Microsoft is developing a Surface Notebook for gamers!
This low-end, gamer-friendly Surface Book, which includes 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, costs $1,699 (£1,100 or AU$2,350). That’s $200 more than the same model without the GeForce chip. This new version is set for release Monday, the official launch date for all Surface Book models, but is not available for preorder. All other models are showing at least four-week to seven-week waits before shipping, according to Microsoft’s site.
$1,699 for a laptop with an i5 processor? That’s a lot of money for a game of solitaire. Jeez, my laptop didn’t even cost that much and it has an overclockable i7 Haswell in it with a GTX 870m, 16 GB of RAM and 1TB + 256GB for disk space. Somehow I get the feeling they haven’t looked at Asus, MSI and co’s gaming laptops to see what the competition is like.
