\u201cLet\u2019s put artificial intelligence into a state of the art machine. What could go wrong?\u201d \u2026aaand that\u2019s the start of any number of science fiction blockbusters going all the way back to the 1927 Fritz Lang epic film Metropolis. It\u2019s actually a much older story, stretching back to the ancient Greek story of Pygmalion, but it\u2019s been revisited countless times in recent years \u2013 usually with disastrous results. So guess what Microsoft did? We put artificial intelligence into a state of the art device, and the results have been spectacular.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the state of the art device<\/h2>\n

Sporting a 6th generation Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 processor, and four distinct modes of use, Surface Book is the most powerful and the most versatile 13-inch laptop available today. At 1.52kg, it\u2019s also one of the lightest. When you add its responsive touch-screen, 261 pixels per inch, and 8MP built in camera, you can see why users view it not just as state of the art, but as a work of art as well.<\/p>\n

Add Machine Learning<\/h2>\n

But the device is just the start. Every Surface Book comes standard with Windows 10: the most advanced Windows OS ever created. It uses machine learning to do everything from making log-ins faster and easier, to keeping your data secure. With Windows Hello, advanced facial recognition technology uses your face as a digital fingerprint to log you in. It\u2019s so advanced it can even tell identical twins apart.<\/p>\n
