Microsoft has discounted three select models of the Surface Book by $100, with the discounted prices starting at $1,399 in the United States.
The three Core i5 models of the Surface Book are now discounted, bringing the price down to $1,399 for the entry-level model with 128GB of storage, $1,599 for the Core i5 model with 256GB of storage and $1,799 for the Core i5 model with NVIDIA graphics so you can run high-end games and powerful software on it.
Specifications and Features
Microsoft Surface Book was released in October 2015 last year alongside the Surface Pro 4. The tablet brings top-of-the-line specifications including a 13.5-inch display with a resolution of 3000 by 2000, 6th Generation Intel Core processors (up to Core i7) paired with up to 16GB of RAM in the top-end model and up to 1TB of storage space. The high-resolution display is particularly noteworthy, offering a pixel density of 267 PPI, which ensures sharp and vibrant visuals, making it ideal for creative professionals and multimedia enthusiasts.
The Surface Book also features a unique hinge design, known as the Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge, which allows the screen to be detached and used as a tablet. This versatility makes it a compelling choice for users who need both a laptop and a tablet in one device. Additionally, the Surface Pen, which comes included with the Surface Book, offers 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, making it an excellent tool for artists and designers.
Performance and Usability
When it comes to performance, the Surface Book does not disappoint. The Core i5 models, now available at a discounted price, offer robust performance for everyday tasks and more demanding applications. The model with NVIDIA graphics is particularly suited for users who require additional graphical power, such as gamers or those working with graphic-intensive software like Adobe Photoshop or AutoCAD.
Battery life is another strong point of the Surface Book. Microsoft claims up to 12 hours of battery life for video playback, which means you can work or play for extended periods without needing to recharge. This makes it an excellent choice for professionals who are always on the go.
The Surface Book also includes a variety of ports, including two USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, and a Mini DisplayPort, providing ample connectivity options for various peripherals and external displays. The inclusion of a backlit keyboard and a large, responsive trackpad further enhances the user experience, making it a pleasure to use in different lighting conditions and for extended periods.
