The new Surface of Microsoft

The Microsoft Event today was a big breakthrough for the company. They have announced a bunch of new devices and features. So let’s dig into one of their major announcements. The new Surface, no it’s not the new Surface Pro. The new Surface or the Surface Book, or as Microsoft would like it to be, the MacBook killer. The Surface Book is almost just like a Surface Pro, it can be detached from the keyboard and has a touchscreen. When you attach the keyboard to the tablet part you are able to use the trackpad, which is a major feature. The trackpad is made of glass and not plastic like most laptops on the market. Microsoft put palm detection into the trackpad so that wh

en typing you don’t move the mouse while typing. That is an instant sell for me since I hate typing and my hand moves the mouse and I end up typing another word. Microsoft is trying something new by allowing us to use a pen with the Surface Book. The pen can be used to touch rather than using your fingers. The pen will attach to the side of the tablet part via a magnet. I think the Surface Pro will definitely be a MacBook killer thanks to the Intel I processor in it. It’s supposed to be released in a few weeks. Hopefully, I can get my hands on one for a review.
