The New Ultimate Surface Book Laptop by Microsoft

Introduction:

As of today, Microsoft is also in the running for laptop devices. Just recently, the company announced the launch of its first ever laptop, a new gadget in its line of products. The Surface Book – the ultimate laptop – is one of their latest launches expected to complement their tab, the Surface Pro 4.

The laptop being slightly bigger than the tablet, the Surface Book features a 13.5 inch wide screen. The device is made of metal. The display is a PixelSense touchscreen that has the capacity to pack within 6 million pixels. Featuring a backlit keyboard, the Surface book is an ultimate thing of beauty that is expected to be faster and far better in performance than the MacBook Pro. Moreover, the best the Surface Book by Microsoft can offer is the long lasting battery life that goes all the way to 12 hours.

The laptop is quite light in weight. Thus when you use it in a tablet mode, you can easily perform all your tasks because it’s not heavy to carry around in comparison to the actual tablet by the company. With a wider screen and light in weight feature, the laptop is the perfect device to buy for all those who want both a laptop and a tablet.

Plus-Points:

The first thing you have got to recognize in regards to the Microsoft laptop is that it’s gentle. Microsoft put quite a few efforts into making both the keyboard and display components skinny and durable, and for the most part, they’ve probably succeeded. The first full computing device has arrived in the surface household. The Surface Book by Microsoft is a powerful device with a full sized, backlit keyboard for speedy and natural typing. It is quite easy for users to convert the laptop into a tablet. Flip the monitor around and reattach it to use laptop like an A4 size creative canvas. The laptop is also equipped with a Stylus pen that allows you to use it in its full capacity.

Microsoft claims that the Surface Book laptop is quite formidable. The company stated that the laptop features an Nvidia graphics processor that allows users to run some of the most professional known applications like Adobe Photoshop and AutoCAD. This installation is quite impressive by the company in comparison to a number of previously launched high-end Windows operating laptops that included graphic cards which were quite discrete. The Nvidia GPU is a massive achievement in this regard.

What Makes Geeky Star Wars HP Laptop So Impressive?

As the all time famous Star Wars reach its peak, HP plans to embrace it with open arms. HP earlier announced that a new laptop will soon be launched by the company. The look and feel of the laptop will be something that of the dark side. Add to it, the machine will be loaded heavily with rich Star Wars content. This content includes the sound themes of the system that have the ability to take over the entire machine. So when you remove the USB from the port before it is ejected properly, an R2-D2 wail appears. Though it might seem like an annoying thing to many, but users always have the freedom of switching back to the old Windows sounds.

This HP laptop seems to have a dorky design which is so prominent that it does not fail to amuse it’s Star Wars fan base. In fact, the laptop somehow successfully managed to impress buyers with the efforts made by HP and Disney in their attention to details. With plenty of dorky effects by the company when it comes to the machine covered in Stormtroopers images or Aurebash writing, which replaces English, all these effects are far more dopey than any typical gaming rig that you might have, but still the efforts both HP and Disney is what seized the attention.

From the very packing of the laptop to the final view of the machine itself, it’s all about Star Wars. The box in which the laptop is packed is covered with images of Darth Vedar. This box contains a similar smaller box inside which resides all the cables of your machine and whatnot.

The device itself has received a complete makeover of Stormtroppers. The laptop stands as a great shining example of the entire Star Wars Empire. The laptop has been priced $699 and more as the specs go higher. But regular specs include a 15inch screen, 6^th Generation Core i5 or an i7 CPU, 2TB of storage capacity, and RAM up to 16GB. It also includes a graphics card – optional – and the usual USB HDMI ports assortment.

Having said that, does one really care about all the specs when the machine itself looks so intriguing and sinister?

Acer Aspire Switch 12

The Acer Aspire switch 12 gets a little bit tricky when you open it up for the first time. Its screen faces backwards away from both you and the keyboard. You actually have to remove the keyboard and re-attach it to the front screen. This is how you will able to use switch 12 as a conventional laptop. The keyboard isn’t much impressive but robust enough to stand against any odds. It is quite small in size for continuous long term typing. It doesn’t have the track pad, however it has those nipple pointers and two tiny mouse buttons. So we can observe that it is basically a tablet meant for entertainment purposes. The 12.5 IPS touch-screen display is bright and colorful with a resolution of 1920×1080. It works great for streaming video and browsing photos.

