New laptop from Microsoft – competition for Apple MacBooks? – Politics

Presentation Surface Booka in popular opinion turned out to be the biggest event of the conference of Microsoft and one of the most important, fateful moves the Redmond giant in recent years. Why the premiere of the ordinary at first glance, portable computer assigns itself so important?

Not that far from the Surface Book is extremely appetizing. Although it is worth noting that Microsoft went a difficult art to create a product that really wants to have, and you can go wager that if this computer as prosperous happen will be buying on impulse. Surface appearance Book can compete with the prettiest Apple products, in turn design wins recognition specialists, praising, among others, high quality backlit keyboard, supposedly the best on the market snaps linking it with the touch screen and stylus distinguishing the 1024-level pressure.

The screen diagonal 13.5 ” has a resolution of 3000 x 2000 pixels (267 ppi), or – and it is for this display is most important – the proportions of 3: 2. It is therefore, as in computers years ago, higher, which provides greater convenience when browsing the Internet and working in the documents than the still dominant unfortunate “jamnikowego” standard of 1920 x 1080. But it is also no breakthrough, cautious return to the screens of traditional proportions lasts for several years. Microsoft also has a stake in this, vide previous models in the Surface.

In the middle we find the best currently available electronics, primarily debuting just in the market Intel Core M sixth-generation, due to low power consumption to ensure that the Surface Bookowi work on the battery by circa 12 hours. In the silence, because not enough heating to cooling the processors do not need windmills. This is great news, except that exactly the same Intel processors found in the flood przyszykowanych on this autumn portable models that will flood the market any day now. And remembering how elegant design can ensure their computers experienced producers – see for example the line ZenBooków ASUS – you can be sure that even in this field the Surface Book does not prove the exception.

In addition to its appeal strongly reduces high Price. The weakest configuration costs $ 1,499. The most expensive: 2699.

So why all the fuss? Why the presentation of the Surface Booka was considered important event?

The biggest emotion is not born alone Surface Book, but the fact that Microsoft – has the mass market associated primarily as a software producer – clearly stood this model to confront the companies for the sale of equipment is the foundation of existence. Creak it was the launch of the first Surface’a in 2012. Microsoft, for that harmonious co-operation with manufacturers of computers is critical – after installing Windows on them – explained then that the Surface does not constitute for anyone of competition.

Indeed, it was a somewhat than fish nor fowl. On the one hand, due to the possibility of connecting to the screen (in which case housed a processor, RAM, etc.) keyboards, the Surface was an instrument of 2in1, which combines features of the tablet, and – if the keyboard is connected – the notebook. On the other hand, the keyboard had to buy separate multiple Surface’a therefore perceived as exotic tablet with Windows – at a time when the market dominated by iPad and Android tablets.

Surface Book is, however, a classic device 2in1, and there is no more room for diplomatic evasions. On the one hand, it is a strong voice for the future of Microsoft’s precisely this format laptops, still fighting for market share from traditional notebooks. On the other hand, it is evident statement that the Redmond company wants to count as a manufacturer, you may even compete in the market of computer equipment of high quality and high margins with the same Apple.

The plans for Microsoft to certify the current expansion of the company as sellers of devices with the Surface line. Until recently, not available in Poland, they have just officially debut in our market. Presented in parallel with the Surface books, Surface 4 is priced in the basic configuration for the 4299 zł. In the most extensive costs 10 499 zł. Book surface was not included in the Polish price list.
