Almost a month after Apple present its iPad ProMicrosoft has responded with two new products that aim to overshadow the Apple device. Yesterday at a special event in New York, the Redmond giant announced the Surface Pro 4 in addition to the Surface Book Laptop and a wearable called the Microsoft Band.

The biggest surprise was clearly the Surface Book, the first laptop entirely created by Microsoft and presented as a device up to twice as powerful as any MacBook Pro of its category.

The arguments presented by the Surface Book is a 13,5 inch screen that can easily be undocked from the keyboard to become a tablet, which works with the stylus offered by the company. It also boasts a 12-hour battery life, a CPU based on Intel Core i5 or i7, a dedicated Nvidia graphic, two USB 3.0 ports and an input for SD cards, so if we put everything together we have a team of great benefits.

This Surface Book will be available at the end of October 26 with a confirmed price of 1.330 Euros.

On the other hand, the new generation of the Surface Pro was also presented with a 12,3 ″ diagonal screen with 5 million pixels and a density of 263 ppi, at the same level as the iPad Air 2 but taking into account that the latter it has a diagonal of only 9,7 ″. The Surface Pro 4 is just 8,4mm thick, thinner than the Surface Pro 3 at 9.1mm. Besides it also has a 9MP main camera and Gorilla Glass 4 protection.

The tablet is 30 percent faster than its predecessor, it integrates a sixth generation Intel processor with a hybrid cooling system, up to 16GB of RAM and storage up to 1TB of SSD.