With Intel Core M-5Y10a dual-core runs at 800MHz scoring 1964 and 2434 in the PCMark 8. The battery life is quite satisfying as it runs for a good 8 hours.

The performance is satisfying as it produced scores of 2401 and 2690 when running at home and office respectively in PCMark. These are fairly good numbers for routine browsing and Microsoft office usage.

Dell Inspiron 15 5000

Coming with an Intel Broadwell Core i7-5500U dual-core CPU running at 2.4GHz (3GHz with Turbo Boost), the Dell Inspirion is a stylish and good quality laptop, modest enough for both home and office use. It comes with a memory of 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB hybrid hard drive. The battery life is quite satisfactory, offering at least 5 hours and 15 minutes of streaming time. This 15.6 inch display only provides a resolution of 1366×768 with limited viewing angles. But to be honest, most of the low budget laptops compromise on their displays. Considering the strong performance of the laptop in this affordable price, we can safely say that this would be a good buy.

HP Envy x360 15

HP Envy x360 15 is another low budget laptop weighing around 2.4Kg, it’s heavier than 5 and a half iPad Airs. The screen is 360-degree reversible. The screen resolution is only1366x768, but is quite bright. It is well-suited for streaming videos. The screen is touch-sensitive too providing you with ease and comfort.

Review of Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14

Focusing on people’s needs and demands laptop manufacturers are evolving laptops so they can offer more to their customers. Hybrid and flexible machines are ruling the tech market because of their tendency to do more. Lenovo having Yoga range at its disposal has successfully made a big name in the world of hybrid computers. Recently Lenovo has launched its ThinkPad Yoga 14 which is a combination of typical work machine and a convertible laptop. It is designed to give you a rounded experience of more productivity and better entertainment. Let’s review its design and features to reveal its benchmarks and flaws.

Design

Starting over with its design lets first focus on its classic body made up of magnesium and curved plastic. The lid is made up of magnesium whereas rest of the laptop is made of solid plastic. It is a perfect combination of Yoga’s flexibility and ThinkPad’s sturdy design. In ThinkPad Yoga 14 Lenovo has taken ThinkPad’s AccuType keyboard, touchpad and the red pointing stick. It comes featuring a lift n lock keyboard which automatically turns into a flat plane whenever users fold back the screen.
Like other Yoga products this machine also has metal hinges which enables you to flip it backward to 360 degrees and enjoy it in multiple modes. So stay more productive with its laptop mode, enjoy favourite movies in stand mode whereas take most out of your gaming with the tablet mode.

Slim and Light

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14 is lighter than most of the other 14 inched laptops. Weighing just 4.2 pounds you can easily carry it around. It was rumored that with metal highness and magnesium body we will have to hold on some extra pounds but actually this laptop is even lighter than full plastic body laptops. Having a thickness of just 0.8-inches you get an ultra-slim machine. But Lenovo has offered us this slim design at this cost of optical drive.

Performance

We all know Lenovo never ditch us in terms of performance. With 1.7GHz Intel Core i5-4210U processor you can fly through all your business tasks. Combining 8GB DDR3L RAM and 1TB HDD with Nvidia GeForce GT 840M graphics this device will surely not disappoint gamers as well. Unlike its competitors, Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14 is the only laptop that houses a dedicated graphic chip. Dedicated Nvidia GT 840M gives you a fluid streaming of 4K YouTube video plus it smoothly runs graphically intensive applications.

Featuring a 14.0-inch IPS LED Backlit display with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution it brings life to your media. From favourite movies to documentaries everything can be enjoyed at its best. In order to enhance your usability Lenovo has offered a plethora of connectivity options. From USB 3.0 ports to HDMI to 4-in-1 card reader, everything works to give you a better user experience. Whereas Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 and Bluetooth 4.0 lets you enjoy wireless connectivity.

Battery Life

All those who were looking for a long battery life will be disappointed by its battery timing. By doing several tasks at a time and with high brightness, ThinkPad Yoga 14 offers you a battery life of almost 4 hours. However if you turn off the keyboard’s backlight and takes brightness level to 75% you may got around 45 minutes more. The biggest flaw in this laptop is that when we hold it from its front left corner, the laptop immediately turns off. It occurs due to misaligned battery cut off switch.

Verdict

Apart from its battery issues, Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14 is no doubt an excellent machine for both work and play. Featuring all the latest and most advanced features it is ready to offer us an experience we always wished for. It is much better than other such kinds of laptops manufactured by other brands like HP and Acer.
