Microsoft gives meaning to mobility with new Surface Book, 950 Lumia series


 
Building on its track record of pioneering new categories, Microsoft has said it has given new meaning to mobility with Tuesday unveiling of Surface Book and Lumia 950 and 950 XL devices ITRealms reports.

The Surface Book is a powerful, high-performance laptop with stunning craftsmanship and incredibly accurate and responsive pen and touch support. Ultrathin, Surface Book combines the impressive power of 6th Generation Intel® Core i5 and Core i7 processors with up to 12 hours of battery life4.

Microsoft Corp, ITRealms gathered, on Tuesday unveiled new Surface, Lumia and Microsoft Band devices, taking advantage of powerful and versatile hardware to unlock new Windows 10 experiences, including fast and secured login with Windows Hello1; new Cortana2 experiences that turn Windows 10 devices into a personal assistant; improved touch and pen experiences on Surface; and Continuum for phones, which enables the new Lumia 950 and 950 XL phones to work like PCs3. Showcasing the innovation possible with Windows 10, Microsoft also shared new gaming experiences from Xbox and new details on Microsoft HoloLens, the first fully untethered holographic computer.

The Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft, Satya Nadella, said, that with Windows 10 and these new Microsoft devices, users are at the center of magical new experiences.
“We’re moving people from needing to choosing to loving Windows, and these devices promise to fuel even more enthusiasm and opportunity for the entire Windows ecosystem,” Nadella said.

Now running on 110 million devices around the world, Windows 10, ITRealms learnt, is off to the fastest start in history — seeing upgrades at three times the rate of Windows 7 in the same time period. With more than 1.25 billion visits to the Windows Store, Microsoft announced all-new universal apps for Windows 10, including Box, Facebook, Instagram, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Flipagram, Uber, and others. These apps add to the existing Windows 10 experiences that will be available on the new Microsoft devices.
