inch Windows 10 computer with 267 ppi resolution and 6 million pixels resolution, with up to 16GB GDDR5 RAM and Nvidia GeForce GPU! It has a 12 hour battery life. It will eat a big chunk out of the Apple Macbook market for sure. The Microsoft Surface Book Windows 10 laptop is taking orders now and will be made available on October 26 for $1,499.
