Watch this: Microsoft reveals first-ever laptop, Surface Book 02:33 Microsoft has unveiled its first-ever laptop, a 13.5-inch Windows 10 device dubbed the Surface Book . The Surface Book is "the ultimate laptop," said Microsoft's head of devices, Panos Panay, announcing the device Tuesday. It is also, he added, the "thinnest, most powerful PC ever created." Enlarge Image Microsoft's Surface Book. Sarah Tew/CNET Never before has Microsoft ventured to create its own laptop, leaving that to hardware partners who have for years created PCs running the company's Windows software. For its first foray into the space, Microsoft has equipped what is clearly intended to be a flagship device with high-end components and a flashy design. The Surface Book's screen packs 6 million pixels and boasts the same Gorilla Glass and PixelSense touch technology as the Surface Pro 4 tablet, which was shown off shortly before the Surface Book at an event in New York. With 6 million pixels, the display promises to blisteringly sharp. Watch this: How Microsoft's Surface Book could save Windows 02:00 The display can be disconnected from the base to allow the laptop to morph into a tablet. The benefit of this, Microsoft said, is that it can be used like a clipboard for sketching with the dedicated Surface Pen stylus. The Surface Book is Microsoft's 'ultimate laptop' (pictures) See all photos Microsoft emphasized how quiet the keys on the laptop would be. The Surface Book has backlit keys and a glass trackpad. Inside are sixth-generation Intel processors and an optional Nvidia GeForce GPU. Microsoft claims the Surface Book is the fastest 13-inch tablet ever made, double the speed of Apple's MacBook Pro. It will harness the gaming abilities of the Xbox One. Microsoft promises up to 12 hours of battery life for the Surface Book. The Surface Book starts at $1,499 and will be available on October 26. Preorders begin Wednesday. Click here to see all of today's Microsoft news.

Still isn't especially lap-friendly. The Surface Go next to the Surface Pro. Sarah Tew/CNET Still sold separately If there's one thing that rubs me the wrong way about the Surface Go, it's this: While Microsoft has crafted a perfectly scaled version of its excellent keyboard cover, which I've always considered the most impressive part of the entire Surface ecosystem, it's somehow still not included in the purchase price. Like the keyboard covers for the larger Surface Pro models, you have to buy it separately, starting at $99 (£100 or AU$200) for plain black or $129 for the color versions. The Surface Pen stylus is also $99 (£99 or AU$139), and it's the same exact one as you'd use on the Surface Pro. If you have an existing Pen from an older Surface, just pair it with Bluetooth and it's good to go. Like other Surface systems, there's a built-in magnetic connection that can affix the stylus to the side of the system. Sarah Tew/CNET One small step The new smaller Surface takes the laptop-like Pro and shrinks it down to roughly an iPad's size. Running full Windows 10 (after the free upgrade from Windows 10 S) and an Intel CPU, even if a low-end one, this at least makes more sense than the much-derided original Surface RT, which used an ARM CPU and the limited and now largely forgotten Windows RT operating system. If you're the type of user who would get everything you need from a Chromebook or a

Reviews ethics statement The cheapest Surface is more portable but less powerful -- and you still have to buy the keyboard cover separately.

CredentialsAuthor of the award-winning, NY Times-reviewed nonfiction book The Tetris Effect; Longtime consumer technology expert for CBS Mornings Sarah Tew/CNETIt's smaller, more portable and less expensive. But it's also less powerful and still drives up the real-world cost by excluding must-have extra accessories. In other words, the new Surface Go from Microsoft is the answer to about half your PC tablet dreams. But starting at a very reasonable $399, that may be more than good enough. (Australian price is AU$599 and the US price converts to roughly £299.) Watch this: The Surface Go shrinks Microsoft's iconic tablet 01:32The Surface Go has a smaller 10-inch display than the 12.3-inch Pro, making it feel a bit like an iPad. But it also swaps the Core i-series Intel CPUs for lower-end Pentium processors. That means this new Surface may feel more like a budget laptop and less like a full PC. It's a step down in processing power, but the potential silver lining is that for most of what people do on their PCs today -- surfing the web, media playback, using online tools and services -- there may not be much of an experiential difference. The closest comparison is a similar Microsoft product called the Surface 3 (minus the "Pro" designation), which was a 10-inch variant released in 2015 with an Intel Atom processor. At the time, I referred to it as "trickle-down computing," and said it wasn't powerful enough to be your full-time computer. We'll have to spend more time testing and using the Surface Go to determine whether the same is true here. In person, during a brief hands-on demo session, the 1.15-pound Surface Go felt like it hit a sweet spot between design and functionality. The smaller body was perfect for toting around easily in the hand or in a small bag. The best parts of the Surface experience -- the excellent kickstand, the best-in-class keyboard cover, the great stylus support -- are all here in miniaturized form. It also takes a step into the future (some would say present) by adding a
