Microsoft beefs up Surface Book with sheer performance and battery life

Microsoft just turned things to eleven for its Surface Book laptop.

The revamped Surface Book i7 has 2x the graphics performance of its predecessor and 3x the graphics performance of a 13-inch MacBook Pro. Microsoft also touted its battery life, which is good for up to 16 hours of video playback.

With a starting price of $2,399, the Surface Book i7 is also not cheap, when it ships on Nov. 10.

Design-wise, the Surface Book i7 is virtually identical to the original with its unique "dynamic fulcrum hinge." It also supports the Surface Pen, too, which is included.

The Surface Book i7 still has a gorgeous 13.5-inch PixelSense display with 3,000 x 2,000 resolution and touch points of multi-touch.

And it's got lots of ports: two full-sized USB 3.0 ports, SDXC memory card slot, headphone jack and Mini DisplayPort.

Here are the three configurations the Surface Book i7 comes in:

• Intel Core i7, 8GB of RAM, NVIDIA GTX 965M GPU, 256GB SSD ($2,399)

• Intel Core i7, 8GB of RAM, NVIDIA GTX 965M GPU, 512GB SSD ($2,799)

• Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM, NVIDIA GTX 965M GPU, 1TB of SSD ($3,299)
