Apple's laptops finally have worthy

Apple's laptops finally have worthy
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Apple Laptop Battery
Microsoft introduced a new laptop at a New York press conference on Tuesday that's getting a lot of buzz.
Microsoft calls it the "ultimate laptop." I haven't got my hands on it yet but, based on what I saw from watching the press event online, I think I want one.
Unlike the company's Surface Pro tablets, including the new Surface Pro 4, the new Surface Book is a laptop that actually can be used on your lap because it has a real hinge rather than a kickstand.
I have a Surface Pro 3 with its optional Type Cover keyboard and while it works OK on a desk or table, it flops around if I try to use it on my lap or in bed. For many laptop users, that hinge is important because it's the only easy way to keep the screen upright. I also appreciate a real hinge when I'm covering an event from an auditorium where, in most cases, there are no tables to prop up your laptop with battery such as Apple A1057 Battery, Apple A1039 Battery, Apple M9326 Battery, Apple M8983 Battery, Apple M7621 Battery, Apple M6392 Battery, Apple iBook M2453 Battery, Apple M8665 Battery, Apple M9628 Battery, Apple M8956 Battery, Apple M9623 Battery, Apple M9422 Battery.
Based on what Microsoft said, there seems to be no compromises in the device's full-sized, backlit keyboard, even though it's removable from the screen. It also folds back, similar to Lenovo Yoga Windows laptops, so you can also use it as a tablet without having to take the screen off.
At 3.45 pounds with the keyboard, it's only 6 ounces heavier than a 13-inch MacBook Air, and 2 ounces lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Pro. The starting price is $1,499 for a system with 128GB storage and 8GB of RAM. Microsoft said it was twice as fast as a MacBook Pro, but that remains to be verified.
The Surface Book's dimensions are 12.30" x 9.14" x 0.51 - 0.90 inch, which makes it slightly thicker than the MacBook Pro. But unlike any Apple laptop, you can remove the keyboard to make it much thinner and lighter.
Microsoft claims 12 hours of battery life, which is the same as Apple's claim for the MacBook Air and two hours better than the MacBook Pro. Battery life depends on lots of factors and it's too early to know if Microsoft can deliver on its promise.
Nothing is going to kill off Apple's two excellent laptops but the Surface Book does compete nicely with both the 13-inch MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro. I bought the Air not because I'm in love with Macs or OS X, but because I like its size, weight and form factor and -- mostly -- the great battery life. If the Surface Book lives up to its hype, it will provide all that plus a removable keyboard and a touch-screen, which is a feature that Apple is sorely missing from its line of laptops.
