Microsoft Surface Book review
Microsoft Surface Book review
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, Microsoft’s first laptop — the Surface Book. It borrows heavily from the design language of the Surface Pro line, both in functionality and appearance, and promises to extend Microsoft’s reach in new and interesting directions.
With an Intel Core i5-6300U, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB PCIe SSD in the $1,500 base model, the Surface Book is equipped to compete with the best ultrabooks and 2-in-1s, such as Apple’s MacBook Pro 13, and Dell’s XPS 13, and Lenovo’s new Yoga 900. The Book is also the first 2-in-1 with a detachable keyboard to feature an optional, discrete GPU.
This puts Microsoft in direct competition with manufacturers that have been building computers for decades. Unlike the Surface Pro, the Surface Book isn’t designed to encourage growth for a new form factor and market, and it isn’t a device with a limited appeal with battery like dell Inspiron 1564 battery, Dell Inspiron 1764 Battery, Dell Studio XPS 1645 Battery, Dell W004C Battery, Dell Studio XPS 1340 Battery, Dell PP17S Battery, Dell W6617 Battery, Dell Latitude D410 Battery, Dell Inspiron 1370 Battery, Dell G3VPN Battery, Dell Vostro V130 Battery, Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 Battery. Is it time for Microsoft to push first-party hardware as the flagship Windows experience?
The Surface Book sets itself apart with its dynamic fulcrum hinge, which makes it possible to detach the display to use as a tablet. It folds into a rounded edge, just like the spine of a novel, using a mechanism that’s similar to a metal watch band. As it curls, it leaves a quarter inch gap between the screen and keyboard at the hinge when closed. It’s an odd look, and it means loose items can wedge between the screen and keys to pose a scratch hazard.
But the strange hinge has a purpose. It let Microsoft make the keyboard dock lighter, with the hinge acting as stability for the heavier tablet. It also helps the screen sit a little further away from the user in laptop mode, without having to extend the footprint. That means a smaller computer that feels larger once it’s actually in use, and improves the perceived fidelity of the display in laptop mode.
The dock mechanism holds the tablet half in place with “muscle wire,” a cable that expands and contracts when a current is applied to it. While the button was a minor annoyance at first, it became second nature quickly, and worked even when the system was turned off or asleep. It’s also not prone to failing. I was only able to cause an issue once by intentionally lifting one side and leaving the other engaged. It complained for a moment, then released the latch again – no big deal.
Ok, enough about the hinge. What about the rest of the system? It’s built from matte silver magnesium, which is durable and light. It may not be everyone’s style, but the Book’s build quality is supreme. There are no panel gaps to speak of, and no matter how the Book is handled, it feels tough and sturdy. The Book’s design can compete with the best in the business.
