Microsoft's new Surface Book device is an absolute monstrosity of a computing product, as is perhaps best evidenced by its supremely steep price of $3,200.
When you fork out that sort of money, you want to know that you're guaranteed to be getting a truly groundbreaking, high-performance computing machine and that's exactly what is on offer. The new Surface Book features an Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM for lightning-quick processing, 1 TB of hard drive storage and a discreet graphics processing unit. If the discreet graphics processing unit isn't a necessity for you, you can eschew it and pay $500 less.
This new Surface Book will be available online only, and is targeted towards the most serious of computing enthusiasts who will use the powerful machine to its maximum potential.
