Microsoft announces Surface Book i7, Windows 10 Creators update

Microsoft has announced a new Surface Book laptop whose battery life is 30 percent longer at 16 hours. Shares of Microsoft were up 0.2 percent in morning trading. Terry Myerson, Microsoft’s executive vice president for the Windows and devices group, said the update was tailored for gamers who are increasingly interested in augmented and virtual reality experiences. The three new Surface Book models will come with sixth Generation Intel Core i7 processors and pack more than twice the graphics processing power compared to the original Surface Book. “With Surface Book with Performance Base, engineers can spin 3-D CAD models with thousands of parts, designers and developers can render large files quickly, and gamers can play more of their favorite games. No other laptop combines similar battery life, performance and pixels in as lightweight a package,” Microsoft writes in a press release. “Windows 10 will be your platform for gaming glory,” he said at a product launch event in New York. Accessories for the update will start at $299, Myerson said. The revamped operating system and accessories, which also will let users tour world heritage sites in virtual reality, come as Microsoft’s Windows and mobile business is struggling. Revenue for the unit fell 1.8 percent last quarter to $9.29 billion, Microsoft said last week. It forecast the division’s sales at up to $11.6 billion for this quarter, well below year-earlier results of $12.7 billion. Nonetheless, Microsoft is riding high on its fast-growing cloud business, which companies can use to host their websites, apps or data. Shares of Microsoft have doubled since August 2013, with Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella restoring investor confidence by focusing on mobile and cloud computing rather than PCs. Surface Book with Performance Base starts at $2,399 ERP USD, which is approximately Rs 1,60,000. It is available for pre-order at Microsoft Stores,  MicrosoftStore.com and select retailers in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It will be made available starting November 10. The company has also announced a free update to its Windows operating system that lets users take photos and edit content in three dimensions, in a bid to raise excitement for its declining computing business. The Windows 10 Creators Update, coming in early 2017, lets users on mobile devices take three-dimensional photos by scanning an object as they walk around it. It also allows for 3D graphics in Microsoft’s popular PowerPoint presentation software, and a new “Paint 3D” application lets people edit photos and other designs in three dimensions.
