2015-10-06
nice shots fired Microsoft put on the best tech keynote we've seen in all of 2015 here's why Microsoft has shown us hololens before but each time we see a demo it just gets more insane this time it was wearable Holograms otherwise known as Project X ray you now have a gauntlet and a shield on your arm to interact with the game soon you'll be able to fight robots in your living room and every single game is different as hololens adapts to your surroundings say goodbye laser tag hololens is coming they say leave the best to last and that's what happened with Microsoft's first ever laptop the surface book with 12 hours battery life a glass trackpad and weighing 3.34 pounds it threw down another gauntlet during the keynote a dynamic fulcrum hinge lets the 13.5 inch screen move freely so it sits neatly over the keyboard but it can also be reversed or detaches completely to become a tablet its unhinged literally this is supposed to be the most productive phone you've ever picked up but what does that mean the best way to see that and probably the most fun way to see it is to see how continuum really does bring the PC from the phone Microsoft's been talking about continuum for a while now but we finally saw what it can do the feature lets you plug in a Lumia phone into a monitor then connect a mouse and a keyboard to turn it into a fully fledged PC except it's a PC that fits in your pocket cuz I can be productive like a boss wherever I am now there are subtleties in this product as we changed everything that you will never see there are some that you will but you will feel every part of this product when you pick it up I promise you you will feel it the original surface kicked off the tablet as Hybrid trend with a surface pro for pushing the boundaries even further sporting Intel's new skylake processors Microsoft says the pro 4 is 50% faster than the MacBook Air there's also a new pen that can launch Cortana attached to the screen via magnets and even has an eraser now all Microsoft needs to do is work on a better word than lap ability that's the term to describe using the surface on your lap and often many other tech keynotes this year the enthusiasm of Microsoft's presenters was a nice bonus you ready to see this phone are you ready to see the phone now alright finally fashion choices always deserve a special mention and Microsoft had a fedora hats off to that for more on the latest Microsoft devices visit cnet.com
