dan.ackerman 10/6/2015 3:35:04 PMOk, so, Surface Pro 4 is 12.3 inches, Surface Book is 13.5 inches.

Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:35:14 PMIt's modeled after that A4 paper for a familiar feel.

Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:38:12 PMMicrosoft wanted to provide all the power and battery in the tablet portion of the product.

Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:38:29 PMBut you need to connect to the base for additional processing power.
-
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:38:57 PMMicrosoft uses a tech called muscle wire. It expands and contracts based on how you want to use it.
-
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:39:19 PMAt any time, you can pull off the top display half. Once you plug it in, it locks automatically.

Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:40:48 PMThe Surface Book is an intriguing product, but how does it compare with the Surface Pro 4. The leap between the two seem to be minimal.
-
Roger Cheng 10/6/2015 3:41:09 PMWith that, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is out on stage.
-
dan.ackerman 10/6/2015 3:41:24 PMLooks like we're wrapping it up shortly. I'm genuinely surprised and impressed here. Great-looking new products, with some new ideas.
