Project Brief
The 13.5-inch optically bonded PixelSense Display delivers a high-contrast 267 dpi display with improved latency and parallax, making it not just beautiful to look at but natural and fluid to write on.
The screen also detaches, so it can be used like a clipboard to sketch, take notes and benefit from Windows programs like Microsoft Edge. An optional discrete GPU allows Surface Book to harness the full power of hardware-accelerated graphics for seamless video editing, fast rendering or immersive gaming.
Project Innovation/Need
Surface Book is built with a lightweight magnesium chassis and Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge for a perfectly balanced look and feel. Surface Pen attaches for easy storage. Video calls feel real in 1080p.
PixelSense™ Displays combine Pen and touch with higher resolution than MacBook Pro 13”.1 Breathe new life into your designs with this stunning display. Rest your hand while you write as you would with a sketchbook or a legal pad. Paint, write, and draw in a natural way using Surface Pen.
Surface Book uses Muscle Wire®2 to hold its screen in place securely, while still allowing it to detach perfectly with the push of a button.
