Video: Hands on with the Microsoft Surface Book

At first glance, the Microsoft Surface Book looks and feels like a full featured 13-inch notebook. It feels heftier than most ultrabooks because it is mainly a tablet.

The top section which holds the multi-touch display and all the processors and ports connects to a keyboard which also houses a discreet GPU (in some models). This device weighs 3.34 lbs and less when it is in clipboard mode (just the tablet). 

What is impressive is the precise build quality and level of materials used. The 13.5-inch PixelSense touchscreen display (3000 x 2000) resolution is vibrant and easy on the eyes and keyboard lovers will fall hard for the accessory keyboard which looks and feels great. What's not so great, is the $1,949.00 starting price!
