Living Book: Microsoft dredge MacBook fans – ZDNet France

As pévu, Microsoft Surface Book is available in France on Thursday in store and online. The first PC 2-in-1 made in Microsoft has everything to seduce. I must say that Redmond has surprised everyone with this rather innovative product both in form and substance.

Hybrid boook the Surface is a laptop and a tablet because the
 keyboard to detach. The screen is 13.5 inches with 6 million
 pixels (267 ppi). The slab is designed for the fingers but also the
  stylus. Microsoft seems very proud of his keyboard, “25 years strong
 experience in the field. “The trackpad is glass, as the
 latest Macbook Pro.

It features a Intel i7 processor, SSD drive, a graphics chip
  G Force NVDIA and battery promises 12 hours of autonomy. And
 accusing 1.5 kilos on the scale. interesting point: the map
 graphic is housed in the keyboard because PC games are played
 often with the help of the keyboard. The rest of the components is placed in
 the tablet game.

As far as Microsoft, it shows modest in claiming the “PC thinnest and most powerful
  ever created “. Nothing less. During his presentation, Microsoft
 also clarified that its new product was twice as powerful
  a MacBook Pro. The opponent is appointed. The price confirms this. The
 entry level version, if you will, comes with 128GB
 SSD, a Core i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM is proposed to 1649 euros …
 With more aggressive configurations, the 16 GB Rbête passes to 2069,
  2319 and 2919 euros for the most high-end version (Intel Core
 i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB of storage).

Given its price, its positioning and specifications,
 new Microsoft Surface Book aims in particular users
 Mac. We know they are very loyal to Apple, Redmond
  So it comes to seducing evangelizing.

Microsoft has released a guide
  to spend Mac to its 2-in-1 hybrid. The editor uses here
 good old marketing strings widely used in
 phones to entice users to apple “switcher”. Apple
  well done the same thing to lure Android users.

  the giant, he is not about to denigrate or joking but
 explain. Explain what is the philosophy of this machine, its
 functions and contributions of Windows 10 and even Windows in general. of the
 tips and tutorials are obviously present.

The user
  Mac learns to transfer its personal files in a universe
  the other, Microsoft also taking to reassure on the theme: “you do
 lose anything … “

If the position is the same as the MacBook, Microsoft also takes the same obsolescence Apple approach. This approach partly explains the deplorable rating (1/10) inflicted by the specialist iFixit disassembly, in terms of repairability and scalability.

  Indeed, to save weight, Redmond has made some choices:
 using glue to attach the elements: the window on the screen
 but the RAM, CPU and GPU, which are therefore
 impossible to replace components …

On
  may speak of planned obsolescence for every machine sold
  well over 1500 dollars. But the surface that compares Book
 often the MacBook is not worse than Apple. iFixit attributed the
 same note to the latest version of Iceberg Machine …
