Detachable Keyboard Laptops

The Microsoft Surface Book Features a Rugged Hinged Design

— October 7, 2015 — Tech
The Microsoft Surface Book is a more rugged and muscular version of the Surface Pro that takes care of one of its primary flaws -- the fact that its cover and kickstand don't always make it the most suitable to be used comfortably on your lap.

This particular device looks much like a typical laptop but is equipped with a 13.5-inch screen with Surface Pen and a PixelSense touchscreen. However, the device offers a more rigid hinge between the keyboard and screen, allowing for comfortable typing anywhere. What's surprising here is the fact that this laptop-quality keyboard is completely detechable, meaning you can use the Surface Book as a tablet or laptop or used as a digital clipboard of sorts.

The Surface Book runs on a Core i5 or i7 processor with varying RAM and storage options, and comes with an NVIDIA GeForce graphics processing unit. With specs like these and a new and improved, sturdy design, the Surface Book is suitable for a variety of uses.
