Microsoft has announced a new addition to its Surface Book line, the Surface Book i7, which the company promises is 3x more powerful than the 13-inch MacBook Pro thanks to its new Core i7 processor.
The laptop-tablet hybrid has a detachable 13.5 PixelSense display and a ‘Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge,’ which allows the screen to balance at any angle, though the hinge seems identical to the technology featured in the original Surface.
In addition to its new processor, the Surface Book also features twice the graphics performance with the inclusion of the powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M GPU.
As for battery life, the laptop-tablet hybrid promises 16 hours of battery life, a 30 percent improvement over its predecessor.
Ports included are two full-size USB 3.0, an SD card reader, a Surface Connect port, headset jack and Mini Displayport.
The 256GB Surface Book is listed as $3,129 CAD on the Canadian Microsoft store website, with a November 11, 2016 release date. Meanwhile, the 512GB7 variant is $3,629 and the 1TB comes in at $4,379. All variants feature the Core i7.
