With Microsoft's event yesterday, all eyes are on the new Surface Book which is said to be twice as better than Apple's Macbook Pro.
The Surface Book is a 13-5-inch, 267ppi laptop with a removable keyboard so you can use it as a tablet or to cover the screen with the keyboard. Moreover, it is equipped with the latest Intel Core processors, an Nvidia GeForce GPU with GDDR5 memory.
