Microsoft Surface Book [CR9-00001]

An unusual and quite advanced combined device in an aluminum case, consisting of a cool tablet part and an attachable keyboard unit. Assembled, it becomes a modern and quite powerful hybrid laptop. It has a few key features. Firstly, the keyboard unit, besides the keys and touchpad, also contains a second, more powerful battery and a discrete Nvidia graphics card. This card’s performance is weak, but still better than the integrated processor graphics core. As a result, in a purely tablet version, the device works for 2-3 hours, but with the keyboard attached, the autonomy increases to 10-12 hours. Secondly, this hybrid has an unusual mechanism for rotating the display unit, i.e., the tablet part. It consists of separate segments, which looks very cool. Thirdly, there is an entirely non-standard attachment system for the keyboard and tablet. It works thanks to the memory effect of a titanium-nickel alloy - Nitinol. I won't go into details, just to say that the attachment is super reliable and impossible to disconnect if the battery is completely dead. The laptop weighs 1.5 kg assembled, and the tablet separately weighs 730 grams. Considering that the screen is 13.5 inches, the size and weight are quite pleasant. The performance of this device is phenomenal. The Core i7-6500U processor operates at speeds up to 3.1 GHz, alongside 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. In short, it can handle literally everything except games.
