Pre-order new Surface Book laptop and Surface Pro 4

Two fast-talking presenters with “personalities” injected some excitement and coolness to the new Microsoft products announced at a live event (video replays avaiable) on 10/6/15, perhaps trying to take advantage of peak-iOS and peak-Android. Of interest to digital creatives, both the new Surface Pro 4 and the bigger Surface Book laptop (which is also a tablet) has a stylus with 1024 pressure points. Meanwhile the new Lumia smartphones come with 20mp PureView cameras with OIS and Zeiss lenses. There are plenty of previews of all these online by now.

+ Surface Book laptop/tablet at The Microsoft Store and Amazon by Amazon itself
++ prices go $1500 (i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB) to $2700 (i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB, Nvidia GeForce) depending on specs
