Microsoft
has announced new premium models of its Surface Book and Surface Pro 4
computers, with extra memory and storage to satisfy the needs of power
users.
The company is also launching a gold version of its Surface Pen accessory, which will be sold separately from the new hybrids.The most expensive options for both the Surface Book and the Surface Pro 4 outfit the devices with Intel Core i7 processors, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. Furthermore, the Surface Book can now be configured with discrete Nvidia graphics. It seems that Microsoft is targeting PC purists who might use limp system specifications as a reason to hold off considering its high-end range of hybrids. The company has aggressively marketed the Surface as “the tablet that can replace your laptop” — and these models are built to do just that.

Microsoft certainly seems eager to compete in the changing laptop
market, and going head-to-head with Apple appears to be the going
strategy. Meanwhile,
the gilded edition of the Surface Pen offers a glitzy take on the
previously released stylus, but no other differences. It’s set to retail
for $60, and comes packaged with the Surface Pen Tip Kit that was released late last year.
The Intel Core m3 runs desktop software just like a laptop. Stream music and shows with iTunes and Netflix. It cost starts at $899 around #224,750 naira, while the Intel Core i5 price starts at $999 about #249,750 naira and the Intel Core i7 starts at $1,599 about #339,750 naira. More information on all devices in the Surface line can be found on the official Microsoft portal.
