the Microsoft Surface book I know it came out a little while ago but somehow I didn't have a chance to try it out until now I'm rummaging through I'm like oh my goodness I've never made a dedicated video on any surface product this one right here three thousand dollars this is the surface book - thirteen point five inch core i7 processor it's got a geforce gtx 1050 you could do a little gaming on here one terabyte of storage and 16 gigs of RAM GTX 1050 in a surface 3,000 bucks you're not even get the pen inside the box for that three grand so there it is the surface book - highest spec level it's your usual power brick they give you an extra USB the bricks there anyways give me an extra USB this is one of the really unique things about this laptop this crazy hinge on it the charge port right here let's try it out at least it's magnetic we have a USB type-c dedicated volume to standard USB s and what looks like an SD card slot wait we have a headphone jack you have the 3 by 2 aspect ratio I really like this curvature on the side here trackpad down here clicky chiclet style very little flex in the keyboard pretty nice display actually three thousand by two thousand right well the speakers are up here I can see the almost hidden grills they'll work well with the tablet but also they're kind of an ear level let's go give them a test why not million subscribers easy just a lot of people it's more than the entire population of New York City ten million is a lot they're not the loudest I've heard but incredibly clear I think part of that is just the location of them but really where this thing differs from other laptops is when you go ahead and detach it and you just you know you take this to the couch there's a key on the keyboard right here right there to detach the unit so I'm gonna hit that and see what happens so now it's flashing oh look at that how nice is that way lighter than I expected so the whole thing is 3.4 pounds and most of it is down here if you just come back like this magnets it goes in will would you like to fill me in on the battery life as stated by Microsoft stop it he just said 17 hours what the base is responsible for about 12 hours 76 40 milliamp hour and then the clipboard as they call it is 2003 8 7 so 5 hours of battery life in here and then 12 hours in here and when connected 17 total you can find better values in a laptop if that's all you're looking for but what about ones that can do what this one does from a versatility perspective you have to grant it some leeway because it has that ability of course an Apple ecosystem you're expected to have a MacBook Pro and an iPad even though you're on a tablet you're on a full Windows operating system you aren't stepping from Mac OS over to iOS there's the pen as well I wish was included in the box all of a sudden you reach up you touch with precision or you detach all of a sudden I'm out and about look at me what aren't I doing mmm that's legit - super comfy of course has a button on it as well and an eraser nub and you can see how it understands the nuance of the stroke I think this is really interesting the whole package and I'm a little bit upset at myself from not having looked at it up until this point because this came out a while ago always liked products like that that can fill in a number of gaps you're a bit of an artist but you like to game a little bit over here but you need a good keyboard because you got to write an exam but you also need big battery life because you don't want to carry your power brick to university can this go on backwards as well we'll look at this that's your next mode as well maybe you want to eat lunch in front of it you know you have your lunch right here you stick an Xbox controller over here you've got a little portable console scenario and does this fold down as well you have a 17-hour tablet kaboom this is interesting this should have been on my radar it's really cool those are my initial impressions I told you I'll take it home I'm gonna see what's up I'm gonna use it a little more but so far I'm kind of into it this episode of unbox the pea has been brought to you by Nord VPN that has been my VPN of choice for a very long time so when they reached out to sponsor an episode I was like of course I've been using Nord VPN for years it allows you to have a secure internet connection in a number of different geographic regions in fact what do they say here three thousand-plus servers in 59 countries it's always been fast for me say for example you're traveling to China you have the Great Firewall you bypass via a VPN what if you want to watch regional netflix while you're traveling boom the VPN once again I tell everybody all the time you got to have a VPN a premium one and especially when you can get a deal like the one I have for you today on Nord VPN because you're an unbox therapy viewer you can actually save up to seventy seven percent on Nord VPN today through the link in the description using the code unbox therapy they have apps for Android iOS Mac and PC so across all your devices 24/7 live customer support through chat or email unlimited bandwidth and they have a 30-day money-back guarantee so you really have nothing to lose use Nord VPN it's simple link in the description go to it I've been doing it for years alright and if I'm doing it there's got to be something good about it alright I tried them all
