Microsoft are betting big on a premium laptop that rivals Apple’s MacBook Pro and turns into a tablet – but it’s the kind of innovation they have needed

Microsoft did something shocking last night. It launched something people might actually lust over, something sleek, something powerful, something innovative. The Surface Book.

At an event in New York rammed with press and industry types and live-streamed to the world, Microsoft confidently and defiantly unveiled its grand vision of Windows 10 devices.

SHUT the FRONT DOOR it is ALSO A DETACHABLE TABLET

Been awhile since Microsoft's had a device oriented event that drew Apple/Google buzz. A lot of work left but IMO headed in right direction

I'm rarely all that impressed by these events but @Microsoft is killing it. Tons of new ideas/products and live demos.
