hey guys this is Tom of the verge and we're looking at the Porsche design book quanta laptop it's kind of a surprise from overall Congress this year and if you look at it right away probably the most obvious comparison I can make into the surface book this is a little bit different than the surface book and at the top we've got the tablet portion it's obviously a Windows two-in-one I'll show you that in a minute but it's a 13-point free inch display that's a little bit smaller than the surface but display and you've also got six thinking around in here and you've also got a 512 SSD and a core i7 processor the latest one so kb lake and seventh generation Intel processor and put in terms of the actual design of the laptop yep it does look like a surface but everyone's going to make that obvious comparison but really the main difference here is the hinge and this is a really kind of unique hinge I'm kind of seen this on any other two-in-ones that I've looked at in the past and as you can see from the actual hinge here it looks like the sort of gear box and that you'd have in a car like a Porsche so what this hinge really enables you to do is just bid to push the display all the way down and you can actually flip it over just like a yoga book then straight into a tablet mode and and also what you'll notice is the actual hinge enables both parts of this with the keyboard and the tablet section to be flush and that's the same when you're using it in the laptop mode as well and when you close it and put it in your bag so you're not going to get that unsightly gap that you get on the surface book and in terms of actually using the hinge for more than just the tablet mode you can also just use it as a tablet and what you do is you just enable the little button here and it unlocks so you can just take it off you can't put the display on like you would on the surface bit like that and we don't really need to because you got the other hinge and then you've got the tablet mode so you can use it as a tablet like this away from the keyboard and when you're using a way like this as just a pure tablet you're only going to get ran about three hours and push your design to me but if you're using it docked straight in as a regular laptop probably around about up to 14 hours and then in terms of ports and features on the actual app top and down the side you'll notice that we don't have any ports here it's just the button to release for the tablet mode and on the left hand side you've got two years B ports and a micro SD slot and then you've also got a type C on the laptop section here and it type C on the tablet portion which is actually a fundable one as well and and the interesting part of these ports being on the laptop is they're on they're on the very side but they're actually at the bottom see if you plug in an accessory it's not going to dangle over your keyboard like they do when they're up the top on the laptops and same codes for the headphone jack as well and you've also got a precision trackpad on here and which feels pretty good for navigating around windows and Porsche designers are also added in a Windows hello camera so there's infrared cameras at the top here which just basically allows you to use your face to log into Windows 10 and then you've also got a stylus which snaps onto the right-hand side of the porsche design laptop and basically this is a Wacom stylus so it's not quite the same technology that we have in the surface devices and but you could do exactly the same sort of stuff so you can get Windows ink drawn navigate all around Windows all that sort of stuff that you'd expect from from the stylus and as I say that snaps on right side of the tablet there okay then the obvious comparison is the porsche design laptop versus the surface book so they do look very similar they obviously the display on this one's just that tiny little bit smaller but not really all that noticeable and but really the difference I want to kind of point out is the hinge so also you can both lie these both flat like so but you'll notice there's a big gap in the surface book hinge and Porsche has been able to totally eradicate that and which is summat we're hoping to sort of see in the next surface book so that we don't see this this massive gap in the hinge and in terms of like the weight and stuff they feel they feel very similar in terms of weight even when you lift a tablet section off they're pretty similar but the real the real big difference is is just literally been able to open these up and you'll notice on the surface book I cannot push that all the way down and I can't flip it straight into the slightly yoga style mode tablet mode and whereas I'd have to like take off the display and then turn it around and then docket that to get the same sort of thing so obviously this a pretty good innovation with the hinge going on here to allow us to do this mode without all of that complex moving around so I'm kind of impressed with Porsche designs Book One Laptop it's a unique take on the windows 2 in one thing that we've seen so many manufacturers try and attempt and get some crazy hinges and just some really ugly designs this is really polished and it feels premium and which there's a bunch of you premium Windows laptops out there but this one just feels really polished it does feel a lot like the surface book but it's just got those additional features just being able to use the hinge freely like that and detach it and just like the surface book and stuff it's it's a nice Laptop Per I'll be interested to see how it performs them in review the porsche design laptop will be available in april in the u.s. priced at two thousand four hundred ninety five dollars for more
