Microsoft's Surface Book goes on sale in the UK

Surface Book, Microsoft’s hybrid laptop/tablet combo, officially launches in the UK from today.

If you're not familiar with it, the device has a detachable screen, a hinge that divides opinion (some people think it looks great, others hate it), and enough power to suit most users’ needs. It has a 13.5-inch PixelSense touchscreen display with a 3:2 aspect ratio that makes it great for getting "real work" done.

If you're thinking of buying one, be warned it’s a little pricey. The base model, with a Core i5 processor, is priced at £1,299, while the top of the line model, which boasts a Core i7 processor and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GPU, will set you back an even more wallet-worrying £2,249.

Surface Book is available to buy today through Microsoft's online store and various other popular retailers, including Amazon, John Lewis and Currys PC World.
