Surface Book

The ultimate laptop
Incredibly powerful and meticulously crafted, Surface Book is a revolution in laptop design. The detachable 13.5“ PixelSense Display is optimized for Pen and touch and has higher resolution than MacBook Pro 13”.1 With the full power of a high performance laptop and the versatility of a tablet, Surface Book gives you everything you need to work with professional-grade software, anywhere you want.

Built for performance

Meticulously crafted and built to last
Surface Book was carefully designed to be a powerful laptop that is thin enough to take anywhere without losing an ounce of performance. It's built with a light magnesium chassis and an innovative Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge to keep it balanced at any angle.

Detachable PixelSense Display, with Pen and touch
The 13.5” PixelSense Display on Surface Book is simply stunning, while working perfectly with Pen and touch. The 6 million pixels give you unbeatable resolution and color rivaling real life to bring your creations to life. Detach the display to transform Surface Book into a thin and light Intel Core i5/i7 PC, that runs professional grade software. Surface Pen has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity and an eraser on the other end, so handwritten notes on your screen are just like pen on paper.

Watch, draw, or design
Once detached, flip the screen 180 degrees and reattach it to the Integrated Keyboard to present, watch movies, or design with Surface Pen. And you’re only a click away from the Windows Ink workspace, with quick access to sticky notes, a blank page for sketching, or a quick screenshot that you can mark-up and share.

Engineered for professional-grade software
Surface Book speeds through intensive professional software, like SolidWorks 3D CAD, AutoCAD Revit, and Adobe Premiere Pro. With the power to run this software anywhere, you’re no longer chained to your desk. Now you can create anywhere and everywhere, and the latest version of Windows 10 will always include up-to-date security and protection.

Log in with a smile
Sign in to your Surface with enterprise-grade facial recognition technology that can remember multiple faces, giving each member of your family access to their own profile.

Best care and support at Microsoft Stores
When you buy a Surface from Microsoft Store, you'll receive unrivaled customer service and personalized care, including a 30-day return policy, 90 days of free technical phone support, 12 months in-store support and technical assistance, 1 complimentary training session, and more.
