if like me you've been waiting for Microsoft to update the surface book before you picked one up you are in luck or at least at least I'm in luck visually these guys look exactly the same as a last gen meaning they've got that same kind of cool hinge that rolls out the same gap that's gonna let dust and dirt get on that screen but it does look really solid and I like to look of last gen so I don't mind it stick around for a little bit longer there's a lot of new things here as well I seven processors of course on board in fact in the surface book it's called the surface book i7 it also might be called a surface book I said with performance based doesn't seem like Microsoft's own website is is really sure about that but the performance base does add a lot of things in it so on the math side a6 Gen Intel Core i7 sono cabby like here perhaps next year we now know what GPU is going to be in there which is gonna be nice so if you get any of the new surface book i7 they're going to have dedicated GPU remember last gen Microsoft just didn't tell you a kind of GPU was in there what we didn't know that was it had one gig of ram now we've got two gigs of dedicated ram for that GPU and is the nvidia geforce gtx 960 5m format and a lot of you're hoping for a 10 series in there but that is not the case on the plus side though Microsoft is say you can get up to 16 hours of battery life and you should get double the graphics prowess of the last gen so that's a lot of extra performance the same beautiful screen is there 13.5 inch pixel sends display it's a 3000 by 2,000 resolution at 267 PPI the same 3.2 aspect ratios here so you hold it in portrait it's gonna look like a sheet of paper and actually looks really nice when you take it out of the dock and use it again surface book highlights you can take off that screen use a tablet flip it around or do whatever you'd like with it if you're thinking maybe you just want to pick up a performance bass and drop in the screen from your lashing surface book you are out of luck Microsoft is not gonna sell it that way and much like me a year later this gen service book is this a tad bit heavier and a tad bit thicker and if you want to play game of guess a generation of surface book the new one the keyboards little bit set down farther than the lash Jim other than that they look almost identical going to be shipping in early November pre-orders are available it is not cheap starting at 20 399 and going all the way up to 30 299 for an i7 and 16 gigs of ram and 1 terabytes of SSD action I'm excited to test it anything you guys want to know about the surface book let us know down below and we'll make sure we cover it when we do our review but I can't wait to get my hands on it and put it through its paces the next time John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo
